The cordless choice is very common in the uk I’ve not been on site seeing anyone use compressor tools (I assume it’s just a USA thing) I’ve owned Milwaukee all my work life never missed a beat. With the battery wobble all the tools I’ve owned have it apart from the mitre saw I assume it’s a safety drop feature so it doesn’t crack the housing or the battery pins
I just bought this to install pressed tin ceilings in an old farmhouse I just bought. Can’t wait to see how it feels working overhead. It’s not light, that’s for sure, but more importantly I’m hoping for no misfires. Don’t want to ding the tin.
I had this nailer for 2 weeks , the first one jammed right out of the box , the second lasted for 2 weeks , miss shoot, nail holes are a disaster and the weight is another issue. Last thing was the the nailer jammed 4 times at the same window , shoot 2 nailes at a time and then jammed, and got stuck and didn’t work , this nailer didn’t work with with Bostitch nailes only with porter cable and passload, i took it back and got my self a dewalt brushless 18 gauge , what a difference, nail holes are small and the light weight plus it works with all nailes from different companies. It’s comes to about 50$ less for the dewalt. I know that there is a lot of people saying it’s a good nailer , i wouldn’t. Dewalt in my opinion is way better than Milwaukee for these reasons that I mentioned before . Stay a way
Does anybody know what manufacturers brad nails work in this unit? I tried finding Milwaukee brand nails but could only find staples. I find it odd that Milwaukee has a huge platform of cordless nailers but does not manufacture their own.
The weight of a cordless nailer for a carpenter using it all day is NO DISSADVANTAGE because you become accustomed to the tool. It's like saying that a framer should use a 12oz hammer instead of a 20oz hammer that is designed for framing. How can the work light be good when its positioned at the rear of the nail strip throwing a shadow over the business end of the gun.- that makes no sense. Comparing the weight of a cordless nailer to a pneumatic nail gun is irrelevant, the comparison should include the hose and the compressor as well seeing as they are part of the tools required. I would much rather carry a cordless nailer around all day rather that move a compressor and trip over the hose which is always underfoot. The cost comparison also doesn't hold water. Milwaukee or other brand nailer- $400, Compressor, hose and air nailer-$400 PLUS. Just sayin.....
100% better then the first generation nailer. However, if you're trimming all day, nothing beats a pneumatic. Where this shines is if you only need to do one or two rooms. A couple door casings etc. Nothing beats it.
@@lucky1206 Lowe's is definitely not better with their terrible website, customer service/return policies and meh power tool brands. Lowe's doesn't even carry the best Dewalt stuff and Dewalt is the biggest/most popular brand in their store, by far. Depot gets Tough System, Flexvolt/Flexvolt Advantage & even carries all their highest end tools on their website. Plus they've got pretty much all of Makita and Milwaukee's stuff as well. That's the 3 best brands all in one store/website. Home Depot has the best power tool deals/promotions 95% of the time too. And with their pro-rated returns they let you return anything you really don't want for some of your money back. Lowe's makes you return everything. Haven't bought a Lowe's promo in almost 3 years because none of them are really ever worth it. Plus Menards is better than both for building materials anyways.
@@lucky1206 sorry but home Depot is considerably more elite. Ridgid, Milwaukee heck even Ryobi, diablo blades, heck I could go on. Kobalt and craftsman are not a good reason to come to a store..

Have had one for about 6 months now and hasn't missed fired yet, almost daily use.
I have mine about the same time have to agree use it all day today only used half of the battery charge.
Does anybody know what manufacturers brad nails work in this unit? I tried finding Milwaukee brand nails but could only find staples. I find it odd that Milwaukee has a huge platform of cordless nailers but does not manufacture their own.
Is there a Milwaukee model number for this review?

That's what it looks like. I don't like home depot. It reminds me of Walmart...a Walmart of building materials. Lowe's is better

@@jaywelker5566 not to mention Lowe's don't carry Diablo blades, or ridgid just that alone makes Lowe's the lesser of the two.
@@lucky1206 Lowes is easily worse than the Deeps.
