Worx Nitro WX842L
Score: 85/100Rankings
The Worx Nitro 20V is a powerful cordless brad nailer that utilizes NailForce Air Impact technology to deliver pneumatic-like performance without hoses. Its main trade-off is the higher weight and reliance on a specific battery ecosystem. It is best suited for professionals and DIYers who value cordless convenience and portability for interior finishing projects.
The Craftsman V20 Cordless Brad Nailer (CMCN618C1) is a complete kit solution for DIYers and professionals needing a portable 18-gauge brad nailer. It features a powerful brushless motor and includes a battery and charger for immediate use. While excellent for detail work and punch lists, its 18-gauge limitation and heavier total weight make it less suitable for heavy-duty trim installation.
