Have you ever had a framing gun mishap? Share the story here!
Tried and tested, we own 3 of these and 8 paslodes.
Every carpenter likes the paslode better.
Also after a couple years, the Milwaukees have all been sent back for repairs twice.
They work well when they’re new but start to get weaker over time.
Paslode is still # 1
The paslode guns are great. Half the weight. $20 in gas to fire 1,000 nails really adds up though
Great review, thank you so much for all the detail. No BS just straight information.
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
Also really good at shooting through 👍.. you're killing it brother 👏 🙌 awesome job man
Hey thanks for all your support. Appreciate you!
Great review! Like the humor.
Thanks 👍
Best review I’ve seen yet on the Milwaukee framing gun. Great job and thanks for taking the time to share the vid.
Thanks for watching :)
"The belt hook, it'll work in a pinch. If you're not wearing suspenders it'll pull your pants down and everyone will think you're a plumber."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nobody knows how to put the Allen wrench away 😂😂😂😂. They don't fall out, you're just putting the short side in. Put the long side in and you're good
Negative 30 degrees. Sir you're a BEAST
I dunno about all that. But thanks!
I'm not a fan of the paslode nails with the 30 but the 21 degree is awsome
What I would like to know is how long they last with very minimal use DIY wise. Do the seals break allowing it to leak over time or do they hold up very well with odd job usage. I'm hoping to get at least anywhere from 5-8 years out of it with very little usage. I bought it as a convenience rather than going the way of pneumatic which would have been cheaper and lasted longer over time. I hear these fail after 6 months or less with heavy use so I went in knowing that much so that's no surprise. I realize that probably makes me an idiot for buying it, but like I said I wanted it as a convenience not having to deal with hoses, compressors, extension cords etc. The weight isn't an issue for me as I don't frame anything professionally and I have pretty strong arms. This is strictly DIY for small specific projects I have lined up that involve some framing.
Does Milwaukee have like a protective piece for the tip of the framing nailer,I think it is called non marring rubber,I am not sure what exactly the name is,so that the nailer's tip will not be eating into the surface of the wood being worked on.
Yes it does. I never use it though
Is there a real world difference between this and the 21 degree? I'm going to be building a shop this spring and need to decide which to buy.
There's tons of difference.
21 degree guns shoot full head plastic collated nails. You get plastic shrapnel, the nails cost a lot more and you can fit less nails in your gun so you need to reload far more often. There is a bit more variety in available nail types though. You'd want one of these if you were doing something like nailing down deck boards instead of using screws like a normal human being.
30 degree gun you have clipped head nails. They're cheaper and you can fit more in the gun. There's a little bit less options for nail types than the 21. They're also paper collated so no shrapnel but you'll fuck up your strips if you leave the box out in the rain. The angle also lets you get into more awkward places than the 21 degree does.
You can check your local building code to make sure it allows clipped head nails by going to your local home depot and seeing which ones they stock.
Pro tip. Fasteners are an often overlooked part of the cost of a build and can add up to a lot of money. Depending on your build 50% lower fastener cost could mean thousands of dollars.
@@toolaholicsanonymous Great description, people need to know clipped nails are the only way to rough frame.
@R Cook I think if I needed to use full head I'd rather run a coil gun
When I replace my Bostitch "gas" nail gun, I'm going to buy the 30 degree gun, and a 21 degree extended magazine. The 21 degree mag will fit on the 30 degree gun with some slight modification. Most of my work will be with the 30 deg mag, but it'll be nice to have the 21 deg option available.
1:45 haha I felt that
Can buy tool only for about 320 on sale with military discount if you have a place that takes it .
I have other Milwaukee tools that share the same batteries
Cool review !!
bare tool is always much cheaper but if you don't already have the batteries then buying the kit makes the batteries cheaper/
Up on a ladder a pneumatic with a air line can feel like a hundred pounds
Especially if it's hooked on something
It's a real shit gun, heavy a.f and crappy ergonomics. I'll stick with the tried and tested paslode gas nailer.
The paslode guns are really nice. They weigh half as much and shoot really well. Then you've gotta clean them regularly, they frost up in the cold and don't work, plus you spend $20 in gas for every 1,000 nails you shoot.
Nothing wrong with either option it just depends on what works best for you.
@toolaholicsanonymous fair call. In my climate we don't have that issue as it doesn't get very cold here. The cleaning is a fun task for me as I'm into mechanics.
@2loco I sometimes work in -35 degree weather. You gotta warm the batteries but the gun will still work. The cost of the gas doesn't seem like much but it really adds up
So, basically after 5 years you can throw it away, because they won't service it anymore for free and it HAS TO BE services, since it will become weak again.
You know you can pay to have tools serviced right? Also 5 years is pretty good when you're using a tool every day
@@toolaholicsanonymous I know that the cost of that service is almost same as buying a new one.
