Hello there,I just want to know the type/types of application this narrow crown stapler is used for.I have lots of Milwaukee tools and this is not one of them,I'm planning to buy it to add to my collections but before I do so,I want to really understand it's work,what it does,the type of operations that it is used for.

[@txvet7738]

That’s great to know that I can use this in a pinch as a brad nailer!

[@clcoghlan]

Went in to buy a narrow crown stapler and it was a brad nailer they pulled out for me and it didn't work with my staples obviously.

[@SteveMe21685]

Hey so if you had to have just one size nailer for trim, kitchen cabs, etc…you’d pick an 18 gauge?

[@BuildsStuff]

16

[@robertrada6040]

Thanks for reminding me why I bought an M18 kit. Any issues with the actual stapling?

[@BuildsStuff]

Why on earth would I test if it shoots staples ok?!?🤪

[@charlschuck6]

I was wondering in box and spec of this narrow stapler it not recommend nor stated to be able to nail , brad nails . Well I’m curious Will this tool be able to either nail smaller brad nail that fit this 1/4 crown stapler or and small depth narrow staples for smaller projects you should try it 😆 I would but that will take abit I don’t have that tool yet it’s not in my budget yet😅 if you try it let me know what happens…

[@yeltayyesbolat7566]

I saw the original website use 2 Ah battery, could that be the 5 Ah too powerful?

[@ccadama]

@Builds & Stuff. So what will you say when Tim tells you that you can shoot narrow staples with the M18 Brad nailer? I'm surprised that the M18 narrow crown stapler didn't jam after a few nails. I would've guessed that brads would break off the strip of brads, get two or more brads by the striker and jam. Hope you and your family stay safe and well.

[@mattrumbattrum9952]

Sound like you need to put 2 strips of 18ga brad nails and fire away haha

[@San-et5xh]

Bloody Tim Taylor aye! 😜

[@lorenzomendoza1476]

This happened to me rn with a DeWalt 18 gauge narrow crown stapler I’m upset 😂

[@karlmclean2023]

Can you talk about the compressed gas canister inside that costs half the amount off the gun when needing a service and refill after firing 10000 staples or nails. This isn’t talked about much when promoting the tool. Didn’t know it fired brads nice review 👍

[@altragoat8090]

Hey mate do you have any information on this. I know its an older comment. But its the only comment ive seen refering to any kind of service costs. Cheers

[@karlmclean2023]

@@altragoat8090 I asked Milwaukee what’s the crack with the service and they replied. you have to send the gun away to get service and the nitrogen refilled after 10,000 staples. The rough cost was £100 and also you’ll be without a gun for however long they have it for. Can be quite costly each year if I need 3 refills on top of the staples

[@alexs2778]

I think you can just load 3-4 strip at a time to have them more consistent but what a waste of nails.

[@johngamba7912]

Brad could get “fired” running it in a stapler.

[@AugustusCardoso]

Jesus, Tim 🤦

Milwaukee is cutting costs for New Zealand! Bare tool just sitting in the box without packing! Crazy! Us Yanks get them nice and secure in the box, with the paperwork. 😉 Have an awesome day... Spring is in the air.

[@nakedapprentice]

It could also be an environmental thing, co, you know, plastic doesn't just disappear.

[@BuildsStuff]

I think he was joking Lennard. And it was packed with polystyrene, but that isn't as quick to remove on a YT video.

[@christopherenoch4230]

@@BuildsStuff yes yes, it twas a joke... I figured you'd removed the packing... Cheers.
