I had been using my little Porter Cable for years (I'm an occasional DIY'er), but it was developing a leak and kzfaq.infoUgkxHQsUrwNr5GQrnx9V4xDdUr56qxwuiBHt I saw that rebuild kits were like $60-70. That's a big no for me. So I rolled the dice on this bad boy. I'm glad I did. It works beautifully. Feels great, not like a little cheap piece of junk, definitely along the lines of something I'd have expected to pay twice as much for if the brand was different. Outstanding value. Make sure you put a couple drops of oil in the inlet though, these tools MUST have lubrication.

Im 25 and a builder, i had the Hikoki for a while, grew to hate it, same with the brad gun. Too heavy, slips too much, switches itself off every 15min!, the batteries go flat kinda quick, you have to push hard to get the nozzle to depress enough and its super bulky especially the head which makes it very hard to get between studs etc. Then i bought a new generation Paslode, and wow it makes you realise that the old tried and true tools cant be beat. Its so much smaller and lighter, and the angle of the tool and pointy head makes it super easy to grip onto the wood and get into tight spaces, its got more power than the older models and it doesnt switch itself off!!!! Yes it takes gas, but the cartridges fire over 1000 nails, so i dont get what the big deal is, theyre cheap enough to buy anyway. I know you never read the comments or reply, but thats my 2 cents.

I’ve tried this gun for a bit after my boss bought one. It’s tough, and drives well, but it’s ergonomically kind of awkward. I have 12amp batteries for saws that I use, and it’s not too awkward. But the largest battery I’d use for those framing nailers is honestly a 2amp lol. I own a few paslode guns, and I honestly can’t switch. I respect and own all milwaukee tools, except for their framing guns. Once they become a bit lighter, then I’ll consider switching.

I feel you, because of the batterie Eco system of milwaukee I stuck with their nailgun. Having a 3d printer I made me a base for the nailgun so it stays up when putting it down. I made different little feet which aren't noticeable in size and color so it doesnt fall down. When it's upside down or in normal position without a battery. Saved me a lot of time. Also the 3d printed plastic doesn't damage the underground surface. Price for the feet I made are about 20€cent. Size of the feet about 1cm (about 0.4in) in width and height.

Doing as much framing as Scott is doing on his current project I would set a compressor and hoses. With that much framing to do you can't compete with pneumatic power. Besides he will be there a while and not like you have to load the compressor in and out of the van everyday. I would only be using the cordless nailers it cramped quarters like the attic, roof, a crawl space with limited access or small amount of framing. Not only that most pneumatic naliers hold two strips of nails at a time. Just my two cents or nickels, sinse Canada doesn't have pennies anymore Good video though Scott great info for those interested.

I just recently bought the Milwaukee gun. Been using DeWalt for years and decided to gain a second battery system which will allow me more flexibility and options when buying further tools. Now I can buy which every red or yellow tool is better. First day on site it needed to laminate together two 50mm wide LVL boundary joists. Two of the guys paslodes struggled to get nails halfway into the timber whilst the Milwaukee ploughed through them. Ended up nailing an end and then handing the Milwaukee across to the other chap to do the other end each time.

@shifty277 3 жыл бұрын

My thoughts exactly I have never had any qualms of using two battery platforms then you can always choose the better designed tool in each category - i.e I prefer Makita's combi drills and impacts but prefer Dewalts angle grinders and multi tools etc etc.

Same. Most my stuff is DeWalt, but wasn’t about to buy their framing nailer. I tried the Metabo from Lowes, but I think I got a bad one, the rubber was coming off the handle. Sent it back and bought the Milwakuee. Now I have more options. Love it so far.

Any other time, I'll use my old Hitachi pneumatic.

I went with the Newest Paslode CFN325XP, for the fact Paslode is designed and ASSEMBLED in the U.S. and not made in China then sold for almost the exact same cost(something isn’t right there). The Milwaukee didn’t come with a hard(or soft) case anymore(at least not at my store), Paslode has been building (and constantly improving) nailers forever it seems. The maintenance is pretty simple, it’s only like 7.5lbs and the newest model is a beast! The gas is a downside, but at $13 U.S. I can handle that every 1000 nails or so. I may try a Milwaukee or Ridgid once they’ve been put through the paces and earned their stripes. I’ve just had bad experiences with battery nailers(Dewalt mainly, that thing isn’t worth the box it came in). I’ll give the Milwaukee a few years, that’ll tell all in the long run. Until then I’ll stick with the American made tried and true Paslode brand! Good video Scott!

For me it’s pretty simple- it really depends on what job I’m doing to what gun I pull out. If you are framing walls all day I roll out the hose and use an Paslode air nailer- it’s light and shoots all day. If I’m installing trusses nothing beats my Paslode gas gun, it’s super light and hangs on your belt or a truss easily, and into Pine here in Australia it’s powerful enough. But if doing renos or small jobs like building a bath hob the battery only guns are great but way too heavy to use all day. I’m a Dewalt man through and through but their framing gun is the pits. It’s really the only tool they do I’m not happy with. I actually love my Dewalt battery fixing gun- the tip on it is perfect and the gun itself is almost comparable to a air gun. Have a great Christmas everyone.

@philhines 3 жыл бұрын

I’m slightly miffed with Milwaukee about one thing: when they announced the gun, last year the numbers I saw said theirs would be 2kg lighter than the Hikoki. Then when they released it I saw numbers saying 1kg lighter. Then when I got my own it was basically the same, or in fact as you have pointed out a bit heavier than the Hikoki. Considering I had to pay more for it skin only that the Hikoki costs with a 2 battery kit, and so had to buy another tool with a 2 battery kit so I could actually use it, I’m pretty annoyed. Milwaukee tools are good quality, but I’m a poor apprentice and I would have got the Hikoki framing nailer kit if I had known all I know now. Ps, it’s a bit of a bloody workout holding that up high to shoot nails. But at least it doesn’t misfire every 10th nail or need gas like the Paslode.

Its very heavy but i can recommend whole heartedly. absolute workhorse! Never misses a shot. Instant no ramp up Runs cold. Has the extra power to skew nail blocks, junctions, noggins etc subflush. Less nail punching during plain/straighten. And 90mm nails flawlessly into hardwood FLUSH I question how well milwaukee will bounce if droped, paslodes are incredibly resilient. 2 stories onto concrete still goes after some panel beating. Milwaukee i suspect would be a different story. Rep has told me 50000 cycles Milwaukee's need regassing, so will this mean a gradual loss in power as nitrogen escapes past the seals, or does that begin after 50000 cycles?

If I was younger I would use a battery framer great advancement. But I am old and their only real downside is the weight. My hands after 40 years on site are knackered and they are just too heavy for me so I stick to Paslode. Yes they are gutless compared to the new battery models. The new ones are not any better despite Paslode claiming they are. Still won't work on Aussie hardwood. Also I agree the maintenance is a big issue and my last two guns have had serious faults right out of the box. One gun repaired three times in just over a year and still not perfect. Paslode were also far from helpful. Synopsis being if your young or don't have buggered hands go battery. Paslode's days are numbered. Just wish the battery gun designers had to use them on site every day and lug them around on roofs they would soon make them lighter. Test firing flat on a bench the bulk isn't so obvious.

Also to fix hook issue go see a welding/engineerimg company small firm should make a bracket in like 15 to 50 minutes Worth the wait outfront if you have or make the time.

Two years ago I was getting ready to buy a Paslode when the Hitachi guns came out. RR buildings gave it their top review so thats what I bought. Since then I have bought quite a few Milwaukee tools and if I was going to buy a new nail gun today I would go with the Milwaukee. However, the Hitachi is still going strong and has not given me any reason to change it out. Since then I have bought the whole line of Hitachi guns including the little pin nailer and they have all been first class guns.

I have the Hikoki and had the same problem with slipping when skew nailing, I gave the inside of the nozzle claw a touch up with a file and it is way better. Also had to make my own hook as the European version comes with the huge rafter hook. Thanks for the videos Scott, They make for great watching!

@nowerries 3 жыл бұрын

Just bought the Milwaukee after I sent the new Dewalt 20v cordless nailer in to get serviced because it no longer fires overhead. Owned the Dewalt less then a year. The Milwaukee is a little heavier and I find the belt clip is in my way when I'm nailing walls on the ground but I'll get used to it (if you pull the trigger with your thumb when nailing close to the ground you'll understand). Honestly might take the belt clip off because the Milwaukee does have a sky hook which will get used more. The Milwaukee is a little heavy to be walking around with it hanging off your belt, but if you set it down with handle up and tip down then it does stay balanced which is nice cause it's sitting the exact way you pick it up. The fact that nail shots are preloaded after firing means no holding on to a trigger too long and the gun not firing when you go to actually fire like the Dewalt one. Also unlike the Dewalt the Milwaukee sinks 3 1/4" ring nails into hard timber each and everytime. Also the Dewalt hates the cold and Milwaukee does better.

One of the most intelligent reviews I have ever seen on KZfaq. Only a few talk about the battery system when talking about these tools. I chose Milwaukee because my first tool set was a drill and driver combo. I am using both the m12 and m18 system. Milwaukee has the most robust choice of tools for all professions. Rigid and Dewalt as well...try finding a propress press tool for instance (its a plumbers tool)
