It'd be a kinda subjective test, but I feel like a push broom test would be cool. They're kinda overlooked, but a good one makes a big difference

As much of a pain as an air hose is, this showed some of the drawbacks of the hoseless nailers. Thanks for all the time you take doing these product tests.

considering that 20-some-odd years ago Paslode was the only cordless framing nailer available, it's impressive how far battery tools have come.

I work in construction and since falling in love with this channel all I do is annoy everyone on site with my informative tool knowledge and purchase suggestions 😅

The dimensional tests are invaluable, Todd!! Knowing which ones will get closest to the wall, and best handle toe nailing? Absolutely invaluable work you perform, as always!

A heavy nailer takes a lot of the recoil stress out of your wrist but when you’re nailing off siding you’ll feel that extra weight.

I’ve been building for 45 years and I’ve just moved to battery nailing gun love Milwaukee thanks my 2 sons ,keep telling me move with the times dad ,for lasted 20yrs my youngest son brought me nail gun but heavy after a day on the framing and roof cheers 🍻

Man I love the smell of the paslode exhaust, brings back so many awesome memories of building stuff! Like electric cars, sometimes you just can't beat the sound and smell of internal combustion 😊

Milwaukee is so consistently a strong performer in your tests it’s amazing. I have trust in Milwaukee like I do in Honda at this point. If I need a tool or equipment in a hurry and don’t have time to research I always know I won’t go wrong with either brand 95% of the time.

I have no use for one of these nailers, but it's always fun to watch how you come up with the testing. Well done!

I have enjoyed my Paslode nailery for years, They preform when needed and I dont require a noisy compressor to get the project completed. Keep the tool clean and lubed with a rare nail jamb. Company is great to work with year after year. Thank you Todd for another head to head comparison.

We NEED a comprehensive high torque 1/2 impact video so bad!! It’s one of the most popular tools on the market and there’s no one else on KZfaq we’d trust to do it. Milwaukee, IR, Dewalt, Hart, Harbor Freight, Makita, Rigid, etc. It may be your most expensive video yet but ask your fans and we’ll gladly support you! You’re the only reason I’m on Patreon, your channel is a godsend.

Masterfully done. Your tool tests and reviews are the most thorough anywhere.

Milwaukee continues to impress. They may not "win" in every category, but they consistently come out on top or near the top and seem like the best battery system to buy into for most people.

I’ve been using the Milwaukee paper collated version since it was released. I think mine may finally be getting weak, but I’ve pushed it pretty hard. I’ve built a house and a few additions (framing, sheathing, subfloor), numerous post frame sheds (#1 lumber, very hard columns), and countless other jobs. I didn’t plan on it being designed to replace an air gun for constant use, but in the end that’s what I did, and if it’s shot I’m still happy! Nothing beats packing away the compressor.

Whenever I want to purchase something, I always check to see if you've tested and compared. Your videos are invaluable, and I love watching your content. Thanks for continuing to test and compare all sorts of products!

As an Alaska resident I really appreciate the cold weather operation part of these tests. I've sheathed roofs with paslode and dewalt guns at -10 degrees and left them in the dust with the cold weather resilience of the red nailer. I've personally gone through two dewalt framers before switching to red and no longer burn through tools and batteries like I did running yellow. the power, speed, and consistency from the milwuakee is unrivaled until you get out a pneumatic.

Well done comparison! My family has had a Paslode for close to twenty years and has helped build a couple dozen projects around our farm, from an entire 80x100 shop to roosts in a chicken coop. With a little cleaning and lubing, it just keeps on chugging through all the dumb stuff we put it through.

I've recently been able to replace my Ryobi collection with a set of Milwaukee tools, and am constantly impressed where I thought the Ryobi tools were decent and they were usually enough to get by, but the Milwaukee tools are all so much better than any other battery operated tools I've tried. Thanks for confirming once more I made the right choice and I can confirm with the one I have the results in the video are the same for me.

The sheer diversity in your comparison videos is stunning.

Once again, Milwaukee reigns champion. Thanks for the video, Todd. Every one of these videos makes me glad I own Milwaukee power tools

I've actually been looking forward to you doing a comparison on framing nailers. Your videos are awesome.

Yet another excellent video! I can't help but root for Dewalt every time simply because that's the brand I have chosen to go with (I can't stand having a mess of different batteries and chargers so I stick with one brand for everything). One of the best KZfaq channels ever - please don't ever stop! This would be a bit pricey but I would love to see a battle of some 9500lb 12v winches.

It's fun. get to watch your videos twice, once when you release them, and then again later once when I decide I'm going to go buy a specific tool.

We have both the Milwaukee and the Paslode nailers at work, and the extra weight of the milwaukee makes me gravitate toward the Paslode every time. It is a noticable difference especially when shooting nails overhead

It’s a good day when there’s a new Project Farm video.

So funny it’s almost like a sporting event, as I find myself cheering and saying “ahhhh” as I’m watching the performance of each tool. Amazing entertainment! Keep it up!

This was absolutely fantastic comparison as usual! Big thank you!

This was darn interesting to watch! One thing I would have liked to have seen as well would be a conventional pneumatic nailer included as a control.

The Gen2 Metabo dos 3 nails a second, the original does 2 nails a second. You will appreciate that wide rafter hook once you start using it, hangs over window sills, homemade saw horses, top of walls, double trusses.

Thx Mr.Todd! Always the best on your channel!

Best nailer comparison video by far! Awesome thanks

Nice review. I have used Paslode for nearly 20 years, and for basic framing and sheathing they are by far the best, and will work all day on a single charge.

Great testing as always! Not having an air hose is definitely a huge plus. For small to medium size jobs, these battery powered framing nailers are the way to go. Thanks for the video!

I have had the Paslode nailer for 8 years. It has run generally flawless. The original battery still runs the tool without fail. Simple, easy maintenance after every box of nails is easy. All big box stores, as well as your lumber yards support Paslode, so very easy to pick up fuel. No brained for me. All tools will break. I look for tools that I can quickly repair or get repair parts for.

Wow, your toughness on every test you do would make R&D teams cry. Thanks for another awesome video!

These videos are what make Sundays worth waiting for

Real wish a standard pneumatic would have been included to compare against. Especially the cold test.

I've never used a big battery powered nailer, so it's interesting to see the results of the test. Some factors you bring up are very helpful - length of the tool, time to get ready for the next nail and how consistent and deep the nail is driven. I like Milwaukee tool a lot and it doesn't surprise me to see how they've made another top quality tool! Thanks for your hard work. It's greatly appreciated!

Wow showing the way they fit between the studs was extremely helpful in making my decision.❤❤❤❤ thank you

This is really interesting because I bought the Milwaukee only because I already had their battery system. I’ve heard so many people complain about how much they hated their cordless framing nailer meanwhile I have loved mine. I didn’t realize how crappy some of the other brands performed compared to mine. Eye opening!

Thank you for these videos, some of the best unbiased product reviews out there. I try to base my purchasing decisions off of your results whenever possible! Ryobi is scheduled to release their framing nailer later this year, please add that to your tests when it becomes available!

By far the most thorough testing and consistent narrative I've ever seen or heard. Milwaukee for me...

One of my only trusted sources on the internet. Thank you

I have the Milwaukee. It's magnificent and worth managing the extra weight. I do finished basements and one battery will shoot all day. Fantastic evaluation sir. I also have all my 25 yr old Stanley Bostitch pneumatics they are bullet proof but need oiled and occasionally needed seals. Never let go of your old tools.

PERFECT TIMING, PROJECT FARM!!!!!😀👋👍

The fact that the rigid is user serviceable in the field is very cool; If the Milwaukee and metabo had that option, I'd really consider them! For now, my Paslode is doing well, but it does require a good clean from time to time to stay optimal.

Super happy with my Milwaukee framing nailer these reviews are super helpful.

Thanks for the review! This is the older model of the Metabo HPT/Hikoki nailer, they now also have a 36v version that has apparently made big improvements and is faster/more powerful

Speaking of Craftsman, recently got their 150w inverter for use with their 20V packs.. Pretty darn useful for powering LED light bulbs with a socket to outlet adapter and even those 30w super bright garage/attic type lights using the adapter. Glad to see you testing out Craftsman tools, may not be the best but they do the job.

Bro this guys review videos help me soooooooo much to pick things I have no knowledge of their performance. Thanks bro🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Earned my subscription! Straight to the facts with no extra fluff! Amazing reviews

Having used the Paslode to frame and build my entire basement, I can concur that it does sometimes leave the nails proud. But it also was AMAZING for keeping the tip planted wherever you put it. Angles or straight, it never budged. It was lent to me from a relative so I can't speak to it being worth the extra money if I had to buy one, but if you have access to it and aren't already invested in Milwaukee batteries, it's worth it.

I purchased a Milwaukee 30degree nailer a few months ago. It performs the same as you described in the video even when it was about 25F outside. I absolutely love it. The only downside is the weight.

I think it's safe to say you're one of the best in the business of this type of content. Thanks

Can't wait to see the outcome on this one. I'm buying one next week! Thanks Todd!

25 years experience framing and all other phases of Carpentry. Hands down I prefer the pasloads. Love air tools but hate hoses. Used a dewalt for a couple years but would get terrible elbow pain from the added weight when framing all day. That Milwaukee looks real impressive but I'd be scared off by the weight for sure. Thanks for the side by side comparison

Great video. I have the DeWalt framing nailers in my rental fleet, customers complain about them jamming pretty frequently. I actually used it for a project in the store and experienced it myself. I've had to disassemble them for repairs, and they work by spinning up a flywheel. When it fires the nail, it basically jams a part against the flywheel, which gets launched forward to fire the nail. This is really sensitive to lubrication and debris, and is a lot more likely to have a hard time returning to the start position if the nail doesn't fire properly than the TTi (Milwaukee and Ridgid) nailers, which basically use a built-in air compressor instead. Since Craftsman is a Stanley Black & Decker brand, I imagine it's using the same idea. Unrelately, I just watched your video on rust removers. I've been using a jar of muriatic acid based toilet bowl cleaner inside of an ultrasonic cleaner to remove rust and it works pretty well, so this has made me wonder how well other products work in an ultrasonic cleaner. ...Think you're up for a video on ultrasonic cleaner solutions? I've heard of just about as many different solutions as I've heard of people using ultrasonic cleaners, from straight water to solutions marketed specifically as ultrasonic cleaning solutions, to regular degreasers like Simple Green and even gasoline. It would be fantastic to know what ultrasonic cleaning solutions work best for different cleaning applications - dirt, oil/grease, rust, etc. Ultrasonic cleaners are amazing tools for cleaning stuff, but I've heard of people getting frustrated with them or straight up thinking that they're a scam because of using an ineffective solution, so it would be really useful to know what works well.

Hugh fan of Milwaukee, absolute love it with passion. After 3 years of trying too convince my self that the Milwaukee framer was the better I can no long convince my self the power is worth the weight. It's nice for flooring ect but when it comes too framing in general you don't need it.

my favorite nailer is the Milwakee one, already built like 4 houses, 3 sheds, and a few additions with it, like 60 thousand nails and it's still great. and will put a 3 1/4 in nail into LVL's like it's nothing. Unlike the one in this video, I have the 30 degree version

I bought the Milwaukee nail gun about 2 years ago, and I've been really impressed with it. It's put thousands of nails in wood for me. It's a little heavy, I would love for it to be lighter, but I think that also goes into why it performs so well. It's just built solid. I also have the Brad nailer and finish nailer by Milwaukee in. Both have been equally reliable and consistent as the framer.

Hey project you always reply to my comments thank you and I have been asking for this video and you delivered it shows you put all this effort in for US the viewers you really are someone we need to protect at all costs thanks Just a shame you didn’t have the makita

Thank you! I don't know anyone who owns a battery nail gun, so this was very helpful.

Another perfectly timed video release, my boss has a Brad nailer and is looking at framing nailer!

I would like to see a test on automotive/trailer winches on any of the 8k-12k lbs winches. The actual strength, speed, and amp draw. Also, the durability in mud and water would be cool to see. Thanks for doing all these tests on different products and tools. This is one of my favorite channels on yt.

As a professional joiner/carpenter nothing will ever beat the paslode. Light ergonomic and powerful. Very important when your putting thousands of nails through them a day like I do. At all kinds of angles. 👍

Thanks for presentation. I just ordered a Paslode 906300 Cordless XP Framing Nailer due to lightest weigh 🤗

This was another awesome video as always. I use nailer constantly for work and everyone I work with swears by their Dewalt or Paslode but I use all Ridgid. I would love to see the same video but with finish nailer since it will be my next purchase. Thank you for the excellent showdowns as always.

The fact that the Ridgid can be repressurized without sending it in for repairs is a huge plus IMO. I personally have the thirty degree version of the metabo which has served me well, and while it can be repressurized without sending it in, you have to buy a special pressure regulator attachment to do so.

Great tests I would never thought about the distance between studs and too length. Once again, great job!!

Need to invest in a nailer, this was naturally the only place to come. Keep up the great work!

I lifted the Hikoki and Milwaukee framers then picked up the Paslode, I bought the Paslode. The gas comes with the nails too and if you’re a home/diy user like myself it lasts all year. The weight is significant, try hanging one of the others on your belt. Never had buyer’s remorse with the Paslode.

Owned a Pasload framing gun from the day they came out. Pasload had been the leader in hose less framing guns for twenty years. Time tested. Guarantee if you buy any of the new battery guns in Five years it will be junk. But your Pasload will still work. The best always has been. Ask any Old school framer they'll tell you the same

i remember asking for this video several months ago. thanks for the time and effort

With you testing so many power tools, I would be interested in more durability testing with the tools you've recommended to see how long they last and if the cheaper tools still beat the more expensive after months or years of use as longevity is very important when comparing tools not just price. Sometime the cheaper tools may seem better at first but break before more expensive options. I know this would take a very long time. Keep up the great non-biased work.

I am a contractor, we own 4 Dewalt cordless framing guns, we believe they are the best nailers in the business. Low cost maintenance, no gas, 4 and 5 amp batteries last very long. Great comparison. Thanks for your channel, I always appreciate your test.

Hi Todd, I really like your tests, I watched a lot lately. Best parts are your videocuts and your slight smile during your explaination. Greetings from Germany! P.S.: Good thing you are also testing german brands on this channel.

I have built many decks I've never had to nail into 4 pieces composite. I have a DeWalt 21° & 30°and Milwaukee 21° & 30° framing nailers and they both work pretty much the same once they are setup right. I do like your channel and I've based some of my decisions on tool purchases because of your videos. But some of the things you put tool through never really happens in real life experiences. Keep doing the fantastic work. I did buy the Very Impressive and We're going to test that shirts from merch store.

Everyone says it but I want to say how much I love your videos. They are so entertaining to watch and informative as well. Never stop! And I also love how engaging you are with your audience.

Can't wait for Part 2 with the new Ryobi versions mixed in.

Great review Todd! Now I just need a good sale on one of them Milwaukee Framing Nailers!

I was looking for action camera comparison and found myself thinking, "I wish *That Guy* would do a budget action comparison". So I looked up your channel, didn't find cameras here. Ended up watching the nailer video. I don't even want a nailer, but watched because your typically interesting methodology. When I watch your videos, all my questions get answers.

I used a Paslode to build a few 16x25ft sheds over the years. I gotta tell you, that tip grip is super helpful. Also, it had more than enough power for what I was doing - and it didn't suffer from performance degradation. It just worked.

This video just proved what I tell everyone regarding the Milwaukee, it’s a beast but it’s freaking heavy. I’ve used a couple of the others and my Milwaukee always seems to work while others almost always have some kind of issue. I just wish Milwaukee could find a way to keep the performance and lose some weight.

The mind that continues to come up with ways to compare and test different types of tools Amazing 🤩 .

The one video I always requested. Thank you PF! 👏🏻👏🏻

Really appreciate this one as a contractor! We've always used the Paslodes, but we use Makita for pretty much everything else. Would love to see Makita included if you ever do another one!

Battery power vs "traditional power", favorite video series along with genuine vs knock-off!

Hey bud, appreciate these reviews. been following for awhile. As a company we've been having more and more issues with our Paslode's in the last couple years and we were looking to try something new. Will be giving the Milwaukee a go tomorrow.

Sir, you for flippin Amazing!! Every time I'm hunting down my next tool, there you are with a great review that ends up being my choice! Buy right, Buy once!

Ryobi’s just came out this week. I have every other ryobi nailer and looking forward to getting the framing nailer. Looks like it’s very very similar to the rigid cordless framing nailer, which gets good reviews. Thanks for all the work as always!

I am completely impressed about the quality and effort he puts in these videos, and the great ideas to make the comparison equal. The amount of time and work he put in the making of these videos makes us grateful. Your videos and contetn are awesome. keep it up!

As a contractor in the Phoenix area years ago, I liked the Paslode clipped head nailer. It held more nails than other configurations, never jammed, had a variety of nails, including the incredible holding power of cement coated nails, BUT then clipped head nails fell out of favor with inspectors, as they no longer met code. Be wary of this if you do work professionally and are subject to inspection. The depth of nail heads is also very important; over driven nails will be rejected by the inspectors.

The metabo HPT is known as Hikoki in UK and was popular on test. The framing hook on the hikoki/metbao is deliberately large so it can fit over a 4inch beam. The paslode still needs gas which is expensive and an inconvenience. Milwaukee tools are always powerful until they break.

When I was framing houses, I absolutely loved the cordless Passload nail gun

Great Review no bias in them thanks for the help

Absolutely "nailed" that review! I'll see my self out. One I've thought you've probably done is chisels? Having the right one that's sharp definitely makes an impact on the time and finish of the work!

Thanks to your videos I've recently cleaned out my power tools and restocked. My house is mostly red with Milwaukee. Just today I've bought M18 Impact and drill, also the M18 search and spot light. Looks like I'll have to invest in this too. I'll find a use for it. Maybe you can do a flashlight video? Thank you for the awesome content!

You nailed this video!

I have absolutely no use in a battery powered nail gun. But, was certainly entertaining and educational to watch what is almost required out of a nail gun. Thanks again Project Farm.
