Metabo HPT Introduces an Industry First: the Battery-Only Cordless Duplex Nailer

Tool brand Metabo HPT expanded its MultiVolt system with the introduction of the industry’s first battery-only cordless Duplex Nailer. 

The company says the Duplex Nailer (model NR3675DD) combines its reputation as the Pro Preferred Brand of Pneumatic Nailers with a Lifetime Tool Warranty on cordless tools to deliver the quality and performance expected from a Metabo HPT nailer. This unique cordless nail gun immediately increases jobsite efficiency, saving money, and valuable time when concrete forming or building temporary scaffolding.

“The MultiVolt Duplex Nailer comes to market with a 2020 Pro Tool Innovation Award from Pro Tool Reviews for best-in-class products that are ahead of their time,” the company says. “This tool joins the MultiVolt Rebar Bender/Cutter (VB3616DA) to create the ultimate cordless platform for concrete professionals!”

Metabo says the Duplex Nailer revolutionizes concrete forming on the jobsite. Hand-driving duplex nails (the double-headed nails used regularly in building concrete forms) will quickly become a thing of the past, the brand says. Thanks to Metabo HPT’s Air Spring Drive System and 36V Multi Volt battery, you can leave the hammer behind and save valuable time.

“By combining the reliability of Metabo HPT’s proven cordless nailer technology, along with the power of MultiVolt battery technology, this cordless Duplex nailer can drive Duplex fasteners all day long,” the company says.

The cordless Duplex nailer produces high output energy that can drive two nails per second with a pneumatic-like feel due to Metabo HPT’s Air Spring Drive System. The NR3675DD features a brushless motor for longer runtime, increased power, and extended durability with essentially no maintenance, Metabo says. With zero ramp-up time, there’s no waiting for the tool to windup; simply turn on the tool on the simplified control panel, and you’re ready to go. 

Offering 36 volts, the tool is capable of driving up to 900 16D 3½ -inch Duplex nails per charge using the included 2.5Ah MultiVolt battery (model 371751M). For longer days, it can be powered by the 4.0Ah MultiVolt battery (model 372121M), driving up to 1,200 Duplex nails on a single charge. The NR3675DD Duplex Nailer accepts 6D, 8D, and 16D plastic strip collated Duplex nails.

The MultiVolt Duplex Nailer is equipped with a dry-fire lockout system and tool-less depth of drive adjustment. Selective actuation lets the user decide between bump and sequential modes for added flexibility. For increased user safety, it features a pivoting belt hook and side lock switch to prevent accidental firing. Metabo offers a Lifetime Lithium Ion tool body warranty. It weighs 10.8lbs with the included 2.5Ah MultiVolt battery and provides impressive power and runtime, allowing the user to work all day on just a single charge.

“This MultiVolt tool changes what is possible on the jobsite as the industry’s first cordless Duplex Nailer,” the company says. “It’s the newest addition to the MultiVolt system of cordless/corded tools from Metabo HPT that also includes other commercial-use tools, like a MultiVolt Rotary Hammer, Grinders, Impact Drivers, Impact Wrenches, and a Rebar Cutter/Bender—all of which can be used cordless with the MultiVolt battery OR corded with the AC Adapter for ultimate flexibility on the commercial jobsite.”

Once operating under the Koki Holdings America (formerly part of the Hitachi group), the company changed its name to Metabo HPT in 2018.
