Good review. Gen 1 15G was garbage, now it is fixed. I use and abuse all my Milwaukee tools, and the best thing they have above all others is the warranty. Everything sent in for repair has been fixed or replaced within 10 days, including a 12" Miter Saw. The only issue is when a tool is sent in for repair, you need another one to use for a week or so, therefore you need two of each.. Some think this is a bad thing, but if you are a real contractor, you need at least two of each anyhow.

Excellent review - lots of real-world facts and insights without all of the dramatics and fluff. It really makes me wonder that with all of the design engineers they have on staff at Milwaukee that they could not have come up with a design to overcome the real-world usage limitations of the belt hook. C'mon - how much engineering smarts does it really take to design a extendable/collapsible hook that you can pull out during work, and then push back in if you want to store the nailer inside a Packout drawer?? That tells me they somehow didn't do enough real User/Field testing during the design stage because that issue would have cropped up right away. But they can still recover since that's a part that just screws on. They can still make amends on that now.

There was a pretty good discussion on ToolGuyd when these tools came out about the value of Nitrogen Spring vs the Dewalt Flywheel regarding longevity. The consensus iirc was if it involves Gas and moving Parts then as the tool is doing its job EVENTUALLY it will lose some gas will escape, thats just the nature of the beast. So I make sure to not overwork my guns and wear them out. For example I don't use the framer for Bulk nailing like Shear panels roof sheathing, or subfloor.

I use 15 and 18. Carrying a 16 means carrying to many types of nails for me. 15 and 18 meet my range of needs best.

Just waiting for my Hitachi 15 gauge to break before I get a cordless Milwaukee 15 gauge. Problem is I might retire before that happens.

An informative video Spencer, thank you. I was hoping you were still aggravated with Milwaukee. My wife bought me an early Christmas present (s) when got me the Dewalt 15, 16, and 18 gauge 20 volt nail guns. She didn’t realize I had gotten the Milwaukee18 volt Gen 2, 15, 16, & 18 gauge nail gun and the Milwaukee Gen 2 Framing nailer the week before. I was hoping you or someone else would be willing to take them off my hands for a discounted price of course. If anyone is interested please send me a comment. The Dewalt nailers are all new and I still have the bags and the original boxes. If you are interested please let me know. Thanks for your time and keep up the great work! I hope you and yours had a Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year! Ron H

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I was waiting on your review before purchasing, but I couldn't wait and I pulled the trigger. I'm glad to hear your thoughts and that you think so highly of it. Ps. I'm on the Makita battery platform and I use an adapter and have had no issues. Milwaukita/Milkita for the win!

Make a spacer block so the hook extends out. You will need some longer screws though.

@@Quickened1 That is true. You have a decision to make, Toolbox or belt? I would go for the belt. Maybe it could go into a different box.

Hey , Spencer does the Dewalt battery adapter work on the gen2 15 gauge gun like it does on the 18 gauge , thanks

I would assume so. It worked fine on the gen 1 and gen 2 18 gauge.

What a huge difference they made going to that Gen 2 18 gauge nailer it is night and day, I do not own a 15 gauge yet but that's probably next

I got the Milwaukee Gen 1 15ga, and I agree with the clip design. Drop the 15ga nailer a few times because of the clip. It is not secure to the belt. But then again, clips design is also a fault with Makita too. Drop my Makita impact so many times because of it. My work flow required me to kneel and pick parts to fasten. Some how either with my thigh or my work belt, they would push my impact and 15ga off my belt

Intresting to hear your comments on dewalt 15g. All the exact same complaints I have with mine. The dewalts need regular maintenance, like blowing them out and hitting the mag loader with silicone spray so the nails feed without being hung up. But i want to upgrade to milwaukee, plus they have way more usefull tools on the m18 and m12 lineup for feild carpenters than dewalt does. But my dewalts are fine, they get the job done with just a little extra attention. Im holding out for makitas 40v

@jami w i personally hate the variable trigger on the dewalt multi tool lol. I have all makita tools except for a hitachi pinner and the dewalt 18 and 15. I also dont want to commit to a cordless tablesaw because when the ridgid dies itll get replaced with a saw stop. But milwaukee has the best m12 lineup, lots of valuable tools for field carpenters in m12. and looks like now they have the best guns, so id be advantaged with some milwakee stuff. But i still dont want to replace my current mix up of battery brands with anything untill the makita 40volts come to the US
