Editor's Notes

September 05, 2019:

In choosing our top picks, we have paid close attention to safety, ultimately deciding to remove the Freeman PP123 due to its awkward and non-intuitive safety feature. And although those we’ve included do have features to keep you out of harm’s way, it’s still important to pay attention to all precautions and wear the appropriate gear.

For those with larger budgets, we like the Porter Cable PIN138 or Metabo HPT NP35A, which is the new, renamed version of the Hitachi NP35A. Unlike many low-budget choices, these come with a carrying case and other accessories and offer features that make them appropriate for heavy use, such as automatic adjustment. But we decided to omit the similarly priced Makita AF353 over concerns about its longevity. For casual users, we like the Air Locker P630A or the NuMax SP123. They can’t do quite as much, but if you only use one of these tools occasionally, they’ll get the job done and complement a strong wood glue nicely.
