The Bosch GNB18V-12K14 PROFACTOR 18V Concrete Nailer is a powerhouse tool, part of the PROFACTOR System. It's designed for heavy-duty interior steel framing and commercial drywalling jobs. This nailer can drive up to 1.5-inch collated concrete nails into concrete with ease. The PROFACTOR System pairs BITURBO Brushless Technology, a high-performance motor and drive-train system, with a CORE18V High Power Battery. This cordless nailer is a great alternative to gas-powered ones as it eliminates the need for consumable gas cartridges. It features an air-spring design for fast and consistent nailing. The kit comes with a 22-shot collated magazine (an extra-capacity 44-shot magazine is available separately), a single-shot magazine, and a nosepiece. It has an open system, allowing you to use competitive collated nails and single shots. Bosch also offers a range of branded nails from 5/8 inch to 1-1/2 inch for concrete and 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch for steel applications. The nailer has an easy-to-use depth adjustment and an on-tool user display to manage performance, troubleshoot, and check battery life. The CORE18V 8 Ah High Power Battery is compatible with Bosch 18V tools, optimized for PROFACTOR tools, and provides twice the runtime of the CORE18V GBA18V40 Advanced Power Battery. The kit includes a GNB18V-12 PROFACTOR 18V Concrete Nailer, a GBA18V80 18V CORE18V Lithium-Ion 8 Ah High Power Battery, an 18V Charger, a 22-Shot Collated Magazine, a Single-Shot Magazine, a Single-Shot Nosepiece, a Utility Hook, and a Carrying Case.
Using the Bosch GNB18V-12K14 nailer is a breeze. First, make sure the battery is fully charged. Insert the battery into the nailer and it's ready to go. For collated nails, use the 22-shot collated magazine. If you need single shots, switch to the single-shot magazine and nosepiece. Adjust the depth of the nail using the easy sliding switch according to your workpiece. The on-tool user display will show you tool performance, battery life, and can help with troubleshooting. When operating, hold the nailer firmly. The removable footpiece provides stability when firing perpendicular to the workpiece. The LED worklight helps you see what you're doing. For transportation, use the tool-lock switch to lock the tool. To maintain your nailer, keep it clean after each use. Wipe off any dust or debris. Check the magazine regularly for jams. Make sure to use the right size and type of nails recommended by Bosch. Store the nailer in the carrying case when not in use to protect it.
