Bags are abundant! Hard custom fit cases are priceless.

[@xenonram]

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

[@stevenanderson9660]

From now on all of my tools are going into packout boxes. So another custom case is a waste for me.

So we finally have a gen 2 brad, along w/ the 15, 16, gauges. Will be getting the framing nailers....but I still can’t get rid of my compressor b/c of siding/roofing nailers, & 23g pin nailer(yes know there’s 2 brands out). Would be slick if Milwaukee released an M18 version of these tools in the future. Once they do, I will actually be 100% cordless on the jobsite. Never imagined a day when this “could” be possible when started out in the trades. What a time we are living in....exciting along w/ future possibilities 😁 Cheers✌🏼

[@IncogSkbb021]

Instead of a compressor, now you're bringing a generator to charge batteries. Not a bad trade off at all, it means that you need no stinking hard wired power to complete a job.😁

[@Southernboy302]

@@IncogSkbb021 A lot of newer trucks have inverters built right into them and obviously having more than one battery is ideal, but if I had someone working on my house I wouldn't care if they charged their batteries while working. I get that could be an issue when it comes to new construction without an utility hook up tho. Either way it's still way less bs than having to deal with pneumatic hoses and time wasted on clean up.

It just randomly showed up in the mail. They have some cheap merchandise that they don’t advertise. Can’t remember but it’s something like Milwaukeeswag.com.

Great channel, quality videos

[@jenniferstinert5498]

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

[@notmirelnam248]

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

[@johnn8117]

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

[@MNHOMEdotPro]

I don't use any tool company branded bags or boxes. It just screams 'steal me'. I transfer the tools into Husky or similar tool bags. I'd love to get unbranded versions of packouts in a matte graphite color.

[@xenonram]

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

@vcg Construction I literally had to replace the battery in my iPhone 6+ today because the battery was so old in it (got it in 2014) that it was no longer keeping a good charge, Apple authorized repair at a bestbuy, I commented to the geek squad tech that the batter was only at a 25% charge, she told me they didn't ship the batteries at a higher charge because they had the possibility of exploding. When you mentioned the battery on that nailer was basically at 25% (1 bar) it makes me think maybe there are regulations in regards to shipping batteries.

[@TinkerKing209]

The legs rocking in the beginning😂

[@TheKurtTribute]

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

[@doddgarger6806]

[@austinhubbartt695]

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

[@shanehuff5080]

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

It is nicer that the mode button is a separate button and not using the some power button like on my m18 finish nailer. That is like what they did with the new m18 light that was based on the m12 version with the magnets and beam clamp but with the ajustable light head and changed the mode button to be a separate button that keeps the mode setting after you turn it off.

Hi Vince, Really like the milwaukee gen2 model. The first one was a really bad design. Glad milwaukee just did a total redesign. I use the DeWalt 18g brad nailer (20v) and it's great. The only two issue i have with it is the motor rev up noise. It get annoying after awhile. I like how the milwaukee sounds in this video. The second is the led light. It's ok but just not bright enough due to its location. Amazing how all these companies are improving the cordless tools. I still have my air tool and corded tools for back up. Thanks for the video
