You heard it here first. This move is part of their increasing focus on tools made for their core trades users. -Michael Springer Qoute from a tools of the trade magazine, sorry to hear this.I hope this isn't true. As a product line footnote, Milwaukee is discontinuing their line of pneumatic nailers in the US.
In that regard I should have bought the Hitachi for the same price in Amazon which has a smaller nose and permits a closer toe nailing. My only criticism is the size of the nose bumper that prevents a close side (toe) nailing. I hope Milkwaukee reads that comment and provides a smaller replacement for the nose bumper of that otherwise excellent gun.I own five different guns made by the company (big framing, 18 gage, 16 gage, roofing and the 15 gage) and I am delighted by the reliability of these tools. The tool is very good. So far I fired about 2500 nails without a problem.
It works great. I have the DeWalt version and it is not as sensitive. I have owned it for a little over a year now and have had no jams.
The reason I gave it 4 stars is because I use it to nail hardwood floors and it is very sensitive, it must be put in just the right angle to get the nose to let the gun fire. I actually prefer the DeWalt gun except for the trigger which can't be changed easily and it doesn't have a dry fire limiter. I have to readjust the nose multiple times before it fires.
This nail gun seems very well made. For most uses this gun would work great. I also have the Senco and my favorite is the DeWalt.
The selector switch to switch from single fire to bump fire is one of the reasons I tried this gun. I also like that the guns won't let you dry fire it when you are out of nails.
I received very fast service from amazon. This nail gun has a real nice feel, the weight is low and it is easy to load. I was able to get senco nails at Lowes, really like the 15 gauge nails and the angle helps to get into tight places.
I couldn't have gotten a better finish nailer at this price. It is light weight and simple to use. I would recommend this finish nailer to anyone considering purchase of this type nailer. I purchased this nailer having purchased and successfully used a Milwaukee framing nailer a few months earlier. This finish nailer is excellent for the home handyman as well as the professional builder.
