I recently purchased the M18 16fngs and it’s been great so far, so after hearing Milwaukee offer a 23g brad nailer I was looking to add that to my kit but after searching many of the Milwaukee stockists over here in the UK I was disappointed to find out nobody has it available for some reason. So it looks like I will be purchasing this instead 👍

I have both now. Love the m12 Got it for assembling cabinets before I screw them

As I’ve used it I think that’s kind of its strong point where I like to use the 1-1/2” nails so I don’t blow out the side. Face frames, door casings, corner trim pieces, etc.

Not sure if that means I’m leading the pack or a doofus! The 1-1/2” capacity does make this a little more niche but it is a LOT more packable. Hoping this video will help others make their decision!

When I saw these at pipeline I really wanted one. Almost a year later there not anyplace local and I ask my milwaukee rep he's like I didn't know thoes existed or were comming out. I really appreciate the size at least on screen I use a ryobi hp brad nailer currently. Going into my general maintenance tote is a ammo can (door install trim ect.). Until now I had a ammo can with fuel osslating tool, fuel jigsaw and fuel circ saw. Size is a huge consideration and with this it may fit onto something small instead of a seprate bag. You get enough seprate bags now your at a ton of trips into a place. Or you get lazy and try to go without so avoid carrying stuff in. Thanks for the video.
@EngineersPerspective701Ай бұрын
These took forever to come to market. Will be smaller than the ryobi for sure. You got the m18 or the m12 fuel oscillating tool? I got the M12 and love it but want 2 because I use them so much. You recommend the M18 if you have it or just get second m12?
@MattHmm-rq6dnАй бұрын
I use a m12 fuel osslating tool and it's funny my guys shay it's mote powerful than the dewalt xrs we have now collecting dust. I have used the first and second gen m18 oss tool and first gen is a joke. The second gen seems to be decent alot of vibration compared to the m12. I suspect the m18 dosent chew through batteries as badly but I'll swap them out for the smaller size. The other day I had my m12 fuel osslating tool cut through a Honda cv axel with a diablo carbide blade took an entire 5ah ho battery bit did it. My vote is get the tool that's the form factor you want and not wish you did.

2.5 HO is the way. The 4xc is nice too. And the 5HO. But the. 2.5 is awesome for keeping it lightweight and still power. Good video
@EngineersPerspective70112 күн бұрын
Love the 2.5HOs they’re definitely my all round favorite M12 batteries. Might help with the rapid fire speed but so far this seems to sip batteries so I’ve been leaving the 2.0 on it. Thanks for watching!

I bought the m12 and loved it, but I returned it and went with an M18 for more versatility.
@EngineersPerspective701Ай бұрын
Yeah I could see that. If a guy can only own 1 then the M18 makes a lot more sense
@freddie966wooАй бұрын
I guess i will stick with my m18 cause i use 2 inch nail for trim and baseboard
@EngineersPerspective701Ай бұрын
Definitely not as versatile but 1-1/2” nails for door casing into the jamb or face framing on cabinets, etc.

I am Totally into weight/performance. Since I used the 90 Degree die grinder M12 I am completely sold to Milwaukee. Would Love that nailer for worksite. I am into delicate work. So don’t need M18…

When somebody tells me that a nailer is a brad nailer,what does that means.I know that it is a nailer for sure but what makes it a Brad nailer.
@EngineersPerspective70123 күн бұрын
When someone says brad nailer they are referring to the 18ga finish “brad” nails that it shoots. 18ga is the diameter of the nail shank. The lower the number, the larger the diameter

Agreed with the 16ga. I’ve just gotten by because I can’t justify the additional gun at this time. For thinner and smaller profiles doesn’t seem to be an issue though 95% of the time

You also don’t need 16g for MDF base, which is really common where I live.

Ehh, not sure everyone would agree. 1/2” baseboard means only 1/2” of nail in the baseplate and studs. Thicker base and 5/8” sheet rock makes that even less

The 1.5” nails do limit it for sure. I think overhead work or limited space for packing tools are going to be your big drivers for this tool

Typical Milwaukee. Keep bringing useless tools out but not improving the ones they have, no different than Makita these days. This cordless nailer tech can’t get any better or lighter. It’s a gimmick. The money is in the batteries not the tool. Appreciate the review mate.
@Jesse921Ай бұрын
Exactly what I was thinking. Really no need to make the m12 version since the m18 version is so good. Besides sales
@EngineersPerspective701Ай бұрын
I think it’s really about weight and packability. Biggest downside of battery nailers is the weight, so lots of overhead work would really make sense with the M12, assuming 1-1/2” works. Same goes for a tool that isn’t used everyday but here and there. A lot easier to bring it along or store in a modular tool box setup as a just in case option. I do think it’s a niche tool but I really wanted it so here we are!
