I’ve had a few different brands of 15-gauge angled nailers but got rid of them, preferring pneumatic ones. I picked up the Milwaukee 15-gauge Gen II for hanging doors since the air hose often gets in the way. The Milwaukee works very well, though I still prefer the size and weight of pneumatic nailers. However, for doors, the Milwaukee is my preferred choice.
What I love about Milwaukee is they are always looking to improve. They listen to their customers. Although I don’t have any of their power tools as I’ve been on the Makita platform for years and couldn’t afford to change now I do love their hand tools and packout systems
Has been my best purchase as far as tools go in the last few years, 23g all the way up to 16. Loving Milwaukee’s gear. Great vid again guys, keep it up 👍🏻!!
2 years ago I was forced to but the 2nd generation 18 gauge nailer because I had a job and I needed the nailer right now and that was what they had in the store. I have bought the 23 & 15 gauge nailers for an upcoming job and I am hoping this is not a mistake
@@ryanhill2348 thank you for the quick response. Always been running the 15Ga nailers and have the Gen I 15Ga but I’m leaning towards the 16Ga and using the paslode nails to replace my Gen 1 15Ga.
Im glued to my cadex 23ga. I think they have patent protection still. It can shoot 23ga headed brad nails up to 2 1/2". The nails are pretty strong too, feels like stainless steel. The only down side is trying to pull them, they often break... Way better holding power vs a headless pin! Bummer it needs an air hose though... This m18 15ga nailer is hot on my list. Might be a today thing, if not in a couple weeks.
I currently own and use Gen 1. Everything you’ve mentioned is true. I’ve learned to set the nail depth to just above the surface and manually setting the nail afterwards. This left a clean hole but added time to the install. Next time there’s a promo, I’ll definitely replace my Gen 1!
Ive had the GenII brad nailer some time. Its great! I have the GenII 15ga coming in the mail, your review gives me confidence that i made a good purchase.
Thanks Rob for the updated info. Definitely going to grab them when they're available. I used the gen 1 16 gauge on a trim job in a million dlar house and was annoyed by the big shoe on that nailer. I used the gen 2 18 gauge nailer quite a bit on that job as well. I loved the small nose on it.
I think Milwaukee 23 and 18 ga gen2 nailers are the best battery nailers. 23ga is probably the best pin nailer I ever used, battery or pneumatic. It's just so hard to find a great pin nailer that's not finicky with some nails. My theory is that tolerances are so tight at such a small size, that I think even within brand you can get variations and gun can perform better or worse depending on how lucky you get. I've had that pin nailer for about half a year now and I don't think it jammed on me once yet.
Great review. Really appreciated you being so thorough listing all the improvements. I brushed this newer gun off because it just seemed like it was gen 1 with improved tip and I already have DeWalt 15ga which has my favorite tip so far. Boy was I wrong and will be sure to check it out when I get the chance!
I been eyeing the Milwaukee for a while and I am heavily invested in the red for about 70% and 30% the yellow brand , but I went with the yellow and never regret it, right off the shelf the red was cumbersome and heavy vs the dewalt, of course the dewalt comes with its own annoyances like the winding noise but overall I found I can maneuver easier with the dewalt than the Milwaukee ( too much plastic and bulkiness) both will do the job no doubt, thank you for the reviews , you are the best reviewer when it comes to tools
@@ConcordCarpenter does the 16ga Gen II angled nailer accept the paslode nails? They’re the best 16ga nails available so that’s the deal breaker for me.
I was looking at the Metabo but it was to much like handling a 7lb brick at the end of your arm. Great review you really helped me make up my mind. Home Depot has it for $359 with my Military Discount. I hope they don't still have the gen I still floating around. That would stink getting the wrong one.
Great video and you made a very good point talking about overload. Never on a job site have I seen someone machine gun style driving nails and it bugs me when some tool "reviewers" are speed nailing on auto mode. Maybe a roofer will want to fully auto drive nails time to tim e but I've never seen that done on a finish nailer. Its ok to say the gen 1 was garbage, my old man has been maker for many years and the gen 1 made him give up on cordless nailers, but trying this new gen 2 its more pneumatic like. In a shop we'd both still prefer air for size mostly but on a job site or a quick fix the cordless are great.
We’re now starting to see , decent battery only finish nailers . I’ve always, sometimes reluctantly bought Paslode, which are great nailers but expensive to run , but inconsistent through the winter months. Looking forward to a UK 🇬🇧 release date . And finally lay my Paslode to rest .
Is there a real need for the 16g vs the 15g nailer? I have the 18g 1/4 stapler and the 18g nailer and just added the 23g nailer to my system. I plan to wrap up my kit with the 18g framer 30 degree but want to get the 15ga first. Which I think is more practical. Do you agree I should take this step because its better or do you have a different option I haven’t considered?
Nice review, I liked everything about the nailer except the tip. Always been a die hard paslode user but they just don't deliver in oak and ash like the milwaukee does.
Good video. I always appreciate your channel because you go through it from a contractor, actual-use perspective. One thing I didn't see is if the new lower pressure can still fire through deep, solid hardwood pieces. Did you and your crew try any shots through solid 2" oak just to see if anything got left proud?
Those who have used these and the yellow alternative: I’ve already got a couple DeWalt batteries and a charger. Think it’s worth it to invest in a new platform to go with the Milwaukee?
Im looking to get a 18 ga brad nailer im on Ridgid and Milwaukee platform ive been checking out Ridgid clean drive but im still not sure. Im looking for very clean holes since i install trim that has already been finished, painted etc. Actually one of the contractors wants me to use 21ga. Any advice?
I agree with you on Milwaukee. I watched a recent video comparing Milwaukee, Dewalt and a third one I don’t recall, framing nailer…again, Milwaukee took the blue ribbon. If I wasn’t already Dewalted out, I’d go Milwaukee…will more like than not, replace the Dewalt with Milwaukee as the dewalts deep six.
Thanks for someone finally looking at what matters when looking at a finish nailer. The nail hole left. Does the 23 gauge nailer have the same updates to the striker pin? Does it give a clean hole too?
Great Video!! Super informative and detailed. If you had to choose between the 15 and the 16 gauge nailer, which one would you go for? This is my first finishing nailer. Thanks again.
My 18 gauge gen 2 nailer has developed some crunch noises after the initial punch. The zip noise is there, it sets the nail and then for like a half second there is a crunching noise. Hard to visually see a problem. Any ideas?
Have you noticed any loss in power from the nitrogen tank yet. Was just wondered how long this will last before a service Is needed iknow the old sencoslasted bout two hundred thousand pins before a refill
Hi Rob, I primarily sell real estate here in Hawaii but really love doing some remodeling and DYI stuff. I prefer the Milwaukee and Makita lines. I am probably split 80% between Milwaukee and 20% for Makita. I plan on purchasing a framing nailer and a pin nailer later on, but would love to start with the Brad finish nailer now. If you were to choose just one brad finish nailer, which one would you recommend? Thanks in advance!
I‘m not Rob, but I can tell you I bought the gen2 brad nailer from Milwaukee and I‘m more than happy with it. Performance is great, accuracy is a blast. Idk about the Makita, but I would guess both of them are definitely worth their money. If you don’t use it too often and for smaller works, maybe also check out the Milwaukee 12V line. They perform great and there is a huge range of tools you can get in 12V ✌️😎 Happy remodeling!
Awesome review Rob? Do you think this nailer would have issues face nailing 3/4 hardwood flooring? I've struggled with the previous models to get those nails to sink in all the way and not jam. Whats your opinion?
As a left handed person milwaukee doesn't take many things into consideration for other tools like the framing nailer and its hooks which arent switchable
Seems to be a running theme with Milwaukee, Gen 1 isn’t very good, after a year or two, they release Gen 2, which is almost perfect, then Gen 3 comes out, and it’s almost stupid to not buy it. In my opinion, that’s what makes them a great brand, and while I’m a DeWalt fan at heart, I’m beginning to become a DeWaukee fan.
I run Hikoki nail guns that are air filled. If they lose pressure my local tool shop can re fill them easily and back to work. The same shop repairs Milwaukee too. If one of their nail guns comes in with lost nitrogen pressure you have two chances. If still under warranty the whole gun is replaced. If out of warranty the gun is written off and you need to purchase a new gun. They can't re pressure them. This may be possible in the States I don't know but is a deal breaker for me here.
I asked Milwaukee they said: - The statement made by the commenter is not at all accurate per any of our service or warranty policies. In fact, a big reason that they are not user serviceable (i.e. nailers need to be sent to Milwaukee for piston/striker/cylinder service) is to ensure that when they are serviced and re-pressurized that it is being completed correctly, to the proper pressure, to ensure service quality. If the tool requires re-pressurization, regardless of whether its within or outside the warranty period, that’s a service we can have the capability to complete and we do regularly as necessary. In some instances we’ll replace the tool entirely if the service parts required are not in stock. Obviously we try to avoid this situation, but it happens, and when it does we’ll replace the tool to ensure the customer isn’t without their tool for an extended period of time waiting on parts to be back in stock. Now I can’t speak to or dispute this individuals experience with their distributor. Based on his description, however, sounds like he may be working with a repair shop that isn’t an authorized service center for Milwaukee Nailers and he’s being given incorrect information. That shop does not have the ability to re-pressurize our nailers, but we absolutely have the capability to re-pressurize them within our service network globally. Hope this helps! ROB
@@ConcordCarpenter Hi Rob Like I said in my initial comment the re gas is probably available in US but I am in Australia. We struggle to get parts for most things and I can only go with what my tool repair shop can do. They are pretty much the only repair shop that does anything to these guns for miles that you would bother to go to and they can't do them. I have spoken to Milwaukee in America myself in the past with other issues and they tell me one thing but refer me back to Oz that tell me something different. In my opinion the fault lies directly with Milwaukee. They tell you they have global repair shops that can do all. No they don't. That is a lie. In Australia most repair shops do most brands if they can get the parts. They are not specifically trained in one brand but do their best with all. The only company I know that repairs its own is Hilti. Possibly if I lived in Sydney or Melbourne I may be able to get the re gas but I live in rural Qld and I am told they can't do it and throw the guns away. Fact.
These nailers are for small remodeling jobs. Max few hours a day. Even for a few hours a day they’re just heavy, bulky and out of balance. It’s just a pleasure to use my ridgid clean drive 18g after one of these monsters.
Any tool company that puts out a gen 2 in less than a year means they're garbage,dewalt has their gen 1 out for over 6 years and still don't have a gen 2 because they know what they're doing
