[@scrutton66]

Great video. I just picked one up and this helped a lot in terms of loading nails. and the different ways to shoot them.

Seth Rogen reviewing tools again! Love your videos mate I just brought the 15g finish nailer, very excited to use it.

[@ToolsWithAdrius]

LOL, yeah the actor gig didn't pan out so I pivoted to tool review on KZbin! Thanks for stopping by and I bet you'll love the nailer!

[@djchino]

I had the 16g version of this gun and the punching power on this one is evident

[@ProxyFinal]

I really like the overall look of it

[@ToolsWithAdrius]

Same here! It has great styling and even better performance 😎

[@rickyperkins232]

So based on your review I am now a proud father of a 15 gauge nailer for a week. I have used it for a week now and it is impressive, I can't believe never knew about this nailer until your video. Thanks. Question, will you be doing testing on their framing nailer?

[@ToolsWithAdrius]

Hi there Ricky! Glad to hear you're liking the finish nailer so far. As much as I would love to test the Milwaukee framing nailer, I probably will not be doing so. Every tool I review on here I buy with my own money, and I already own and have tested the Metabo 36v framing nailer. The Metabo I reviewed here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKGUpXhjn6uggbM I've heard very good things about the Milwaukee framing nailer, however!

I have the Milwaukee Gen 2 18GA brad, and the 23GA pin nailer. Would I need a 16GA or could I just skip that for the 15GA and be fine due to already having the 18GA for the smaller jobs?

[@ToolsWithAdrius]

I think you'd be fine going with the 18GA and the 15GA for the heavier stuff, yep!

[@colebyron2080]

Got mine today, was pretty disappointed on my first try at it, misfired about half the nails where it wouldn’t even fire the nail. Shot a whole rack into some pine blocks.

[@ToolsWithAdrius]

A Gen II had those problems? I'm shocked! The Gen I model had a ton of issues, but the Gen II seems solid.

@@colebyron2080 That's unfortunate to hear! It might be worth reaching out to Milwaukee to see if they will take a look at it.

What brand nails?

[@oz1670]

@@ToolsWithAdrius I had the same troubles. I was shooting some chair rail and it kept jamming. I was shooting dewalt. Nails. Do you mind sharing what nails work well, thanks.

[@TheToolnut]

What's it like with hardwoods??

[@ToolsWithAdrius]

I've been using it on walnut and oak, no issues!

[@nsxproperties560]

Is the size smaller than the 1st gen?

[@ToolsWithAdrius]

It looks like it is roughly the same size, maybe Gen II being slightly bigger. The Milwaukee site lists the Gen 1 length as 11.9" and 6.3lbs. The Gen II length is listed as 12.75" and 6.5lbs.

[@nsxproperties560]

@@ToolsWithAdrius If im not having any issues with my Gen 1 is there any reason to upgrade?

[@ToolsWithAdrius]

@@nsxproperties560 I would say if your Gen 1 is working well and sinking nails like a champ, there's no need to upgrade to Gen 2. :-)
