THE NEW
GNB 18V-38
NAILER & NAILS

Our first 18V nailer for concrete and steel – now part of our Professional 18V System.

Fast and powerful

Faster, easier and extremely satisfying. Our system consisting of concrete nailer GNB 18V-38 Professional and strong nails help you fasten steel tracks on concrete and steel in one swift and powerful motion. Now you no longer have to manually pre-drill holes and affix tracks using anchors and screws. The nailer is part of the high-performance 18V BITURBO Brushless series.

Peace of mind

The standard magazine of 22 nails is compatible with all Bosch Professional nails NB, NM and NK in lengths of 13 to 38 mm. With just one charge of the recommended ProCORE18V 4.0 Ah battery, the GNB 18V-38 Professional can fasten over 500 nails. Our nails are either certified according to the European Technical Assessment procedure (ETA/CE) or the American ICC certification for ultimate peace-of-mind.

Efficient, user-friendly design

The GNB 18V-38 Professional is a high-performance cordless nailer that works without a gas cartridge, so you can set-up quickly and lower costs. For your protection, the nailer can only be triggered when the nose is pressed firmly against the material. To fasten the next nail, the nose must be lifted briefly. If a nail jams, you can easily remove the nail by using the push-out pin.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I operate the concrete nailer?

First you put on your safety equipment. Then you insert the nail stripes into the magazine and insert the battery. Subsequently you turn on the power tool, press it down onto the workpiece and push the release button.

What does GNB 18V-38, NB, NK, NM mean?

GNB is the abbreviation for “Gewerblicher Nagler Beton” (Eng.: Professional Concrete Nailer”). “18V” stands for the 18V battery system with which the tool can be used. “38” shows the maximum nail length that can be used with this tool. NB stands for “Nagel Beton” (Engl.: Nail Concrete), NK stands for “Nagel Knurled” (Engl.: Nail Knurled), NM stands for “Nagel Metall” (Engl.: Nail Metal).

What kind of nail for which application should I use?

The NB nail is for joining drywall tracks on concrete. It is optimised for the concrete strength class up until C30/37 (cracked and non-cracked concrete) for dry internal conditions. Further information can also be found on the load table linked above. The NK nail is for joining wood on concrete and the NM nail is for joining drywall tracks on steel.

Why is the concrete nailer not called “nail gun”?

The mechanism works with a safe “full sequential” activation mechanism. Therefore, we call it “nail setting” or “nail fastening” and not “nail shooting”.

Is there a special maintenance available for the concrete nailer?

Please find all relevant information about the maintenance for the GNB 18V under PRO Deals – Free maintenance.

Where can I find more information?

You can find more information in your concrete nailer manual or on the specific product pages on our website.
