Grex 1850GB Brad Nailer

Dry-fire lockout, rear exhaust, belt hook, and swivel air fitting

By Kit Camp

Price: $198
Weight: 3.0 lb.
The Green Buddy is heavy-duty and quiet. The only feature it’s missing is a quick-release nose for clearing jams. It has a nice swivel air fitting and a cutaway at the back of the magazine that helps it fit into corners. This tool did make larger holes than some of the other nailers in the hardest of my test materials. Features: dry-fire lockout, rear exhaust, belt hook, and swivel air fitting.
