A game changer in finish and trim woodworking, have you heard about Grex Power Tools' all-new **[GC1850 cordless brad nailer](https://www.nailgundepot.com/grex-gc1850-cordless-18-ga-brad-nailer-2-details.html)**? An industry first, the Grex cordless brad nailer boasts a compact design – without sacrificing power, quality or versatility.

![Grex GC1850](https://www.nailgundepot.com/media/magefan_blog/2016/04/Grex_GC1850-256x300.jpg) Innovative yet practical, the GC1850 is powered by 2 AAA alkaline batteries and an individual fuel cartridge. The tool is rated to run at least 50,000 shots per battery life-cycle, while each **[Grex fuel cartridge](https://www.nailgundepot.com/grex-gfc01-finish-fuel-cell-details.html)** holds approximately 1,300 shots of odorless compressed gas – with no expiration date. Eliminating a bulky battery, the Grex GC1850 is comparable in size and weight to most other pneumatic brad nail guns.

![Grex Cordless Comparison](https://www.nailgundepot.com/media/magefan_blog/2016/04/Grex_GC1850_Comparison2-300x200.jpg) The GC1850 addresses an age-old concern among trim carpenters and woodworkers - the need for a lightweight, cordless finish nailer. One matching the benefits of other competing models – without sacrificing the ergonomics of an air tool. This Grex cordless is the first to do both.
