Skil tells us you can expect up to 1,000 nails per charge with a 2.0Ah battery. A small viewing window lets you keep an eye on your available capacity, and a dry-fire lockout prevents unintended damage to your material. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the entire course of my testing, I didn\u2019t experience any jams or misfires. They\u2019re probably going to come eventually, like all nailers, but it\u2019s not going to be due to a chronic design issue. If you have a jam, clearing it is easy thanks to a simple latching mechanism on the front of the tool that flips down and out, similar to the latch on many&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/best-tool-box-reviews\/\">tool boxes<\/a>. Just be sure to remove the battery and nails first, just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-04-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"tool-free jam clearing\" class=\"wp-image-149979\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-04-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-04-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-04-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-04-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-04-650x434.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-04.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>My one complaint about this nailer is that there&#8217;s a slight firing delay when you pull the trigger. It&#8217;s not a big deal when you&#8217;re firing single nails, but I really noticed it on bump fire mode. Just keep in mind that you&#8217;ll need to slow down a little to make sure each nail fires properly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-skil-18-gauge-brad-nailer-design-notes\">Skil 18-Gauge Brad Nailer Design Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-02-1-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"Skil brad nailer profile\" class=\"wp-image-149981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-02-1-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-02-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-02-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-02-1-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-02-1-650x434.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-02-1.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Model: Skil NA1800B-10<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Power Source: Skil 20V battery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weight: 5.9 lbs.

It measures 11.3 inches from tip to tail and stands 10.6 inches tall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The grip features a smooth rubber overmold and grooves that help channel away sweat and debris. I really love the actual grip shape\u2014it contours nicely to my palm and feels very secure in a variety of positions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adjusting the drive depth is pretty easy. Skil utilizes a tool-free thumb-wheel that allows you to make quick adjustments on the fly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-05-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"depth adjustment\" class=\"wp-image-149982\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-05-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-05-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-05-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-05-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-05-650x434.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-05.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as visibility goes, I have to give Skil a big thumbs up. The nose of the tool is fairly narrow, and they utilize top and side mounted LED lights to reduce shadows. Now, it&#8217;s not 100% shadow-free, but I think adding the second LED was a great design choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last design element I wanted to highlight isn&#8217;t even on the tool, rather, it&#8217;s the battery and charger. As I mentioned before, this kit comes with a PWRCore 20 2.0Ah battery, but Skil did something pretty clever with this one. Skil opted for a 45W charging brick and a USB-C cord over a larger single port charger. We&#8217;ve seen this technology put to use with certain 4V tools, but this is the first time I&#8217;ve seen it on a 20V system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-07-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"battery charger\" class=\"wp-image-149983\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-07-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-07-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-07-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-07-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-07-650x434.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-07.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>An added bonus to this USB charging system is you can charge your devices straight from the battery while you&#8217;re on the go. I was able to take my Samsung S21 Ultra from 45% battery up to 100% in about 35 minutes, pretty fast if you ask me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-skil-18-gauge-brad-nailer-price\">Skil 18-Gauge Brad Nailer Price<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This cordless brad nailer retails for $199 as a kit and comes with a 20V 2.0Ah battery, compact charging brick, USB-C power cord, and a few brad nails to get you started. Skil backs this nailer with a standard 3-year warranty, but if you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skil.com\/account\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">register<\/a> your nailer within 30-days of purchase, they&#8217;ll extend it to 5 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-bottom-line\">The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For a first-generation tool, we think Skil is on the right track. The Skil PWRCore 20 18-gauge brad nailer displayed confident firing power here in our shop when we tested with both hard and soft woods. Its design is very user-friendly, even for a beginner, and the ergonomic grip makes it easy to handle and maneuver. We think this is a great option for our serious DIYers, and even value-minded Pros, if you want to leave the hoses and compressors behind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-vivid-red-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/acmetools.pxf.io\/c\/2242671\/817692\/11565?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.acmetools.com%2Fskil-pwr-core-20-brushless-20v-18ga-brad-nailer-kit-na1800b-10%2F195532201008.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Buy at Acme Tools<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ditch The Hoses And Compressors With The All New Skil 18-Gauge Brad Nailer Over the last few years, we&#8217;ve seen [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1007,"featured_media":149975,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[35,3],"tags":[972],"manufacturers":[959],"tulos-amazon-subid":[],"class_list":["post-149408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nail-guns","category-tools","tag-brad-nailer","manufacturers-skil"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.0 (Yoast SEO v23.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Skil PWRCore 20 18-Gauge Brad Nailer Review - Pro Tool Reviews<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Skil 18-gauge brad nailer fills an important gap in the ranks, but I want to know how this first-gen tool compares to the competition\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/skil-pwrcore-20-18-gauge-brad-nailer-review\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Skil PWRCore 20 18-Gauge Brad Nailer Review\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Skil 18-gauge brad nailer fills an important gap in the ranks, but I want to know how this first-gen tool compares to the competition\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/skil-pwrcore-20-18-gauge-brad-nailer-review\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Pro Tool Reviews\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/protoolreviews\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-01-20T16:00:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-01-17T19:44:14+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-02.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"850\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"567\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Josh McGaffigan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@protoolreviews\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@protoolreviews\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Josh McGaffigan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"6 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/skil-pwrcore-20-18-gauge-brad-nailer-review\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/skil-pwrcore-20-18-gauge-brad-nailer-review\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Josh McGaffigan\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/#\/schema\/person\/0a9b48ba15ed1a7ea96e8a975a0cd04b\"},\"headline\":\"Skil PWRCore 20 18-Gauge Brad Nailer Review\",\"datePublished\":\"2024-01-20T16:00:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-01-17T19:44:14+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/skil-pwrcore-20-18-gauge-brad-nailer-review\/\"},\"wordCount\":862,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/skil-pwrcore-20-18-gauge-brad-nailer-review\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Skil-18-Gauge-Brad-Nailer-02.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"brad nailer\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Cordless Nailer Reviews &amp;
