The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other power tools and workshop machinery we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
With a 4.6-star rating from 218 verified reviews, the SKIL NA1800B-10 stands out as one of the top-rated nailers in this category. Owners consistently reward it above competitors in a similar price band, and at $151.99 it positions as a mid-premium pick between the budget WEN 20512 and the higher-demand Metabo NT1850DG.
The listed weight of 7.4 pounds is the only published spec beyond the rating and review data. That means buyers must rely primarily on owner feedback rather than a full spec sheet. The 50 monthly sales figure is moderate compared to category leaders, suggesting it appeals to a specific segment rather than the broadest audience.
For a buyer who values a strong star rating as a confidence signal and is shopping in the $150 range, the SKIL NA1800B-10 is a compelling choice. Those who need confirmed voltage or nail capacity data before buying should cross-reference the SKIL product page directly.

- 4.6-star rating across 218 reviews is among the highest in this category
- Mid-premium price of $151.99 offers a step up from budget options without reaching $170-plus territory

- Published specs are limited to weight only, with no voltage or nail capacity listed
- 50 monthly sales is relatively low compared to high-demand models in this batch
