Painter here. I know right ? I puddied bathroom remodels behind rookie carpenters with nail guns and counted 60 nail holes in a window frame !

This nailer is the bomb!! I had Senco cordless before this along with DeWalt, this Milwaukee nailer always drives very consistent, absolutely no regrets at all. The other big tool companies have some work to do to catch up!!

Bags are abundant! Hard custom fit cases are priceless.

Yup, hard blow molded/inaction molded cases are far superior. I have ONE tool in a bag, the Milwaukee M12 impact and hammer drill, and the bag is always getting sawdust caught inside it, the tool I want is at the bottom, it doesn't offer very much protection, and I can't immediately see if everything is present. And that's a very small bag. I couldn't imagine a larger one. With a plastic case, I can dump out the saw dust, blow it out with air, or spray it out with a house. The tools all have their place and I know everything is where it should be. All the tools are easily accessible. And the plastic cases are near indestructible.

YES! I just used the Gen one last week. Where as I loved it for not carrying cords or hoses. The body was a lot larger, the shoe was huge and had the 45 deg stop on the left side. which made it akward putting up crown on my right side. I had to hold it backwards and pull with my pinky. From the looks of it is go with gen 2, good video! Thanks

I bought one because I did all of the flooring in my house, new molding and such. This thing was super easy to use and quite frankly overkill if you don't have a large project or series of them. I used this on so many more things than I thought. I redid a bunch of furniture and really liked it to stage before I set up heftier hardware.

Nice to know, I’m returning a dewalt 6 gal compressor kit, and thinking of getting this and not deal with the hose, I won’t be doing major work but I’m sure I can use it on other things.

I've thought about upgrading from my Craftsman C3 Brad nailer to this milwaukee Gen 2 nailer. Thanks for the video Vince 👍

I own this brad nailer and it is utterly fantastic. Not having to pull out a compressor every time I need to install some trim or whatever I need my brad nailer for is fantastic. This thing just WORKS.

Thanks for doing these videos, not sure if you know how much they help but they do. I can't afford to make mistakes when purchasing tools at these price points and you've helped me make an informed decision so many times... Rock on

I bought the Craftsman cordless brad nailer and have loved it. $180 for the gun, 1 battery and charger and it has worked flawlessly after 2k+ nails. Have had it for a month but I dont carry my pneumatic brad with me in my tool trailer anymore.

I shopped around and found a deal on a Packout case, and then bought that and the bare tool. Then I found the M18 impact driver kit that I needed, which came with two batteries and a charger and a hard case. Took a few days but it was worth the time to save some money and get exactly what I wanted. Very happy with both tools.

Would be nice to see them sell nailer kits in a PackOut box. Multiple nailers. Maybe spot for multi-tool.

First let me say, love watching your videos, great information and keep them coming. I Just purchased this nailer as a bare tool 👍💪🏼 all the way, so glad I waited for the Gen II. Consistent power and nail depth control with every trigger pull. I did have a nail jam, was very easily and quickly removed. Tool is fairly lite and very easy to use. Great site view on the tip and I was also impressed that it came with two additional nail tips that also store on the tool, very cool! I ran it with a 3.0 compact all day and only used 1bar. I definitely like the fact that it will stand when the battery is in and also a huge fan of the tool-belt hook. I highly recommend this tool if you do finish carpentry and your looking to start leaving the compressor and hoses at home.

I prefer hard cases as well. That’s my only thing I don’t like about Milwaukee lately is soft bags for everything

I have this gun and I love it. I only use the hard tip though cause the soft tip is too soft and it will roll out of the way a little bit and allow the striker to come in closer to the material and change your depth setting. I do use the multi shot quite a bit for putting in filler pieces where I need them and it works really well just bouncing the gun, its not as fast as a pneumatic but the time you save just grabbing the gun, nails and a battery makes up for that. Ive only had 1 jam in the year and a half that owned mine and it was an issue with a nail and not the gun. Other than that, money well spent for me. Its paid for itself 3 times over. I'm waiting for a gen2 15 gauge and the new 23 gauge. Once I have those I wont need a compressor for most of my everyday work. I only have a siding gun and framing nailer that I still use air for and if I'm breaking those out on a job its because I have a lot of nails to drive and a battery framing gun just isnt going to cut it.

I love Milwaukee! I have been using pneumatic guns for years and super excited that Milwaukee has one now that will let me toss the hoses! Now to justify purchasing another tool - I have a sea of "red" tools already LOL but you can never have enough tools, right?! ;-)

Just ordered mine and can't wait! Been wanting to replace the paslode and havent seen anything worth it until this! Hope it's good as they say!

Great tools and great presentation, Thanks

Have most of my power tools in a bag, some of the hard cases like the one for the electric planer are huge and take up way to much space. However some power tools like my hand router I do keep in the box so spanners and bases don't go wandering.

Thanks for the great video. Bought the m12 drill driver combo a few months back and love them. I’m going to get this next. I kind of like the bag though. If I want to brink a couple of tools I not lugging around a bunch of separate cases. I’ll just use the biggest one and throw them in together. It is a nice bag also.

Also, think the softbag versus a hardcase allows for more storage of select sizes of brads. For example, most hard cases only leave enough room for MAYBE (1) 1500ct box. So I actually dig the larger bag. Plus it's just going in the job box.

I'm with you on the hard cases. I prefer all my tools to have hard cases with proper spots for everything. Easier to put tools away and i feel the hard cases are easier to pack away and whatnot. Great video!

Porter Cable’s bn200v12 cordless brad nailer from 2003 is the greatest brad nailer nobody’s heard of. It’s a hybrid cordless/pneumatic so if the battery dies you can hook up and air line to it like a regular brad nailer. The battery pack runs a tiny 12v compressor built into the back end of the gun so the front part is the same size as a standard brad nailer. I’ve been using mine all week installing trim and absolutely love the thing.

I have the 18g and I love it. Of course did some research before purchase. Close to 300 dollars but it was worth it. Recommend it. Tools are meant to use and abuse. If they work then you keep buying the same brand. I use Makita and Milwaukee. Very dependable.

I Have had this tool for a long time and have never had a jam not once Great tool well worth the money

I have my drill in my standard toolbox and since I use most of my other tools maybe 1-2 times per month I have them in their various soft bags with their various attachments and consumables. It works well, need to use a specific tool, just grab the bag and I have everything I might need when I use that tool

I like the bags for the purpose of putting fasteners specific to the tool in the bag with the tool. And any tools specific to the job you'd use that tool for

I bought gen 1 and shortly after gen two came out. I wasn’t to thrilled with the gen 1 but Milwaukee actually exchanged mine for the gen 2 I had to pay maybe 35 dollar difference. But I’m very happy with the gen 2 they really worked the kinks out of it from gen 1. Better than pneumatic? Ehhh I’m not sure about that but it’s close. Thanks for the video Vince!

Are you seriously trying to compare a craftsman to a milwaukee ?

I'm hoping in 2019-20 they start offering packout cases like they started with the accessories.

Just a note: The tool does NOT use a bladder or a air cylinder like other nailers (Ryobi air strike for example). It uses a permanently sealed cylinder that is pressurized with nitrogen gas. Took mine apart and was not able to see much else, it seems as if the striker is always under pressure from the gas and then it is released and retracted by the brushless motor. However I could be incorrect, it could also be using some sort of valve system to redirect the gas in front of and then behind the piston to fire the striker.

I've been using this same tool for 3 weeks . I borrowed it from my nephew in law lol. Hopefully he forgets I borrowed it ! I live this m18 Brad nailer ! Used it on some sophet, and door trim and I'm shocked at how secure these tiny brads actually hold.

I do flooring and I have been switching to m18 and m12 and love it

I love mine! And it certainly fires more then fast for finish

I bought one for flooring install. Works great. Love it.

I had a V1 a while back. Switched to an older flywheel type bostitch 18g. It feels closest to all my bostitch pneumatics. What I didn’t like about V1 Milwaukee, and of hitachi (same mechanism) was the recoil back into you’d hand. It gets old after a while. Besides I’m fine with ramp up time as I don’t shoot 3 nails per second on finish work anyways. How is the recoil of the version 2?

As a trim carpenter trimming multi family, we need a fast firing nail gun. I have gen 1, but they had alot of things that needed improved. I prefer hard cases over bags

Huge improvement over the Gen 1. Every 3-5 nail would be proud. No matter the setting. And larger and more akward. May have to give this one a go.

I have the Ryobi 18 v compressor and love it with my short hose and brad nailer. This Milwaukee is nice but I can even plug in my Framing nailer for a small punchout item too with the compressor. I just can't see investing in Milwakee until they come out with all the tools I can utilise with the Ryobi 18 volt line.

I have a portable brad nailer but I can't completely throw my pneumatic one away because of the size difference. I do use the portable one much more often but it's considerably larger and I have been forced to go old school on occasion when there just isn't enough room to use the portable style.

I would like to see a follow-up in the dead of winter when you take the gun out of a cold truck to start work. Both my Ryobi and Gen1 Milwaukee refuse to fire at all when ice cold.

I've used dewalt and Milwaukee. Ramp up is definitely a non issue for the Dewalt, it shoots plenty fast. Really same as pneumatic. Nail placement is more accurate than the Milwaukee. I used a gen 1 and that made me go with Dewalt. Pneumatics are way more accurate in nail placement and accessibility in tight spots. Still bat tool does most applications.

@mlindholm

4 жыл бұрын

​@@stevenfoust3782 The lack of ramp-up on this and the Dewalt is because of how they work. On the Milwaukee, there's a sealed gas cylinder in the front. When you pull the trigger, it's using that pressure to instantly drive the nail, that's why there's no ramp-up time. After the nail is driven, the motor runs to shove the striker/piston back into the cylinder, pressurizing the gas above it, and a catch holds it up, ready to be released for the next shot. The Dewalt uses a flywheel, that when the tool is active, is spinning and has energy waiting and ready to drive a nail. From completely off (quiet), to driving a nail, there is a bit of delay though. Not sure if it uses a motion sensor, or if you need to pull the trigger when not on the workpiece to get it going. That's also why it's not affected by temperature, unlike the Milwaukee (gas cylinder pressure isn't as high in the cold), or any of the on-demand pneumatic ones like the Ryobi, Ridgid, etc.

I’m at the Home Depot looking at this thing next to my ridgid 18ga. Milwaukee is just 6.1 pounds and ridgid just 3 pounds. If you’re replacing a door or remodel a kitchen or bathroom, the battery nailers is more convenient but using this 6.1 pounds all day on delicate trim is not easy to be precise.

I prefer the hard cases, but I will say there are some advantages to the bags. For example, I bought the M18 fuel supersawzall kit and have been able to fit both the kit contents plus my gen 1 sawzall, 7 m18 batteries, and several blades.

A husky bag isn't any less prone to being stolen. If you leave a bag, branding or not, somewhere where it can be stolen, it will be. You leave a bag in your car and it's unbranded, and a thief comes along, he's going to steal it regardless.

Hard cases go straight to the landfill anyway. They're more expensive, bulky, and inconvenient to access. If you must cut costs somewhere (and you do) this is hardly the worst place to cut them. Sort tools by task into toolbags and put all the tool bags into a Rubbermaid tote. You can carry the whole shebang into the house and cut down on trips out to the van.

Hard cases for life! ✊🏼😤 Hard cases have always been a major deciding point for me when buying any tool new.

Hard cases are 💯% better then bags. Cases can usually be locked. Even though that only keeps honest people out, it is still a nice feature. You can even use zip ties, just to make sure that everything is inside and nothing has been “borrowed” or removed. You can ad foam to cases to keep tools from moving around and getting banged up or scratched. Soft bags, are basically for transportation not storage. I think Milwaukee has done this on purpose, so that people will purchase their PACKOUT storage containers.
