No, I don’t, but I have a tone of the M12 tools, I am considering buying one to use for turntable plinths I build. I’ve been been watching videos on it for a few days now. May have to hit up the Local HD this weekend to see if they have them in stock.
@@johnbrewer2206 sounds like you’re a Milwaukee pro. I guess you’d be able to use your other batteries on the pinner so that’s cool. My local Home Depot has them in stock finally. It’s been forever that they didn’t stock them. Good luck with your purchase.
Thanks Steven. Glad to hear you like the follow up video. It’s a sweet gun. I’m sure you’ll love it. Too bad it’s not available in England. Crazy. Well I’m sure you’ll be the envy of all tradesmen in England after you get it.
I bought my dad one of these when it first came out in the us. It’s been great at everything until today. Now it won’t fire with nails in it or with the magazine closed. I’ve opened the top cover to inspect for a jam or a dropped striker. It seems like it’s stuck in the lock position and just makes a ratcheting sound
Thanks for the initial review, but more importantly the follow-up. I was debating whether to go with the M18 or M12 and this helped to decide what is best for me. I’m a hobbyist and do not need as much so I think this will do for me.
Great Video.. If you’re impressed with the M12 Pin Nailer you should check out their other tools, I’ve been super impressed with the M12 Fuel drill and impact than I’m all in on the M12 lineup. I’m getting this Pin Nailer next .. I have the Ryobi one, and it’s great, but I want to get on 1 battery platform so I’ll be selling my Ryobi Nailers
Thanks Nick for the information. I’ve heard great things about their lineup too. I always like it when viewers comment about their experiences. Thank you for watching also.
I was the same way Matt. Especially since I don’t have any Milwaukee cordless tools. But I was willing to add another brand to get this gem of a tool. It’s sweet.
You’re welcome Andres. Actually the last video I made, bad vs good quality woodworking- the worst kitchen ever, has me using it during the installation of my cabinets. I used it for all the trim on the cabinets. Check out the video. It’s awesome.
Hey Justin thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Great to hear you liked the video. As far as the cabinet, I don’t have any plans but that might be something I’d put together. I’ll try to do some measurements when I can. It’s big for sure. We’re on a road trip for awhile so I’ll do that when I come back.
Maybe someone knows how to repair them?, since we already have two of them and neither of them can shoot well, as if we don’t have the strength to finish the nails.
Glad you did a follow up video on this as I watched when you first got it and have been wondering what you would think of it. Looks like it had performed really well
No never. Only if I have the gun set at an angle when firing. Or of course if it’s set to not sink. But the battery dies before it doesn’t sink. Truly it’s a fantastic tool. I just used it for a job where I fired enough to kill a fresh battery and not one didn’t sink.
You made it really hard to see the size of the pack. 1.5Ah in the end by freeze framing stepping through it. IMO battery life is a moot point if you can charge one faster than you can consume it. I don't even own a 1.5, only 2, 3, 4, 6 :-)
Oh and yes if you can charge faster than discharge, you’re in good shape for sure. However I only have one battery. The one that came with the kit. Sounds like you have a lot. I’ll have to add another just as a backup.
You said "the littler one, not the bigger one" which to me meant 2Ah. I didn't even know there was a 1.5. You also made another comment earlier in the video but that one was unclear too due to messed up sentence structure. Good video except not making the *EXACT* size super clear at at least one point. Just feedback, don't take offence.
@@fredio54 not taking offense. This video was a follow up video from the first one. If you watch the first video, I open up the gun from packaging and use it. So I guess most already know what battery it is. By the way I said it wasn’t even the 2 ah on this video. It was the smaller one. I think it’s pretty clear this battery is the size below a 2. I stress that it’s the smallest battery that made it so impressive.
Loving it. Seriously. It’s really a great tool. I use it more and more. And each time I’m thinking how great it is. Not one jam or misfire. Everything sinks.
My next tool purchase. Been using an older Dewalt brad nailer for small jobs and realize this pin nailer would have been more appropriate. The Dewalt is a tank compared to the Milwaukee.
IMO I think TTi really changed the game with their nailers at least after they learned from their mistakes on the first gen nailers. Milwaukee still needs to update their finish nailer though.
@@ProxyFinal oh. Got it. I don’t own many tools that they make I guess. Just a couple Milwaukee ones. Cool to know. Thank you. I hope that this tool continues to impress me. It’s great so far.
The makita is not going to be used anymore. Simply put. I’ll sell it. Or use as absolutely emergency backup. I can’t rely on it at all. Too many jams and doesn’t sink well. It’s really the worst makita tool I’ve owned. So glad I have this one.
@@davidbryanwoodworksandmore thanks for that. I have the Makita and I like it, the only problem with it is the pins will slide back in the magazine and not pick up the next pin. I may have to get the Milwaukee.
@@davids8493 if you have the original makita 18 v you’ll be happy you switched. But maybe yours is better than mine. Mine is very disappointing. Milwaukee for the win. Lol.
Do you mean not setting it deep enough when it’s shot into wood? No. Never. Have you adjusted the depth adjustment. I’ve never had this happen. Not with hundreds of nails.
Thanks so much John. Ryobi pinner is good I’ve heard, but I’d say go Milwaukee for this if you can get it. Might be a little harder to find but worth it. I use grex pins.
Looks like you keep pulling the trigger… does it not have an auto mode where you pull the trigger once and it automatically shoots a pin when the nose is depressed??
No auto mode. That would be extremely dangerous on this type of gun. As it doesn’t have a nose guard that gets depressed before it fires. Hope you liked the video.
23 gauge Pins are smaller for less noticeable holes. They are great for mouldings or just all around light holding while glue sets up. Larger 18 gauge Brads are good for holding without the need for glue if you don’t want to use it.
Questions.... can it hold 2 racks of nails? Does it seriously use all the nails up without keeping those straggler few like most nailers? If so, that's so nice. EDIT: Last one, you get any jams from this?
trevor it holds 1 rack of nails and it does have a dry fire lockout so you dont dry fire. i think four pins are left in it. but those are left nicely inside without getting loose in the tool. makes for easy reloading. ive not had 1 jam. the nailer is great. seriously.
Man I’ve been eyeing this darn thing since it came out. Still trying to find a good deal on it though before I buy it. 😂 Thats one little beast. Good to know it’s working out so well.
@@noslen8258 Unfortunately I bought a tool only from eBay for around the same price just about almost a month soon and I saw a kit today for even less on sale. Mad at myself right now. Should’ve waited but I just didn’t want to wait because I figured that was a good deal and I already have a lot of batteries.
John that really stinks. I can only imagine how upsetting it must be. Not just with this tool but others as well. Hopefully you’ll get it soon. Or a version. I used the grex at the awfs and it was really cool too. But too loud for my liking. It fires 2” 23 gauge. It’s also expensive.
It’s also the way the tool works. Really it’s sweet. I don’t know what they did to make it work so well when most all other 23 gauge cordless pinners have failed. Kudos to Milwaukee.
Am i the only one who had bad experience with this nailer? I bought it 4 times returned 4 times none would set nail consistently flushed. Even a 1 inch nail on pine were proud at times.
Interesting for sure. I’ve not seen any of that. Especially with 4 times changing guns. Seems like depth setting maybe wrong. I’m sure that’s not it but I can’t believe this is happening for any other reason. Weird.
@@jonpg28 mine has been great at sinking everything but it just stopped working today. It makes a ratcheting sound after about 8 months of light (birdhouse) use
Mine is like brand new used for only 1 small job, then all of a sudden every 1-3 shots it jams I'm gonna re turn it, I went back to peunamtic way better finish...
Biggest piece of junk I ever bought, after four months it had to be sent in to be repaired, they jam all the time if you’re trying to shoot into anything harder than marshmallows they jam every time
Oh wow. That’s not at all what I’ve experienced. I never have had one jam. Not once. Ive driven thousands of nails into hard maple oak beech you name it. Crazy about yours. Man. That sucks.
@@davidbryanwoodworksandmore what makes it worse is because I don’t carry my compressor. after I sent that in I bought another one even though I couldn’t believe I would after the problems I had , but it jams up just like the first one. I’m talking sometimes after five nails at the most and I’ve used three different kinds of pins it’s always the same.
@@davidbryanwoodworksandmore Well to make it worse I just sent mine in about a week ago to be repaired because the hammer wouldn’t fire and against my better judgment I bought another one because I am completely cordless. The second one brand new does the same thing and now I got the original one back and it does it the same as far as jamming but at least it fires now, and I have used three different kinds of pins , Now that’s what doesn’t make sense
Wow great video, and thanks for taking the time to do that, man 600+ off one of the 1.5ah batteries is impressive!
Thanks man. Yeah it is pretty impressive. I’m blown away. Do you have one?
No, I don’t, but I have a tone of the M12 tools, I am considering buying one to use for turntable plinths I build. I’ve been been watching videos on it for a few days now. May have to hit up the Local HD this weekend to see if they have them in stock.
Have you played with the M12 circular saw? Paired with one of the finishing blades are equally as impressive for finish work.
@@johnbrewer2206 sounds like you’re a Milwaukee pro. I guess you’d be able to use your other batteries on the pinner so that’s cool. My local Home Depot has them in stock finally. It’s been forever that they didn’t stock them. Good luck with your purchase.
@@johnbrewer2206 no I’ve not ever used a cordless trim saw besides my old 9,6v makita back in college.
Loved the test, I'm getting one now, not available in England yet so buying from America
Thanks Steven. Glad to hear you like the follow up video. It’s a sweet gun. I’m sure you’ll love it. Too bad it’s not available in England. Crazy. Well I’m sure you’ll be the envy of all tradesmen in England after you get it.
I contacted Milwaukee uk and they said they have no plans to sell in the uk. Why crazy. So I’m doing the same good old USA.
Fantastic video. Just picked up a used middle. I'll keep you updated.
Best cordless pin nailer out! I never had a jam since I’ve used mine. Great video
I’m glad to hear your good experience with it as well. So far mine hasn’t jammed either. Or miss fire. Simply awesome.
Good review. I have this but have not used it yet. Will do so today.

Funny. Me too and to clean out dust from tools. It’s nice to have cordless tools for sure. Thanks for watching.

Hey Guy. Yeah it’s nice. Really couldn’t be happier. Thanks for watching Guy.
Have you ran across the pin nailer not sinking the nails? I have a full battery but doesn't seem to have the fire power it needs. Thanks
No never. Only if I have the gun set at an angle when firing. Or of course if it’s set to not sink. But the battery dies before it doesn’t sink. Truly it’s a fantastic tool. I just used it for a job where I fired enough to kill a fresh battery and not one didn’t sink.
