I’ve had mine for a little over three years I use it professionally still works. I bought my second one two years ago. It also still works. There are plenty of reviews on this gun. It’s an absolute tank a little heavy, but definitely well-built find a better review would be my suggestion. And as far as the service goes, Milwaukee offers a five year warranty, they pay for shipping both ways. The turnaround time is about seven days. So as far as making sure someone services it more bad information. If you have problems with your Milwaukee tools use the E service.
The 5 year warranty is unacceptable when it's not user serviceable and the air is guaranteed to leak out over time. The Metabo has a lifetime warranty AND is user serviceable. I had assumed the M18 used a completely sealed cylinder which is why it didn't have a service port, but no, it has one just like the Metabo but you can't access it unless you completely disassemble the tool. Imagine the cost of that service after your 5 years are up? The company that has a lifetime warranty lets you fill it yourself, the one with only 5 years requires you to send it in periodically to be refilled, I wonder why?
@@dcl97 Metabo offers a three-year warranty just like Dewalt and Makita so that’s not true. I’ll post a link with their warranty under this comment. And as far as servicing it yourself with air, it doesn’t take air in the cylinder it takes a type of gas. That’s why they don’t let you service it yourself.. That doesn’t make it not serviceable you can send any tool into Milwaukee and they will service it for you, or take it to one of their authorized service vendors. So just like the guy in this video you don’t know what you’re talking about. A warranty that is two years longer than their two closest competitors is unacceptable to you?
@@dcl97 and as far as the cost after five years, if you’re an actual professional, and you are making money off of your tools, and not just collecting them then you have made thousands and thousands of dollars off of that tool over the course of five years. We’re not talking about a $2000 tool here we’re talking about a $300 tool. If I can spend $300 on a tool and I am guaranteed five years to make money off of that tool for $300 and that thing goes out on the sixth year I’m OK with it. If you’re not making enough money off of a $300 tool in six years you need to reconsider what you’re doing. Like I said, we’re not talking about a $2000 tool here that’s expected a last lifetime.
I've had mine since they first came out, shot a million nails, framed so much with it, and it still works awesome with zero issues! No complaints whatsoever!
Regular air is 78% nitrogen, the removal of that bit of oxygen doesn't really mean much. Probably way more important that it's dry nitrogen with low water content.
I own two of these and have had them since they came out and have framed numerous basements and decks professionally. Had to have put a million Nails through each one of them.... just as powerful as the day I bought em. Stumbled across this video in my feed. Cool to see how it works. I definitely abused the heck out of mine dropping them off of high places here and there. Primarily they get stored in the packout system so they're pretty well protected but they definitely get the crap kicked out of them. I would not hesitate to buy another if I needed one!
I have both the Metabo HPT cordless framer & the tried & true paslode XP cordless framer. Both excellent guns. I use my paslode for work above the ground because of how light weight & maneuverable it is. The metabo is great for ground work because it’s a little heavier. The metabo just flat out works. The Paslode (which is my golden child even tho gas is expensive) needs regular maintenance but its extremely easy to do & is all around an excellent gun.. I do have multiple air nailers which get pulled a lot too but it’s just nice to go hoseless if you can get away with it.
i got the ryobi one because its just like the ridgid with the refill valve and i already had ryobi batteries. I looked really hard at the metabo but i didnt want to add more battery platforms. i feel that a way to refill should be standard.
I have one of these. i need to rebuild the whole thing including gearbox. i saw video recently on another channel about the firing mechanism. but it wasnt using nitrogen.
You’re lucky. I bought one to build my fence and it died after 30 minutes. And just like this guy said the Milwaukee guy i talked on the phone acted like he never heard of it happening and now i have to ship it back to Milwaukee and wait
Need to fiill it with the piston all the way extended. The Metabo has a service mode to get it into that position. How does one get the Milwaukee into that state?
I run the the 16g and the 18g crown stapler. The 16 has been a trooper, the crown stapler shat itself after a year, but had been absolutely thrashed on the job… new pcb & circuit board under warranty… time will tell.
The Ryobi has easy user access to the fill valve but you fill it with air rather than nitrogen which I question because of the water content in air. The fill value is 125 PSI and it has a relief valve to prevent you from over filling it. I'm retired so it will last me the rest of my life. I have that Dewalt you showed, I bought it in 2006.
Had mine a year now building my barndominium just took a shit on me today. Great video I hope they recall them so I don’t have to buy another nailer. Or give me another one I dont have my damn receipt.
I've had over 10 of these and have only had that happen to one. That's not what I hate about it. Their mags are crap. And the splines on the motor wear out and start slipping
shot about 50k nails through mine and only just starting to lose power and not fully sink 90s, waiting on a security torx bit to arrive to take it apart and recharge cylinder
I purchased this nailer about a year ago. Not used every day but has been worked hard until the thermal over load kicks in. Probably put about 5 boxes of nails through it. 2000 nails per box. Just recently it has started misfiring. Just a clicking sound like an internal switch operating but no firing. The fault seems to be intermittent also. I searched the internet before the purchase and no one had any reviews.
I've just had a 23 gauge pin nailer lose power over a year of heavy use. If I were milwaukee I'd make the gas port accessible from the outside. Getting access to a tank of pure nitrogen and a regulator is definitely within our abilities.
It's a sad part of modern-day trades. Tools don't last or junk from the start. We go thru a wide variety of cordless tools and to sit and wait for warranty work to be completed, costs money, and lost jobs. So what's a guy to do but buy spares cordless tools just to keep a guy working. I'm starting to think the tool companies should start a lease program where you pay a flat rate fee yearly for tools and when their tools fail you drop it off and grab another no questions asked.
When I bought my pneumatic powered Ridgid framing nailer in 2005 the manager at my local Home Depot said if I have any problems with it come back to the store & they'll swap it out with a new one while mine is getting fixed for free with their lifetime warrantee/free parts & service. All you have to do is register it. I just bought the Ridgid 21 degree brushless nailer on Ebay because I got a great deal on a new one in original box & a new in package 4ah battery for only $218.00 total with free shipping & taxes included. Just the nailer at Home Depot is $329 & they never go on sale unless you spend another $20.00 & get a 4ah battery & charger with it. So I saved about a 100 bucks but I don't get the warrantee for life deal because it has to be bought from an authorized Ridgid seller like Home Depot in order to register it. But you're right, it's a throw away society these days & it's actually planned like that on purpose in order for them to make more profits because a lot of times it costs almost as much or more to repair things nowadays! It's called planned obsolescence "(Planned obsolescence describes the practice of designing products to break quickly or become obsolete in the short to mid-term. The general idea behind this is to encourage sales of new products and upgrades, a practice that has been banned in some countries.)"😠
Sorry to hear about this man. It may not have stopped you working completely, but it's an annoyance. And it screws with your business. I was tempted on getting one for my work, but now you got me thinking twice. Was actually just looking at getting a ridgid/aeg one. It comes with the pump to fill it. So hopefully no sending it in for a service.
We have 3 dewalts, in eight months all three have been to the service center multiple times to be fixed (one has gone three separate times). We've given up on them.
Sorry to hear about your troubles, when you're using it to make a living, for sure down time hurts! I can't blame you for getting rid of it, if that's what you want to do. On another note, you could always keep it and do a long term test with it. I've got the same nail gun but I don't use mine to make a living tbh; light to moderate use, home DYI projects at most. Granted mine is only a month old and not surprisingly it works perfectly. How did you come across that Reduction Valve Set? it appears to be correct, I'd be interested in purchasing one for myself, just wanted to know if its the exact one needed. Thanks for making this vid, it was very insightful.
The builder we work with (I'm a sparky) has 6 at this point, they've had one for 3 years that has shot more nails than anyone cares to count is the only one that won't sink nails anymore.
I am a framer I have the 21 and the 30 degree I never have any issue had it for two years. Maybe it a fluke. Never had any product from Milwaukee fail on me thank god.
Can you help me please? I'm about to build my first house (i'm not a framer) and about to drop a chunk of cash on either 21 or 30 Milwaukee. Which is best for overall use like building garage, house, and shed. I know that the 21 will shoot a larger diameter head but other than that I'm not sure of the difference between the 2. Thanks ahead of time.
@@CrossroadToCountry 21 is the way to go. If you do nothing but framing. You can also buy a different clip for it as well you can switch it from a 21 to a 30 degree clip.
@@CrossroadToCountry In General, 21 Framers have always shot the nail harder or you may understand Drive the nail in better than 30. I own a Milwaukie 21, Its more like the old skool Paslodes that would sink nails. And the plastic does fly like tho old skool paslodes.. I have only bought 21 and coil framers in my 35 + years of high end residential carpentry. .
i own a Dewalt air nailer and have had plenty of problems with it also. It leaked air so I did an entire seal rebuild on it. Now there is something funky with the trigger but the shops nearby charge $70 just to walk in the door and diagnose the nailer...doesn't make much sense for a $200 nailer. My point is all brands go bad over time. Hopefully that is a long time. It looks like you rolled the dice and got a lemon with your milwaukee, but a lot of people seem to be really happy with them.
When I bought my pneumatic powered Ridgid framing nailer in 2005 the manager at my local Home Depot said if I have any problems with it come back to the store & they'll swap it out with a new one while mine is getting fixed for free with their lifetime warrantee/free parts & service.

Holy crap man. I've been thinking about buying the 30 Degree one with the extended mag. I'm glad I saw this and will be watching for more videos from other people about this issue.
I bought there 15 and 18 the 15 i only got to use 2 times and it broke still havent been able to get it fixed with 5 year warranty. The 18 guage has been the best gun somehow. Love that thing.
Having the same problem 6 months old so disappointed changed my whole outlook on milwaukee tools and i own a lot of them, nothing makes you more upset than saying let me spend the extra $$$ to get the bad ass one and have it take a crap so soon
I had bought mine 2weeks ago took it back to exchange it cus it had shoot one nail & that was it so exchanged it & the new one won't even turn on with a completely charged battery n nothing milwaukee is my brand so imagine my disappointment now that I have to get another brand nail gun 😫
PF-350S for the paslode. Air compressor I just use my old Bostitch CAP 2060 P Pancake air compressor. The paslode is still working great. So happy I returned the junky Lowe’s one. Good luck 👍
I’ve had mine about a year and I’m guessing about 10 000 nails and it is doing the same thing it doesn’t drive the nails in all the way love the gun it’s great apart from this issue now, I guess I’ll have to contact Milwaukee and see what they say…..
I've had one for about a month and I notice that "smell" still works fine probly put 2 boxes nails thru it,, only thing I found it doesn't like is a nail strip that's gotten moisture to the paper, then it'll bend one over halfway down the barrel into the wood
I feel your pain that's why I brought the rigid brushless framing 3 1/2" nailer they have a cover with a valve that after the 5,000 nails or so you can air it up to the 125 psi and no more because they have a pressure valve so the max is about 127 psi from what ive been able to fill with my Milwaukee 18v inflator. I've made a video of it if you're interested to see how it's made and the benefit of being able to refill. And the reason why I believe Ridgid did this is the LSA where if anything happens you send it in for service for life and they didn't want to fill nailers and waste time and resources. It makes sense Milwaukee with a 5 year warranty dewalt with a 1 year warranty says 3 but you really have to read the fine print. Also made a video about DeWalt warranty and why I left the platform as a whole. I had to pay 111.00 for a bad board you would think it was a defect but with impact wrenches the hard hitting jaring effect will loosen board components which the explained and was considered wear and tear. So they lost my business. But great video you have educated many who just don't know. Who do not have the time for hours of research and the major players in the tool community content maker's are promoting tools they have a script and to get paid they have to keep to the script. They actually have to send the video to be watched before they can publish it. So be careful with these major channels who are in it for profit not community!
Mine failed and lost pressures after the first 20 minutes of use. Now my fence project i bought it for is halted while i wait to send it back to Milwaukee. And just like you said Milwaukee rep acted like he never heard of that happening and didn’t seem to care at all. I been a Milwaukee customer for 20 years but this has me considering switching to Makita. Thanks for the helpful video. I definitely don’t trust this nail gun anymore
Hi I have successfully charged the air into my Milwaukee framing gon, the connector is 1/8NPT. I prefer to fully discharge the Nitrogen, then fully release the piston, and charge the air, In this case just need very little pressure like a flat bicycle tire. And I realized that's alright no matter it's nitrogen or just air.
I’ve had the 18g gun and I Notice when it starts losing pressure. I took it into my local service Center and they gave me a brand new gun. Only once did they actually refill the nitrogen for me. I use my gun constantly and every time I’ve taken it in they’ve handed me a new gun. There is a video of a guy in the UK who had taken it apart and filled it with normal air. I’m tired of taking it in all the time so I’m gonna try and refill it myself but you have to make sure the drive pin is extended before filling. I haven’t figured that part out yet. Metabo (hitachi) suppose to have access to the Schroeder valve so u can fill it yourself. It’s my understanding that Milwaukee bought Senco patent to be able to make these.
I've had to have many tools repaired by Milwaukee and never been told to take to a service center when under warranty. The down time is horrible and have been there but you should always have a back up solution even if it is the tried and true compressor, air hose, and gun. Also they have given me RTM to home depot before and just got a new one same day.
Refilling the pressure chamber is putting a bandaid on the problem. A rebuild kit would probably be in order, before pressurizing, or else it will just leak out again. BTW, that's not red loctite, that's cross treading or stripping the plastic.
First off all you needed to have is a PCP air rifle pump has the same fitting to fill it to 100 PSI, second all the motor does is spin that cog and push the anvil back against the air pressure in the tank and when you press the trigger it picks a Solenoid which releases the anvil and the pressure drives it to strike the nail. Simple as is..!!! LMFIAO PS. Even though it was originally filled with Nitrogen remember air is 78% Nitrogen so it should work fairly well except it may be more prone to drop pressure due to some smaller molecules like Oxygen.
i have the paslode, dewalt, senco trim and the Milwaukee i would say Milwaukee is the worst one, senco most reliable one, paslode the lightest one but I'm a not in the trade however i fix and mod tools as a hobby
I still use a Makita an924 air nailer and it runs all dam day. For a battery nailer I use RYOBI 15 gauge air nailer and it runs all day. I am just saying there are more brands that due the same job. 🤷🏽♂️
Metabo HTPs Battery Nailer is great. Alot less heavy. Doesn't replace a air nailer fully but sometimes having the hose is a problem or you only need to shoot one nail or two. Has the refill valve. They are gunna break down after a couple years, but its the cost of doing business. Metabo HTP prices are super reasonable. Love the Metabo htp framing nailer
Lowe's? That's your first mistake. The great thing about Milwaukee is that no matter where you buy it from, you will be buying the same model, no matter what.
That’s good to know dewalt had different models back in the day. I would have the secretary make sure she ordered the exact same model number so hopefully we wouldn’t get the cheaper model. I think the only thing I have seen with Milwaukee is brushless vs brush on different drills etc. That is nice if Milwaukee doesn’t play the game of box store has this model. Dealer has this model and online is even a different model number. I had to dig hard on UA-cam to find the paslode framing nailer from Lowe’s is not the same one that the professionals use. Sure is a bummer when you buy something and it doesn’t even make it a day but that’s the new norm I guess.
Had a seen your video I would not have bought mine. I do not like how hard it is to access for recharge. We have lots of Milwaukee in Milwaukee has been great for warranty, but I wanted a 20 year tool. Not a five-year warranty only tool.
I considered purchasing this nailer but after finding out it has a "sealed" Nitrogen canister I have decided not to. There is no such thing as a sealed canister as they will leak over time. Air would work but it has moisture in it an will condense on the inside so Nitrogen is a better gas from that standpoint.
God bless ya man, I feel your pain! I love Milwaukee Tools, but these companies act like everyone is made of money. I was thinking about buying one like this because I have the batteries and other tools, but after watching this video of yours I think I will pass. I have a Paslode 16 gauge cordless gun and the battery went bad, luckily the thing was still under warranty, so they shipped me one out, plus I had to buy cartridges for it also. Still works good though. Other than that I have used the Bostich air nailers with the 25' coil hoses, which has worked the best for me, so I am just going to stick with what I have been using. Peace!
I saw this video and still made my purchase , this is the only negitive review i seen and i think you just got a defective one . milwaukee in my book is top notch . can't just not buy one cuz of one bad tool that he got.
AGREE- I own 3 Milwaukee's , 18 Ga. Brad (1 yr old) 1/4 inch crown (1 yr old) and same framer (2 yrs old) . Stapler is in warranty getting refilled, Brad nailer I just got back about a month ago. Framer has not lost charge YET! Maybe cause Im a finish carpenter and don't use that much? But, I do not recommend any M18 nailers for the way they leave you hanging. Wish I knew 2 years ago. I should have known better. Actually I have had problems with Fuel tools in general ( switches on impact drivers (2) chuck on drill 1x, burnt up a regular M18 Impact . Yes, all where fixed by Milwaukee at no cost.. But,, Way over priced, and the " They have good warranty" line does not work well when your out the tool for a 3 weeks plus.. Going to cordless Hitachi I believe. Enough of the gimmicks for me. I will say I do like Milwaukee the 7.25 slide compound, Great for small jobs, easy and light weight a little slow Rpm's maybe.. But Not as accurate/ true as my 20+year old 7.5 inch hitachi that Ive only had to replace brushes on. Hitachi has changed those years ago. I see that bigger blades are way more money to heavy, and blade has to much flex,, Only when the depth of cut is needed. No, I do not stand Crown up to cut it..
I just subscribed to your UA-cam channel and I just saw your video because im thinking of buyinga Milwaukee M18 framing nail gun. How do i get into the give away of the Milwaukee M18 Nailer?
Shoulda went with the Hitachi/Metabo HPT cordless framer or pnematic 21° NR83AA5M the gun that built the West 25+yrs running(most reliable nailer ever)
I’m a Bostich air stick gun user since they came out and I can’t say enough about them, but I like you want a backup battery gun so after watching this, I will go to the Dewalt 👍 I bought a new passload battery/fuel gun years ago and it kept breaking so I gave the piece of junk away. Anyway thanks for your great video
I have two Bostich pneumatic nailers,one framing gun and a fixout gun..If i leave the guns for any extended period, the triggers leak air.. Supposedly the 0 rings break down.. I was thinking about the Milwaukee battery nailers instead of fixing the triggers once again, but now am not sure...I'm curious if you have had air leaking from the trigger issues on your guns?..Cheers.
I have not had that problem and my stick guns are awesome but I too am looking for the right battery powered gun. I held a new Milwaukee in my hands today and they are heavy lol
I was at a repair shop today that services tools…I’m a Milwaukee fan and have many of their M18 tools, was considering buying the 30 degree nailer and asked the guy there about them. He said “I can not reccomend them, I can’t service them and Milwaukee on average takes 6 weeks to send them back recharged.” I hadn’t heard about that before so I got a more detailed explanation from him. Just as he finished telling me about the nitrogen loss issue, a contractor came in to drop off 3 of them for just that issue! Contractor explained that he had 9 of them and loved the performance of them but had to buy so many, so that he always had atleast 4 working nailers for his crew. I asked him if it was worth it for me to buy 1 as an occasional renovator? He said, “Oh hell no! You’ll get anywhere between 500 and 2500 shots before you have to send it back to Milwaukee for recharge. You’re better off buying the Matabo for reliability and it’s cheaper and comes with 2 batteries.” I asked why he says 500-2500 shots? He said “because they are inconsistent and even Milwaukee doesn’t know how long they will last, so much so that sometimes I come to pick them up here and get a brand new in the box nailer from them because they can’t guarantee the fix. It’s a crap shoot.” I was very disappointed at the info but thanked them both for saving me the money and hassle. Talk about a let down, smh. I’m likely going to get a Matabo and wait to see if Milwaukee smartens up with a Gen2 version that lasts as long as their other M18 tools which I love. I have used a lot of M18 tools for many years without a single breakdown, ever! Can’t tell y’all how crushed I was to get the info I got today, but thankful that my timing at that repair shop got me the info it did. Whew! Do better Milwaukee, C’mon!
Thanks for sharing that. Great information. I just don’t want people thinking it’s buy one and done. I was thinking the same thing as a Builder have to have multiple of them to rotate as they break. Thanks again.
It’s sucks that you had such problems with this gun so early on. Downtime and sending items in for tool repair is just frustrating. I think every tool company has the odd melon here and there. These cordless air spring nailers definitely require a bit more maintenance then your average paslode air gun. I have 4 paslode impulse guns and they work awesome but the gas and cleaning is something you have to keep up on. So then I went with Metabo cordless nailers. I was thinking about Milwaukee but since they had just come out I decided not to. Like you said, first gen is never a good idea. Metabo on the other hand had theirs out for 7+ years. Plus was less money and there’s a service place right in my town. The Milwaukee gun here in Canada is close to $700 and thats just the bare tool. I could get the Metabo for $550 with two 5AH batteries. Anyway the Metabo won’t replace the speed of the air guns but when you’re climbing around and have smaller jobs they are nice. They will overheat on hot summer days tho so that’s something to think about. They will just shut off and you need to cool them down. I had two guns for a year work flawlessly under heavy use before they needed to be refilled. I also have the adapter so I can refill myself. (Can refill without taking the gun apart too) However the Service place here at least can take 3-6months to fix an issue. It’s pathetic. So now I do mostly everything myself. Order the parts online and fix myself. I have six total. 4 work great, two have had electrical problems and ruined a few of my batteries. (Shorted them out or something) These were only a couple months old too. So at the end of the day they work great and they don’t other times. Seems to be the trend right? All I know is for heavy framing nothing will ever beat a Paslode F350s. Super light. Compact and fastest firing gun I’ve ever used. Rarely I mean rarely needs anything done to it. Just oil and go. Clean and replace and O-ring once in a while.
Get a metabo any body who uses air nailers get metabo 7 pounds lightest one on the market as for cordless you want Milwaukee or metabo but I have no metabo battery’s so I went with Milwaukee cuz there are more refined anyway there great tools All there tools last forever but Dewalt frames iv brought back shoot 3 or 4 now and the flywheel in the head is loud compared to the others witch are silent when shooting but if you want to save money on buying cordless guns and nails get 21 degree the guns are cheaper and the nails are cheaper
just bought a nail gun last summer glad Home Depot didn't have it in stock now. I ended up buying a Paslod with the propane cylinders . Like you aways say time is money.
The Milwaukee framing guns are definitely not worth it. I would go as far to say any of their guns. 18 gauge 23 gauge stay on alert is all the same thing. Once it goes down and it's on the out of warranty. They wanna charge you a ridiculous amount of money to clean it and recharge it. Better off going with other brand names. I've had mine for 3 years of framing nailer. And they want to charge me $219 to clean it and charge it just unacceptable.
I don’t understand that another review is done with the brand and technology. These guns are ordinary… Senco invented the technology 16 years ago and besides Paslode and Dewalt every other tool company has this technology in some form. People crap on about Milwaukee regarding their power… Milwaukee has the biggest motor and thats why they are the heaviest and the so claimed most power. The charged air eventually runs out and what else is disappointing is the 18v batteries only do 600/700 nails. They are way too heavy and can’t be used above your waist daily. Unless you’re on that battery platform then buy that donkey. Hikoki actually make the best version of this Senco technology, big rumour is Hikoki Metabo will raise the bar this year in their newest revision. In this video by the time he removed the magazine I would done a basic service of the Paslode.
I don't do videos..ive had mine for over 2 years, the first year..worked perfect, framing every day,i gave the tool some rest,5 month...when i go back to usual, every day framing..wouldn't sink the nails..only halfway....i think this gun is not ment to be used like animals that we are😂😂...im really frustrated...because i even want back to the GYM..just to man handle the darn tool...weights about 30 pounds with a 9 battery and the long magazine..you have a small battery it wont shoot semiautomatic 😂😂....freaking cower tool..
@@affordabledoorgatellc7391I’ve had mine for almost exactly 3 years actually a little over three years. It came out in June 2020. I bought the second one a year later both of mine still work. I hate when people take to UA-cam with their personal gripes and their own situation and then present that as some kind of standard. Unles you have had multiple of these and this was a reoccurring problem You should’ve probably just kept that one to yourself. Another thing you don’t need a receipt for the Milwaukee warranty. You put in the date code and the serial number on the E service. You really are reviewing something that you don’t know much about at all. you don’t know how the warranty works. You really aren’t that familiar with the gun and how it works and you had one isolated situation because you only had one gun.
I’ve had mine for a little over three years I use it professionally still works. I bought my second one two years ago. It also still works. There are plenty of reviews on this gun. It’s an absolute tank a little heavy, but definitely well-built find a better review would be my suggestion. And as far as the service goes, Milwaukee offers a five year warranty, they pay for shipping both ways. The turnaround time is about seven days. So as far as making sure someone services it more bad information. If you have problems with your Milwaukee tools use the E service.
The 5 year warranty is unacceptable when it's not user serviceable and the air is guaranteed to leak out over time. The Metabo has a lifetime warranty AND is user serviceable. I had assumed the M18 used a completely sealed cylinder which is why it didn't have a service port, but no, it has one just like the Metabo but you can't access it unless you completely disassemble the tool. Imagine the cost of that service after your 5 years are up? The company that has a lifetime warranty lets you fill it yourself, the one with only 5 years requires you to send it in periodically to be refilled, I wonder why?
@@dcl97 Metabo offers a three-year warranty just like Dewalt and Makita so that’s not true. I’ll post a link with their warranty under this comment. And as far as servicing it yourself with air, it doesn’t take air in the cylinder it takes a type of gas. That’s why they don’t let you service it yourself.. That doesn’t make it not serviceable you can send any tool into Milwaukee and they will service it for you, or take it to one of their authorized service vendors. So just like the guy in this video you don’t know what you’re talking about. A warranty that is two years longer than their two closest competitors is unacceptable to you?
@@dcl97 and as far as the cost after five years, if you’re an actual professional, and you are making money off of your tools, and not just collecting them then you have made thousands and thousands of dollars off of that tool over the course of five years. We’re not talking about a $2000 tool here we’re talking about a $300 tool. If I can spend $300 on a tool and I am guaranteed five years to make money off of that tool for $300 and that thing goes out on the sixth year I’m OK with it. If you’re not making enough money off of a $300 tool in six years you need to reconsider what you’re doing. Like I said, we’re not talking about a $2000 tool here that’s expected a last lifetime.
@dcl97 wrong, it dose have a service port.
thanks for the info! I bought this gun 2 years ago and it's great. I came to this video to see what's up.
I've had mine since they first came out, shot a million nails, framed so much with it, and it still works awesome with zero issues! No complaints whatsoever!
Regular air is 78% nitrogen, the removal of that bit of oxygen doesn't really mean much. Probably way more important that it's dry nitrogen with low water content.
I own two of these and have had them since they came out and have framed numerous basements and decks professionally. Had to have put a million Nails through each one of them.... just as powerful as the day I bought em. Stumbled across this video in my feed. Cool to see how it works. I definitely abused the heck out of mine dropping them off of high places here and there. Primarily they get stored in the packout system so they're pretty well protected but they definitely get the crap kicked out of them. I would not hesitate to buy another if I needed one!
I have both the Metabo HPT cordless framer & the tried & true paslode XP cordless framer. Both excellent guns. I use my paslode for work above the ground because of how light weight & maneuverable it is. The metabo is great for ground work because it’s a little heavier. The metabo just flat out works. The Paslode (which is my golden child even tho gas is expensive) needs regular maintenance but its extremely easy to do & is all around an excellent gun.. I do have multiple air nailers which get pulled a lot too but it’s just nice to go hoseless if you can get away with it.
i got the ryobi one because its just like the ridgid with the refill valve and i already had ryobi batteries. I looked really hard at the metabo but i didnt want to add more battery platforms. i feel that a way to refill should be standard.
I have one of these. i need to rebuild the whole thing including gearbox. i saw video recently on another channel about the firing mechanism. but it wasnt using nitrogen.
I’ve had one for two years and put an awful lot of nails through it it and no problems whatsoever still as powerful and not a single blockage.
You’re lucky. I bought one to build my fence and it died after 30 minutes. And just like this guy said the Milwaukee guy i talked on the phone acted like he never heard of it happening and now i have to ship it back to Milwaukee and wait
Awesome informational video. I was considering buying that specific framing nailer, but after watching your video, skip that. Thanks!
Need to fiill it with the piston all the way extended. The Metabo has a service mode to get it into that position.
How does one get the Milwaukee into that state?
I run the the 16g and the 18g crown stapler. The 16 has been a trooper, the crown stapler shat itself after a year, but had been absolutely thrashed on the job… new pcb & circuit board under warranty… time will tell.
The Ryobi has easy user access to the fill valve but you fill it with air rather than nitrogen which I question because of the water content in air. The fill value is 125 PSI and it has a relief valve to prevent you from over filling it. I'm retired so it will last me the rest of my life. I have that Dewalt you showed, I bought it in 2006.
Had mine a year now building my barndominium just took a shit on me today. Great video I hope they recall them so I don’t have to buy another nailer. Or give me another one I dont have my damn receipt.
I've had over 10 of these and have only had that happen to one. That's not what I hate about it. Their mags are crap. And the splines on the motor wear out and start slipping
shot about 50k nails through mine and only just starting to lose power and not fully sink 90s, waiting on a security torx bit to arrive to take it apart and recharge cylinder
Thanks for your video 👍
I purchased this nailer about a year ago. Not used every day but has been worked hard until the thermal over load kicks in.
Probably put about 5 boxes of nails through it. 2000 nails per box.
Just recently it has started misfiring. Just a clicking sound like an internal switch operating but no firing.
The fault seems to be intermittent also.
I searched the internet before the purchase and no one had any reviews.
Sounds like you need to refill it.
I've just had a 23 gauge pin nailer lose power over a year of heavy use. If I were milwaukee I'd make the gas port accessible from the outside. Getting access to a tank of pure nitrogen and a regulator is definitely within our abilities.
It's a sad part of modern-day trades. Tools don't last or junk from the start.
We go thru a wide variety of cordless tools and to sit and wait for warranty work to be completed, costs money, and lost jobs. So what's a guy to do but buy spares cordless tools just to keep a guy working.
I'm starting to think the tool companies should start a lease program where you pay a flat rate fee yearly for tools and when their tools fail you drop it off and grab another no questions asked.
When I bought my pneumatic powered Ridgid framing nailer in 2005 the manager at my local Home Depot said if I have any problems with it come back to the store & they'll swap it out with a new one while mine is getting fixed for free with their lifetime warrantee/free parts & service. All you have to do is register it. I just bought the Ridgid 21 degree brushless nailer on Ebay because I got a great deal on a new one in original box & a new in package 4ah battery for only $218.00 total with free shipping & taxes included. Just the nailer at Home Depot is $329 & they never go on sale unless you spend another $20.00 & get a 4ah battery & charger with it. So I saved about a 100 bucks but I don't get the warrantee for life deal because it has to be bought from an authorized Ridgid seller like Home Depot in order to register it. But you're right, it's a throw away society these days & it's actually planned like that on purpose in order for them to make more profits because a lot of times it costs almost as much or more to repair things nowadays! It's called planned obsolescence "(Planned obsolescence describes the practice of designing products to break quickly or become obsolete in the short to mid-term. The general idea behind this is to encourage sales of new products and upgrades, a practice that has been banned in some countries.)"😠
Sorry to hear about this man. It may not have stopped you working completely, but it's an annoyance. And it screws with your business. I was tempted on getting one for my work, but now you got me thinking twice. Was actually just looking at getting a ridgid/aeg one. It comes with the pump to fill it. So hopefully no sending it in for a service.
We have 3 dewalts, in eight months all three have been to the service center multiple times to be fixed (one has gone three separate times). We've given up on them.
Remember only one years warranty wear and tear three workmanship and defects. My board on my impact wrench was considered wear and tear 😢
Oh no. :(
Sorry to hear about your troubles, when you're using it to make a living, for sure down time hurts! I can't blame you for getting rid of it, if that's what you want to do. On another note, you could always keep it and do a long term test with it. I've got the same nail gun but I don't use mine to make a living tbh; light to moderate use, home DYI projects at most. Granted mine is only a month old and not surprisingly it works perfectly. How did you come across that Reduction Valve Set? it appears to be correct, I'd be interested in purchasing one for myself, just wanted to know if its the exact one needed. Thanks for making this vid, it was very insightful.
I found a guy refilling a different brand nailer. If I wind it I will send it your way.
@@affordabledoorgatellc7391 Would much appreciate that sir!
The builder we work with (I'm a sparky) has 6 at this point, they've had one for 3 years that has shot more nails than anyone cares to count is the only one that won't sink nails anymore.
Excellent video my brother I'm going to stick with the Ryobi
Probably a good idea. Good luck 👍🍀
Can I get more part info? I need to order that.
I am a framer I have the 21 and the 30 degree I never have any issue had it for two years. Maybe it a fluke. Never had any product from Milwaukee fail on me thank god.
Can you help me please? I'm about to build my first house (i'm not a framer) and about to drop a chunk of cash on either 21 or 30 Milwaukee. Which is best for overall use like building garage, house, and shed. I know that the 21 will shoot a larger diameter head but other than that I'm not sure of the difference between the 2. Thanks ahead of time.
@@CrossroadToCountry 21 is the way to go. If you do nothing but framing. You can also buy a different clip for it as well you can switch it from a 21 to a 30 degree clip.
@@CrossroadToCountry In General, 21 Framers have always shot the nail harder or you may understand Drive the nail in better than 30. I own a Milwaukie 21, Its more like the old skool Paslodes that would sink nails. And the plastic does fly like tho old skool paslodes.. I have only bought 21 and coil framers in my 35 + years of high end residential carpentry. .
Which paslode do you recommend?
i own a Dewalt air nailer and have had plenty of problems with it also. It leaked air so I did an entire seal rebuild on it. Now there is something funky with the trigger but the shops nearby charge $70 just to walk in the door and diagnose the nailer...doesn't make much sense for a $200 nailer. My point is all brands go bad over time. Hopefully that is a long time. It looks like you rolled the dice and got a lemon with your milwaukee, but a lot of people seem to be really happy with them.

Also another I will note,this is actually a great story.
Holy crap man. I've been thinking about buying the 30 Degree one with the extended mag. I'm glad I saw this and will be watching for more videos from other people about this issue.
everyone has different experiences etc... with all tools just the way it is.
I bought there 15 and 18 the 15 i only got to use 2 times and it broke still havent been able to get it fixed with 5 year warranty. The 18 guage has been the best gun somehow. Love that thing.
I have that same nailer and I have the problem of loss of power, after two years. It doesn't fit well anymore.
My one is fucked too, and I have no idea where I can get it repaired around my area, and not cost me an arm and a leg for the damn thing.
Having the same problem 6 months old so disappointed changed my whole outlook on milwaukee tools and i own a lot of them, nothing makes you more upset than saying let me spend the extra $$$ to get the bad ass one and have it take a crap so soon
UA-cam University!! Hahahahaha!! Almost killed me Bro!!! Hahahahaha!!!! Great Vid!!! Thanks!!! I'll take it!!!
I had bought mine 2weeks ago took it back to exchange it cus it had shoot one nail & that was it so exchanged it & the new one won't even turn on with a completely charged battery n nothing milwaukee is my brand so imagine my disappointment now that I have to get another brand nail gun 😫
I can believe that. I know the feeling.
What model paslode is that? And what air compressor do you use?
PF-350S for the paslode. Air compressor I just use my old Bostitch CAP 2060 P Pancake air compressor. The paslode is still working great. So happy I returned the junky Lowe’s one. Good luck 👍
Thanks
What is that valve called for filling the tank?
pressure regulator
I’ve had mine about a year and I’m guessing about 10 000 nails and it is doing the same thing it doesn’t drive the nails in all the way love the gun it’s great apart from this issue now, I guess I’ll have to contact Milwaukee and see what they say…..
I was literally going to HomeDepot to buy one today! I am going to hold off. Not even made in our country!
I've had one for about a month and I notice that "smell" still works fine probly put 2 boxes nails thru it,, only thing I found it doesn't like is a nail strip that's gotten moisture to the paper, then it'll bend one over halfway down the barrel into the wood
I can’t find the valve to inject the air.
Does anyone know how i can get it?
You have to tear it open. I would probably take it in to a service center or send it in. Good luck my friend.
I feel your pain that's why I brought the rigid brushless framing 3 1/2" nailer they have a cover with a valve that after the 5,000 nails or so you can air it up to the 125 psi and no more because they have a pressure valve so the max is about 127 psi from what ive been able to fill with my Milwaukee 18v inflator. I've made a video of it if you're interested to see how it's made and the benefit of being able to refill. And the reason why I believe Ridgid did this is the LSA where if anything happens you send it in for service for life and they didn't want to fill nailers and waste time and resources. It makes sense Milwaukee with a 5 year warranty dewalt with a 1 year warranty says 3 but you really have to read the fine print. Also made a video about DeWalt warranty and why I left the platform as a whole. I had to pay 111.00 for a bad board you would think it was a defect but with impact wrenches the hard hitting jaring effect will loosen board components which the explained and was considered wear and tear. So they lost my business. But great video you have educated many who just don't know. Who do not have the time for hours of research and the major players in the tool community content maker's are promoting tools they have a script and to get paid they have to keep to the script. They actually have to send the video to be watched before they can publish it. So be careful with these major channels who are in it for profit not community!
Milwaukee forces you to use their service center to repair the tool you cannot buy parts for your gun to service it yourself
The Netabo hpt framing nailer is 5-10k nails. 18v brad is 15k I think. In norway they refill for free
Mine failed and lost pressures after the first 20 minutes of use. Now my fence project i bought it for is halted while i wait to send it back to Milwaukee. And just like you said Milwaukee rep acted like he never heard of that happening and didn’t seem to care at all. I been a Milwaukee customer for 20 years but this has me considering switching to Makita. Thanks for the helpful video. I definitely don’t trust this nail gun anymore
O man what a bummer. I understand the pain.
safety squints: check.
Had 2 broken 2 🤷♀️
Hi I have successfully charged the air into my Milwaukee framing gon, the connector is 1/8NPT. I prefer to fully discharge the Nitrogen, then fully release the piston, and charge the air, In this case just need very little pressure like a flat bicycle tire. And I realized that's alright no matter it's nitrogen or just air.
Air is almost 80% nitrogen already. Apparently 20% do make big difference.
I’ve had the 18g gun and I
Notice when it starts losing pressure. I took it into my local service Center and they gave me a brand new gun. Only once did they actually refill the nitrogen for me. I use my gun constantly and every time I’ve taken it in they’ve handed me a new gun. There is a video of a guy in the UK who had taken it apart and filled it with normal air. I’m tired of taking it in all the time so I’m gonna try and refill it myself but you have to make sure the drive pin is extended before filling. I haven’t figured that part out yet. Metabo (hitachi) suppose to have access to the Schroeder valve so u can fill it yourself. It’s my understanding that Milwaukee bought Senco patent to be able to make these.
I've had to have many tools repaired by Milwaukee and never been told to take to a service center when under warranty. The down time is horrible and have been there but you should always have a back up solution even if it is the tried and true compressor, air hose, and gun. Also they have given me RTM to home depot before and just got a new one same day.
All good info my friend 👍
What model is that paslode air nailer?
Nvm found it in comment
Refilling the pressure chamber is putting a bandaid on the problem. A rebuild kit would probably be in order, before pressurizing, or else it will just leak out again. BTW, that's not red loctite, that's cross treading or stripping the plastic.
First off all you needed to have is a PCP air rifle pump has the same fitting to fill it to 100 PSI, second all the motor does is spin that cog and push the anvil back against the air pressure in the tank and when you press the trigger it picks a Solenoid which releases the anvil and the pressure drives it to strike the nail. Simple as is..!!! LMFIAO PS. Even though it was originally filled with Nitrogen remember air is 78% Nitrogen so it should work fairly well except it may be more prone to drop pressure due to some smaller molecules like Oxygen.
No 160 psi .
i have the paslode, dewalt, senco trim and the Milwaukee i would say Milwaukee is the worst one, senco most reliable one, paslode the lightest one but I'm a not in the trade however i fix and mod tools as a hobby
I still use a Makita an924 air nailer and it runs all dam day. For a battery nailer I use RYOBI 15 gauge air nailer and it runs all day. I am just saying there are more brands that due the same job. 🤷🏽♂️
Paslode cordless framing nailers are great when they work,but they're just not that reliable
I do see you are not the only one fixing Milwaukee Nailers.
Mine going out to. Really dissapointing.disappointing. might be switching out brands. Awesome gun but the weights a killer.
I just bought this gun today lol hope it will last
Let me know how it holds up it’s like 50/50 with people I hear.
@@affordabledoorgatellc7391 👍
Right?
Metabo HTPs Battery Nailer is great. Alot less heavy. Doesn't replace a air nailer fully but sometimes having the hose is a problem or you only need to shoot one nail or two. Has the refill valve. They are gunna break down after a couple years, but its the cost of doing business. Metabo HTP prices are super reasonable. Love the Metabo htp framing nailer
All you need is a pcp air rifle pump 200 psi
Lowe's? That's your first mistake. The great thing about Milwaukee is that no matter where you buy it from, you will be buying the same model, no matter what.
That’s good to know dewalt had different models back in the day. I would have the secretary make sure she ordered the exact same model number so hopefully we wouldn’t get the cheaper model. I think the only thing I have seen with Milwaukee is brushless vs brush on different drills etc. That is nice if Milwaukee doesn’t play the game of box store has this model. Dealer has this model and online is even a different model number. I had to dig hard on UA-cam to find the paslode framing nailer from Lowe’s is not the same one that the professionals use. Sure is a bummer when you buy something and it doesn’t even make it a day but that’s the new norm I guess.
I have one, it lasted about a year until it started leaving nails proud. Pretty disappointing can't lie.
Had a seen your video I would not have bought mine. I do not like how hard it is to access for recharge. We have lots of Milwaukee in Milwaukee has been great for warranty, but I wanted a 20 year tool. Not a five-year warranty only tool.
I considered purchasing this nailer but after finding out it has a "sealed" Nitrogen canister I have decided not to. There is no such thing as a sealed canister as they will leak over time. Air would work but it has moisture in it an will condense on the inside so Nitrogen is a better gas from that standpoint.
God bless ya man, I feel your pain! I love Milwaukee Tools, but these companies act like everyone is made of money. I was thinking about buying one like this because I have the batteries and other tools, but after watching this video of yours I think I will pass. I have a Paslode 16 gauge cordless gun and the battery went bad, luckily the thing was still under warranty, so they shipped me one out, plus I had to buy cartridges for it also. Still works good though. Other than that I have used the Bostich air nailers with the 25' coil hoses, which has worked the best for me, so I am just going to stick with what I have been using. Peace!
Your a smart man. Good luck Brother keep up the good fight 👍
I saw this video and still made my purchase , this is the only negitive review i seen and i think you just got a defective one . milwaukee in my book is top notch . can't just not buy one cuz of one bad tool that he got.
AGREE- I own 3 Milwaukee's , 18 Ga. Brad (1 yr old) 1/4 inch crown (1 yr old) and same framer (2 yrs old) . Stapler is in warranty getting refilled, Brad nailer I just got back about a month ago. Framer has not lost charge YET! Maybe cause Im a finish carpenter and don't use that much? But, I do not recommend any M18 nailers for the way they leave you hanging. Wish I knew 2 years ago. I should have known better. Actually I have had problems with Fuel tools in general ( switches on impact drivers (2) chuck on drill 1x, burnt up a regular M18 Impact . Yes, all where fixed by Milwaukee at no cost.. But,, Way over priced, and the " They have good warranty" line does not work well when your out the tool for a 3 weeks plus.. Going to cordless Hitachi I believe. Enough of the gimmicks for me. I will say I do like Milwaukee the 7.25 slide compound, Great for small jobs, easy and light weight a little slow Rpm's maybe.. But Not as accurate/ true as my 20+year old 7.5 inch hitachi that Ive only had to replace brushes on. Hitachi has changed those years ago. I see that bigger blades are way more money to heavy, and blade has to much flex,, Only when the depth of cut is needed. No, I do not stand Crown up to cut it..
I just subscribed to your UA-cam channel and I just saw your video because im thinking of buyinga Milwaukee M18 framing nail gun. How do i get into the give away of the Milwaukee M18 Nailer?
Nice. I figured we get up to 2k in subs and that baby it up for grabs. Thanks have a good one.
mine didnt work out of the box gotta take it up with home depot
Dang what a bummer.
Shoulda went with the Hitachi/Metabo HPT cordless framer or pnematic 21° NR83AA5M the gun that built the West
25+yrs running(most reliable nailer ever)
paslode all the way !cordless framer as well!!!
I’m a Bostich air stick gun user since they came out and I can’t say enough about them, but I like you want a backup battery gun so after watching this, I will go to the Dewalt 👍 I bought a new passload battery/fuel gun years ago and it kept breaking so I gave the piece of junk away. Anyway thanks for your great video
I have two Bostich pneumatic nailers,one framing gun and a fixout gun..If i leave the guns for any extended period, the triggers leak air.. Supposedly the 0 rings break down.. I was thinking about the Milwaukee battery nailers instead of fixing the triggers once again, but now am not sure...I'm curious if you have had air leaking from the trigger issues on your guns?..Cheers.
I have not had that problem and my stick guns are awesome but I too am looking for the right battery powered gun. I held a new Milwaukee in my hands today and they are heavy lol
Ah,ok..Thanks for your reply Steve.@@stevegranger5559
I was at a repair shop today that services tools…I’m a Milwaukee fan and have many of their M18 tools, was considering buying the 30 degree nailer and asked the guy there about them. He said “I can not reccomend them, I can’t service them and Milwaukee on average takes 6 weeks to send them back recharged.” I hadn’t heard about that before so I got a more detailed explanation from him. Just as he finished telling me about the nitrogen loss issue, a contractor came in to drop off 3 of them for just that issue! Contractor explained that he had 9 of them and loved the performance of them but had to buy so many, so that he always had atleast 4 working nailers for his crew. I asked him if it was worth it for me to buy 1 as an occasional renovator? He said, “Oh hell no! You’ll get anywhere between 500 and 2500 shots before you have to send it back to Milwaukee for recharge. You’re better off buying the Matabo for reliability and it’s cheaper and comes with 2 batteries.” I asked why he says 500-2500 shots? He said “because they are inconsistent and even Milwaukee doesn’t know how long they will last, so much so that sometimes I come to pick them up here and get a brand new in the box nailer from them because they can’t guarantee the fix. It’s a crap shoot.” I was very disappointed at the info but thanked them both for saving me the money and hassle. Talk about a let down, smh. I’m likely going to get a Matabo and wait to see if Milwaukee smartens up with a Gen2 version that lasts as long as their other M18 tools which I love. I have used a lot of M18 tools for many years without a single breakdown, ever! Can’t tell y’all how crushed I was to get the info I got today, but thankful that my timing at that repair shop got me the info it did. Whew! Do better Milwaukee, C’mon!
Thanks for sharing that. Great information. I just don’t want people thinking it’s buy one and done. I was thinking the same thing as a Builder have to have multiple of them to rotate as they break. Thanks again.
It’s sucks that you had such problems with this gun so early on. Downtime and sending items in for tool repair is just frustrating. I think every tool company has the odd melon here and there. These cordless air spring nailers definitely require a bit more maintenance then your average paslode air gun. I have 4 paslode impulse guns and they work awesome but the gas and cleaning is something you have to keep up on. So then I went with Metabo cordless nailers. I was thinking about Milwaukee but since they had just come out I decided not to. Like you said, first gen is never a good idea. Metabo on the other hand had theirs out for 7+ years. Plus was less money and there’s a service place right in my town. The Milwaukee gun here in Canada is close to $700 and thats just the bare tool. I could get the Metabo for $550 with two 5AH batteries. Anyway the Metabo won’t replace the speed of the air guns but when you’re climbing around and have smaller jobs they are nice. They will overheat on hot summer days tho so that’s something to think about. They will just shut off and you need to cool them down.
I had two guns for a year work flawlessly under heavy use before they needed to be refilled. I also have the adapter so I can refill myself. (Can refill without taking the gun apart too) However the Service place here at least can take 3-6months to fix an issue. It’s pathetic. So now I do mostly everything myself. Order the parts online and fix myself. I have six total. 4 work great, two have had electrical problems and ruined a few of my batteries. (Shorted them out or something) These were only a couple months old too. So at the end of the day they work great and they don’t other times. Seems to be the trend right?
All I know is for heavy framing nothing will ever beat a Paslode F350s. Super light. Compact and fastest firing gun I’ve ever used. Rarely I mean rarely needs anything done to it. Just oil and go. Clean and replace and O-ring once in a while.
Great info thanks for sharing. Great to read lots of good insight thank you 🙏
Get a metabo any body who uses air nailers get metabo 7 pounds lightest one on the market as for cordless you want Milwaukee or metabo but I have no metabo battery’s so I went with Milwaukee cuz there are more refined anyway there great tools All there tools last forever but Dewalt frames iv brought back shoot 3 or 4 now and the flywheel in the head is loud compared to the others witch are silent when shooting but if you want to save money on buying cordless guns and nails get 21 degree the guns are cheaper and the nails are cheaper
just bought a nail gun last summer glad Home Depot didn't have it in stock now. I ended up buying a Paslod with the propane cylinders . Like you aways say time is money.
I don't know why anyone would think that a battery framing nailer would work reliably
Should have bought a hikoki matabo bro
If you smell nitrogen you still gotta leak.
The Milwaukee framing guns are definitely not worth it. I would go as far to say any of their guns. 18 gauge 23 gauge stay on alert is all the same thing. Once it goes down and it's on the out of warranty. They wanna charge you a ridiculous amount of money to clean it and recharge it. Better off going with other brand names. I've had mine for 3 years of framing nailer. And they want to charge me $219 to clean it and charge it just unacceptable.
I don’t understand that another review is done with the brand and technology. These guns are ordinary… Senco invented the technology 16 years ago and besides Paslode and Dewalt every other tool company has this technology in some form. People crap on about Milwaukee regarding their power… Milwaukee has the biggest motor and thats why they are the heaviest and the so claimed most power. The charged air eventually runs out and what else is disappointing is the 18v batteries only do 600/700 nails. They are way too heavy and can’t be used above your waist daily. Unless you’re on that battery platform then buy that donkey. Hikoki actually make the best version of this Senco technology, big rumour is Hikoki Metabo will raise the bar this year in their newest revision. In this video by the time he removed the magazine I would done a basic service of the Paslode.
New out of box dead don't even shoot a nail
Dang that’s a bummer.
I don't do videos..ive had mine for over 2 years, the first year..worked perfect, framing every day,i gave the tool some rest,5 month...when i go back to usual, every day framing..wouldn't sink the nails..only halfway....i think this gun is not ment to be used like animals that we are😂😂...im really frustrated...because i even want back to the GYM..just to man
handle the darn tool...weights about 30 pounds with a 9 battery and the long magazine..you have a small battery it wont shoot semiautomatic 😂😂....freaking cower tool..
To funny 👍👍
You mean, don't buy it if you're a home owner that's going to let it sit for three years.
I wouldn’t bank on it working in 3 years lol
@@affordabledoorgatellc7391I’ve had mine for almost exactly 3 years actually a little over three years. It came out in June 2020. I bought the second one a year later both of mine still work. I hate when people take to UA-cam with their personal gripes and their own situation and then present that as some kind of standard. Unles you have had multiple of these and this was a reoccurring problem You should’ve probably just kept that one to yourself. Another thing you don’t need a receipt for the Milwaukee warranty. You put in the date code and the serial number on the E service. You really are reviewing something that you don’t know much about at all. you don’t know how the warranty works. You really aren’t that familiar with the gun and how it works and you had one isolated situation because you only had one gun.
@@steffendetrick100% agree.
