A little secret about bump fire on Hitachi/Hikoki. Yes, NZ tools do not have it. At least the button :D When you peel back the rubber panel covering the switches, there is the button, just not labeled on top :P

Ah, okay, that's probably what we call a "third-degree burn" here in the States. Looks pretty gnarly, man. I hope you heal swiftly. It's always the mundane dangers that get us, eh? I shared your post with a couple of work buddies. Always worth a gentle reminder to stay vigilant. We don't do much concrete as we're carpenters, but the moral of the story is still valuable.

I admire that you can keep smiling when there are issues you have no control over. It's bloody frustrating when architects and planners can't give you accurate schematics and as a result your job keeps changing and growing. But what can you do? Stay on the high road Scott. Well done mate.

@@Back2Brick-Ben With todays insulation techniques, yes, I have a 13" solid wall, would die for a cavity at least, but a wall with Kingspan, Vapour barrier and insulated Plasterboard, no contest
The Hitachi does too, the Dewalt looks insanely annoying with the wind up and wind down hammer thingy. It needs to just be a quick fire like these 2 guns
@Scott Brown ... I got today ( 20th July ) finally my Milwaukee framing gun after almost one year waiting ... yeah it’s a bit heavy if work over your head all the time but who does it? Not me But I think the benefits are more important for me ... no hose,no power and no gas cartridge. I will see how it’s holds up on a Canadian winter and it can be very cold. And then there is the problem with the compressor and the hoses. I’m sick off this I hope the Milwaukee can handle it Greetings for BC 🇨🇦
Wolfgang Selle I thought everyone in Canada ran Milwaukee? Worked in Toronto for ten years and it was either a me or MAKITA crew. MAKITA’ s better in the heat
@Fly ingDutch ... maybe I don’t know I can only talk where I’m working and living and that is in the Southeast corner of BC here is everything mixed. From Hilti to Makita to Milwaukee. For me I have maybe 60% Milwaukee and 40% Makita. I was just last year summer switching to Milwaukee. But I think I will still have few Makita tools in the future because Milwaukee has this tools in there portfolio ( track saw, big cordless circular saw, cordless concrete vibrator ...... ) If at some point Milwaukee will have all this tools maybe then I’m will switch to 100% to Milwaukee? Who knows? Time will tell
Milwaukee framing gun is great but nothing beats the Hitachi/Hikoki for guns. Even though it’s not my general platform I went green for the framing, 15g and an 18.
That’s crazy they don’t let you guys have a bump fire over there, I didn’t know that That was an issue anywhere, That’s awesome that they sent that to you though, they make an extended magazine for it so you can run to full clips 👌🏽 Looking forward to your feedback when you get to use it a little bit more I’m thinking seriously about getting it
It's amazing that bump modes are illegal in NZ yet in the UK of all places it's perfectly legal (I assume it's for safety yet struggle to say how it's actually safer?).
I have the HIKOKI nail gun and wouldn’t go back to paslode. The only issue I have found is that it doesn’t like the wet weather. If it gets a bit damp it just shuts down until you dry it out.
Your inspections are tough, if we run into those kinds of problems, (Texas) we either just fix them or do an RFI to chase a change order. Either way, the inspector will never notice the change.
The Milwaukee seems to be a very good gun! I have had a hitachi for a year and have absolutely abused it and it hasn't failed. We bought two dewalts about 4 months ago and they have both completely stopped working. As for the Martinez hammer, I don't understand the difference between it and my 19 oz. Vaughan California framer. They both have steel heads and I prefer the wood handle. Oh and mine cost $25 us.
Love the vids ma bro..I'm a chippy in gizzy and your videos give me another perspective on processes..👌 i started in Auckland for dominion construction and haven't looked back since..✌
That’s true, I’m in the USA and we got the “automatic” version and as soon as u push it down on the wood it shoots, it would definitely be a little harder putting down frames for warehouses with the single fire nail guns
@@elwinvanwees8516 bump fire is when you hold the trigger and then fires when the safety is depressed. So all you have to do is bump the gun while depressing the trigger.. It is so much faster to nail. Most american nail guns have a selector switch for bump fire or standard fire. Once you've used bump fire you'll never want to go back. It is definitely more dangerous, but I've personally heard of only a handful of injuries due to bump fire nail guns and most were because of extra stupidity. Mostly from production framers zip tying the trigger to reach higher up while nail wall sheathing.(holding the gun by the nail magazine to get that extra foot of reach)
@@elwinvanwees8516 Finger has to be pressing trigger and safety pressed, I drill trigger discipline into newbies till they about hate me, accidents are incredibly rare, usually involve stupidity. I don't think there has been an accident involving that in the 24 years I've been doing this.
@@nicholassmith5079 haha can imagine. Yeah that makes sense, I was thinking it would fire without the trigger. With trigger pressed, it seems a good idea. Would indeed go so much faster doing sheathing.
they don't allow it but, i have bump fire on my dewalt. everyone hates dewalt but its an amazing gun if you don't let it kick you. my boss has the milwaukee but no bump fire. i live in the same city as scott
Hi Scott ,I bought a Porter cable framing gun which came with the bump fire trigger and with in the first hour of using it I was putting up cross members for a veranda roof i missed my footing on the ladder and put the nail gun against the very edge of the timber beam to steady myself the gun fired a nail that hit corrugated iron and came back towards me and gashed my arm as it passed me . I took it to the supplier who replaced the trigger on the spot and said it should not have been sold with the bump fire trigger.
I like watching to see how things are done in other countries. You mentioned ‘bump fire’ for the nail gun. My air nailers will do that, but I choose not to for safety.
Already extremely jealous, as not only do u have it already...BUT you get a hard case! Here is States, we get a “contractor bag” 😦. Rather have that nice hard case, cuz...ya know, being expensive & want to keep it nice & shiny😉 Happy nailing💪🏼 Cheers✌🏼
Very impressed with the quality of your vlogs man, I mainly only watch for automotive content but your doing very good, kept me entertained all the way through, prob helps I also do woodwork and such but I didn’t anticipate watching a video about it and enjoying it today 🙂 good job and keep it up 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I just bought the Milwaukee nailer and I love it, just made a 10 meter picket fence and the 5 mah battery was on quarter left so very very impressed with that. The weight did not bother me either , better than having to drag an air line around and it fired 63mm nailed under the wood consistently as well as 90mm nails. I love it personally.
Yep, they treat us like children here. We dont get worm drive saws either, my guess is for "safety reasons" also, dont ask me what. I have a 110v worm drive saw that i run with a step down transformer, honestly my fellow NZ builders dont know what theyre missing
@@googleisevil1041 haha true, or we get a few problems with some houses, and suddenly they freak out and just go crazy with the rules to make sure it never happens again, plus more. But you end up with an expensive house that will last an un necessary 1000 years
@@JimTom. worm drive a definitly legal here there just wasn't much market so they stopped the 240v versions. Land god for the rear handle cordless saws coming out.
@@MrHavokman oh ok, yeah the cordless ones are as close as we get. blows my mind how people would prefer the stupid sidewinders with the blade on the right side, to a rear handle wormdrive saw with blade on the left.
I've been using the milwaukee one. I love that has two hooks. It's an absolute life saver to me. It also stays on for 1 hour since it turns on. I heard hikoki one just stays on like 5 minutes if you leave it not nailing. But it is too heavy. It would have justified the weight if it had the bump fire mode. I don't get it. Australian model has the function
I have the hikoki, the time out function is around an hour 😊 I don’t mind the weight I come from using a compressor and air gun so convince alone puts a smile on my face haha
@@Dougy246 oh sorry for the wrong information btw I meant the milwaukee one's weight. The only thing I don't like about the milwaukee is the weight. It is over 5kg with a battery
lenard bosch I think it’s just when your using it most of the day 5 days a week an extra kg makes a difference. But like I said I have zero issues it’s a fantastic gun and I don’t have any issues using it 😁
So the Milwaukee is almost a direct copy of the Hikoki inside. I wont ever go back to a Paslode, had so many that just don't last in dusty and dirty conditions. The Hikoki makes the DeWalt 18v feel like a toy, althought the 9ah DeWalt batteries mean it lasts forever on Roofing jobs.
This is so far of from Sweden 🇸🇪 We have safety shoes, working pants with the campany logo on, jackets t-shirts and so on all ment for carpenter’s and with logo. Ear protections with bluetooth and radio & interrogation. Distance laser and a yardstick plus messuring tape. And a car with logos on and full of stuff. Good job by the way. We build different to.
Open that Milwaukee up and find what they unsoldered to make it not bump fire 😅 💯 it’s just the switch wire. Bump fire on the Hikoki finishing nailer is great you can slide and bump. Bit harder with the framers as there are designed to dig in.
The new Milwaukee framing gun is awesome. I tried one from the local Rep, so so impressed I purchased one. It fires into old hard rimu easily and leaves the paslode is its dust
I really enjoy that in your country they care about moisture content, thanks for sharing... I also use the 20 degree gun, it is a beast but it is HEAVY. 9:06 will they allow for more blocking to be installed between joist to get your 70 mm?- or do they require double sill plate to get to 70 mm? Either way, it looks like a quick saw cut at the studs will get you a full ''base'' / sill they require...
I concur with disengaged rapid firing of the framing guns. Similarly what is the weight difference between the two framers. Could you please show some plan: floor, elevation, sections. Take care, Have fun🌞
Wow, NZ council inspectors test moisture levels in framing? In Oz they kind of wander around and as long as nothing is really obvious they just tick the box. Private certifiers are often even more slack. We had one guy we used to call 'drive-by inspections', you'd be lucky if he got out of his car. Now that's true private sector efficiency!
Haha, I've got the same SDS drill. Got it as a cheap replacement to tide me over when works Ramset burnt itself out. Still going strong 4 years later and it just gets beaten.
Ha Haa mine has the bump fire and the extended magazine. Shot 5 LVL ridge beams together the other week. 40 nails in 60 seconds. Sunk every one of them. 😁
I don't think I've ever seen a fully sheeted exterior on an NZ house. Just a few bits of braceply in strategic locations, and building paper over unsheeted frames.
@@JimTom. we sheet basically the exact same way as they do in North America just with different products of plywood. I know because I worked as a carpenter for 4 years in Canada prior to moving here.
I always watch your videos with closed caption on, you know, in case you doing some "deck" work... lol, sorry, last "deck" joke, I promise. Great work to all you.
I used to work with a cheap mastercraft nailgun when I was working in Canada, seeing this beast of a nailer I really wish I had better tools at that time :D Great episode, as always! Thanks for you work :)
Awesome vid man. Crazy how you don’t have bump fire. We have it here in Aus and it’s amazing. Also why is the timber pink? Is it for termites or something?
Hi Scott I thoroughly enjoyed enjoy your vlogs, impeccably edited. Question- can you recommend an Australian carpenter You Tuber that you respect? Finally getting back to Oz after 3 years off the tools (1.5year forced Covid sabbatical) and need to get up to speed... Thanks, any help appreciated!
I recently framed a little table with two shelves using screws; and had a hell of a time getting things square while holding it together to put screws in. Feels like nails would have been a lot easier, especially watching you fire nails in with ease, no messing about with pilot holes! Great video as usual Scott! Are nails preferred for structural jobs? I've read some stuff about them being stronger than screws because they can flex whereas screws would snap.
Nails are mainly for speed I think. Screws pull stuff together and hold better generally. Nails will bend more without snapping, sometimes that is useful. Nails are less precise for something like furniture, especially fired from a gun. Going into something thin, they might come out the side if your aim was slightly off, or you hit a knot, or they might split what you're nailing into. You'd be better off piloting and hand nailing, which doesn't save time over screwing. Depends how much you care about the finish in what you are building.
Hi Chaps. I need some help - choose most poverful nailer Milwaukee or Hikoki/Metabo for using 90mm 3 1/2" ring shank nails in old wood. I have Dewalt brushless 1st fix for 2 years. Dewalt is good for new wood but weak for dry old victorian pine. Any advice are welcome.
what were your thoughts on the milwaukee gun ? ive been contemplating on getting it, but i wanna know what other tradies thoughts on the gun are first...
I love your videos! I find myself sometimes just saying out loud "Scott Brown here" with the fancy accent! I noticed the subtitles can't understand well when you're saying DECK, it thinks you're talking about some other kind of woody. Keep up the great videos and good spirit :)
"I don't miss the paslode very often, but when I'm doing things like that, I do - it's heavy!" - that comment carries a lot of depth and meaning for a small sentence. I guess it's only a matter of time before DeWalt bring out a new better gun than their current toy one that is near useless. A friend frames with the Hitachi and has the bradder too, I will chuck him this vid and see what he has to say :-)
It will be interesting to see how long the aircharge lasts compared to the hikoki. I had to send in my hitachi aka hikoki in after only 8 months to get the gas recharged.

We have safety shoes, working pants with the campany logo on, jackets t-shirts and so on all ment for carpenter’s and with logo. Ear protections with bluetooth and radio & interrogation. Distance laser and a yardstick plus messuring tape. And a car with logos on and full of stuff. Good job by the way. We build different to.
Open that Milwaukee up and find what they unsoldered to make it not bump fire 😅 💯 it’s just the switch wire. Bump fire on the Hikoki finishing nailer is great you can slide and bump. Bit harder with the framers as there are designed to dig in.
The new Milwaukee framing gun is awesome. I tried one from the local Rep, so so impressed I purchased one. It fires into old hard rimu easily and leaves the paslode is its dust
I really enjoy that in your country they care about moisture content, thanks for sharing... I also use the 20 degree gun, it is a beast but it is HEAVY. 9:06 will they allow for more blocking to be installed between joist to get your 70 mm?- or do they require double sill plate to get to 70 mm? Either way, it looks like a quick saw cut at the studs will get you a full ''base'' / sill they require...
Loved seeing the Canucks hat on your crew mate! Go Canucks go!
In Canada our tools have bump fire too. Even my M18 Brad nailer has a bump fire mode! That's weird you can't have that in NZ?
RR buildings “math never lies man”.
unless its election predictors/pollsters
Yep I've got the Milwaukee nailer and its a beast. Pity about the lack of bump fire though
Well done a really good job guys
I concur with disengaged rapid firing of the framing guns. Similarly what is the weight difference between the two framers.
Could you please show some plan: floor, elevation, sections.
Take care, Have fun🌞
Wow, NZ council inspectors test moisture levels in framing? In Oz they kind of wander around and as long as nothing is really obvious they just tick the box. Private certifiers are often even more slack. We had one guy we used to call 'drive-by inspections', you'd be lucky if he got out of his car. Now that's true private sector efficiency!
maybe because of the drier climate in oz ??
@@daver7867 dunno, tbh it seems a bit over the top to be worried about moisture content in the frame, its not like we're building furniture.
Nice, love the run down of the challenges, I'm an apprentice so any tips help
I keep watching nd following your channel mate,keep going
Haha, I've got the same SDS drill. Got it as a cheap replacement to tide me over when works Ramset burnt itself out. Still going strong 4 years later and it just gets beaten.
props on the canucks hat
Milwaukee's gen 2 brad nailer is awesome.
can confirm the ozito hammer drill is well worth the money
Haha have that same ozito rotary hammer drill spits rocks in my eyes too need a redesign on the fan
Canucks cap in the hoooooooooouse!!!.. (well, ok, it was outside the house but whatever) Shout out to the BC massive!.. ;)
That's what I call a normal day at work 😂😂
Ha Haa mine has the bump fire and the extended magazine. Shot 5 LVL ridge beams together the other week. 40 nails in 60 seconds. Sunk every one of them. 😁
The beats are nuts bro!
I can’t imagine not having bump when sheathing.
I don't think I've ever seen a fully sheeted exterior on an NZ house. Just a few bits of braceply in strategic locations, and building paper over unsheeted frames.
@@NickNameNick2 Fully sheeted homes are plenty common in NZ, I have done 4 just myself in the past 3 years. Think of your Ecoply, RAB board etc
@@Adsjabo They do exist, but we dont use sheathing (plywood) as the sub-cladding like they do in the USA, we just clad straight onto the wall framing
@@JimTom. we sheet basically the exact same way as they do in North America just with different products of plywood. I know because I worked as a carpenter for 4 years in Canada prior to moving here.
@@Adsjabo yeah i know, but i mean we typically dont use plywood or any sheet material behind our cladding (weatherboards)
I love ever episode bro keep up the good work
diggin the canucks hat
I live in America and I have never seen red lumber in my life lol, I'm assuming it's just pressure treated? Ours is grean
I always watch your videos with closed caption on, you know, in case you doing some "deck" work... lol, sorry, last "deck" joke, I promise. Great work to all you.
Its so old
Really loving the vancouver canucks hat though!
Over the ditch in Aussie we are all ok with bump fire. My Hikoki has it.
It’s pretty cool to see building codes from different parts of the world, plus the different safety regulations.
I used to work with a cheap mastercraft nailgun when I was working in Canada, seeing this beast of a nailer I really wish I had better tools at that time :D Great episode, as always! Thanks for you work :)
I live in the US and a bump fire gun is a must have that would be very annoying pulling the trigger each time.
Hi Scott, the reason you are not allowed bump action is they dont want to get you too excited.
Awesome vid man. Crazy how you don’t have bump fire. We have it here in Aus and it’s amazing. Also why is the timber pink? Is it for termites or something?
Hi Scott
I thoroughly enjoyed enjoy your vlogs, impeccably edited. Question- can you recommend an Australian carpenter You Tuber that you respect? Finally getting back to Oz after 3 years off the tools (1.5year forced Covid sabbatical) and need to get up to speed...
Thanks, any help appreciated!
I recently framed a little table with two shelves using screws; and had a hell of a time getting things square while holding it together to put screws in. Feels like nails would have been a lot easier, especially watching you fire nails in with ease, no messing about with pilot holes! Great video as usual Scott! Are nails preferred for structural jobs? I've read some stuff about them being stronger than screws because they can flex whereas screws would snap.
Nails are mainly for speed I think. Screws pull stuff together and hold better generally. Nails will bend more without snapping, sometimes that is useful. Nails are less precise for something like furniture, especially fired from a gun. Going into something thin, they might come out the side if your aim was slightly off, or you hit a knot, or they might split what you're nailing into. You'd be better off piloting and hand nailing, which doesn't save time over screwing. Depends how much you care about the finish in what you are building.
Where did you purchase the hikoki belt hook? Stock one is terrible!
Hi Chaps. I need some help - choose most poverful nailer Milwaukee or
Hikoki/Metabo for using 90mm 3 1/2" ring shank nails in old wood. I have
Dewalt brushless 1st fix for 2 years. Dewalt is good for new wood but
weak for dry old victorian pine. Any advice are welcome.
which one do you prefere? milwaukee or hitachi? i have the milwaukee and i like it, but looks the hitachi is better system in my opinion
Ozito hammer drill is the best bang for buck you can buy hands down.
good video thanks
what were your thoughts on the milwaukee gun ? ive been contemplating on getting it, but i wanna know what other tradies thoughts on the gun are first...
I love your videos! I find myself sometimes just saying out loud "Scott Brown here" with the fancy accent! I noticed the subtitles can't understand well when you're saying DECK, it thinks you're talking about some other kind of woody. Keep up the great videos and good spirit :)
These videos make me glad that "we're not allowed that here" isn't a commone phrase for me
Why the hell don’t we have hardcases for our nailers stateside? Going to send an email to Milwaukee 😜
Had no idea you guys had nail gun restrictions too
What's with the pink lumber?
Moisture Meter - always line the pins up with wood grain - you should get a different reading....love your channel.
"I don't miss the paslode very often, but when I'm doing things like that, I do - it's heavy!" - that comment carries a lot of depth and meaning for a small sentence. I guess it's only a matter of time before DeWalt bring out a new better gun than their current toy one that is near useless. A friend frames with the Hitachi and has the bradder too, I will chuck him this vid and see what he has to say :-)
And crippled local model for the nanny state, another good tip - parallel imported goods, FTW :-D
No bump firing..... On the plus side no coronavirus either! 👍
It will be interesting to see how long the aircharge lasts compared to the hikoki. I had to send in my hitachi aka hikoki in after only 8 months to get the gas recharged.
You can refill the hikoki yourself
@@levro7367 yes you are correct! Subscribe for more of my videos like these!
How’s the Milwaukee framer going? Will you get to try the finishing nailer too?
