I perfer the old style. I don’t like the vacuum hose being exposed to sunlight and wear. That bendy plastic breaks easyily after sun stress.

Nothing will beat a tajima

Turn your gun 90 degrees to your trim the nail won’t come out the jamb.

Love this channel and everything about it except for the proffering of these stupidly expensive bags, save the money for your family, go buy your kids $400 of shares in a high dividend paying stock and let them reinvest, let me know in 30 years if your kids thank you or not

I’ve carried the Milwaukee for years. Today I picked up the Klein from Lowe’s. I do like the Klein knife. They are very similar but it’s nice to have options.

Thanks for posting this. I was just wondering about it. And your reviews are the only ones I trust, since you’re honest, actually use your tools for work, and I never feel like you’re trying to sell something. 👍

@07:49 Remember the old Senco all metal brad nailers and they topped out at 1&5/8” and I know of a lot of tradesmen that got by with that. Company supplied, and for crown moulding and custom stuff I had to spring for a P/C out of pocket, that shot 2” nails. I would say if a person could get by on the 1&1/2” limit, the M12 is smaller and more manageable in tight corners and all. But if a person has lots of Money, say like a ‘Joey Morgan,’ well then, have the M12 and the M18! 😯 😆 J/K Joey J/K Great stuff and stay safe out there!

I got bauer one and in works really good

That's the longest "Honey, I already have the same tool, but I really needed this one" I've ever seen :) Good comparison.

In Canada they’re $338 plus tax

I was really excited when Milwaukee released an m12 compact Brad nailer. I was ready to buy it just for its size and weight alone even though my 18v Ryobi is at working great after 7 years. Then I realized that it doesn’t shoot longer nails. I like using a brad nailer for baseboard and casing. I think it would be great for someone who installs a lot of cabinets or is a woodworker or needs to have 2 different guns setup like yourself.

Diablo bit holder!! Check it out

Iv just invested in one myself, iv always use corded mixer due to amounts of product I go through with my works, I was surprised by the power and it doesn't chew up battery power at all, I mix very heavy compounds like selfleveling materials HB-50S and it dose it easily as. It dose beat corded drills hands down

i was excited for this because after having surgery my wrist/hand is weak and weight is a HUGE factor but only shooting up to 1 1/2 brads just seems like a weird way to go. I may grab it if i can do a home depot battery hack with it at some point but i snagged an awesome $300 paslode nailer for like $140 and it is so light that i couldnt justify also buying the m12 at this point.

Well, that was very helpful...unless you want to avoid spending money... 🤣 The size comparison is really striking because for years every time I pick up the M18 brad nailer I think "why didn't they do this on the M12 platform?" And now they have. Weight and size are really persuasive. As you said, the only deal breaker is situations where you need >1.5" brads. The M12 pin nailer and brad nailer fit nicely into one of the Packout cooler-shape toolboxes.

Boston is a great city, my advise would be to pay a visit to Fine Arts Museum, Hardvard University and of course the Aquarium, have fun!

Im an electrician and i don’t need this, buuuut…

Try bending the wire up and away after grabbing it with the jaws, then strip. Haven't encountered issues with stripping anything doing it that way.

I don't need it. I just want it😂

I want thoes clips for m12 stapler/installation driver they don't sell them separately even on spare parts sites. They are worlds better than the m12 impact tiny one and they fit! Any leads on oem ones let me know.

I actually don't own a milwaukee nailer currently I have used plenty of them. Ryobi really does this well and for ussaly half the price. I do see value in this one for the size price be darned. I ussaly vote for ryobi brad nailers brushed are fine hp is better ($99 to $140 on sale). For outfitting a crew each employee can have a 15g and 18g for around 230 to 300ish what a deal. That's the cost of 1 milwaukee gun. If I was a homeowner or a small contractor I would just go ryobi and open yourself to a useful world of tools unless you specifically need a tiny brad nailer like this (plus the ryobi portaband is 1/3 to half the price of milwaukee or dewalt).

For the negatives why did it take nearly a year to come out! I was excited to get it when I saw it and who am I kidding I'm still getting it. The price your paying for the size and using the smaller battery platform. I can get another of m18 stuff cheaper than m12 but guess what we still all buy rhe m12 impact/surge. The 23g m12 pin nailer never had much use for 23g so this 18g will be much more useful. For me I pack alot into a packout ammo (apartment install tools jigsaw ossilating tool m12 fuel saw) can and I think I can add this in there where's any bigger no way. The milwaukee tax is high and even higher for m12 fuel kinda have to accept it. As for the brad size set your expectations 1.5 can do most everything besides 1x sheetrock then stud but at that point isn't a 18g really weak. I call this a win smallest and still gets the job done ussaly is the winner 🏆.

My research several years ago determined the Wera is impact rated. I wish I could find the reference I used back then. I would have sworn it was their catalog back then. I paid $7.99 for my Wera, so it has been a couple years. I have 15-20 of these adapters from many different brands, including the full magnetic Wera. I have 3 of the Wera you showed. They are my only duplicates for a reason. I use them in my impact driver 99% of the time, because they are easier than the built in 1/4 holder. I haven't tried that Milwaukee. I'll check it out! Thanks for a great video!

I picked up the M18 Fuel Brad Nailer on sale from the local hardware store for $205 today. Thought that was a great deal, so I jumped on it.

yes! was waiting for this one brother

Great informative video as always but it's a no from me

Great review!

Price should have been $229 like the pin nailer. That would make a better use case for the M12. I do want this, but will wait for sale. Crossing fingers for $179 Christmas sale

I bought my M18 version for the same price $249 home depot in store.I'll stick with that because of the ability to use longer nails.Nice little nailer though.

Maybe someone can have a tool only deal like Home Depot did with the new M12 circ saw that was $99 dollars tool only! Ever since I bought my 18ga crown stapler I haven’t really used my 18ga brad nailer, I tend to go for the stapler over brad nails now. Maybe Milwaukee will come out with an M12 18ga crown stapler!

Omg just show us

Agreed on nails size. I was going to jump on it when it first came out but when I read the specs, the max nail size was a deal breaker. Great review as always!

For $249, it’s a pass for me and my usage. I like all my M12 Fuel tools and lights, but I just don’t use a nailer often enough. This is why I bought a Ryobi Airstrike 16 ga nailer. No issues with it plus I don’t have to break out my compressor and air nailers.

Do want ! I like the small form factor ; I also think it will play well with the 23 ga . Pin nailer ! Personally , I find most M18 tools are just flat added too big and clumsy !

Just received mine last week. It’s surely great for tight use and cabinet installation. Beats the m18 nailer

I'm not sure we do enough nailing. Staples, yes; nails, no. I will see what Sonia says, as she does more building. We'd consider the M12, but at 18V are very invested in Ryobi; how is their nailer?

Why wouldn't you nail the reveal first???

1.5" brads simply aren't long enough to justify carrying this _and_ the M18.

😎😱😎😱😎

Does it still have a magnet? I like to have the ability for the screws to be held by the driver bit.

1st bag is definitely hvac tech, I think 🤔

What’s the point of a locking bit holder on an impact when they have a locking bit holder built in?

One is hvac probably service tech. The red and blue grips were channel locks. Not sure they still make them. The Klein crescent wrench with red grips pretty sure you can still buy at most commercial only supply houses. Two looks like a network guy. Field piece probes are pretty nice. Haven’t had any issues with mine.

I do like Leatherman and I own one but when you get price range up around $160-240 that's power tool money 😅

I got my wheeler and I love it. My SBLD should be here today or tomorrow and I’m excited for the utility. I can kit out the SBLD with my meters so I have my meters and punch down kit during those rough troubleshooting days.

TP-LDが日本に未入荷みたいですが、SB-LDを使ってるのでサイズ対比がよくわかります👍

Thanks for the video! The simple answer is that I’m a 2nd year apprentice electrician in Australia. We do a wide variety of work but primarily focus on the electrical aspect of Mechanical Services (I think you guys primarily call it HVAC in America?) and Building Management Services in commercial buildings. This ranges from install, demo, maintenance, fault finding, the whole lot etc… Hence why I have a wide variety of tools as each day is different. It could vary from low voltage, extra low voltage, instrumentation, panels, networks and data racks, control systems, fire…it goes on. Was just missing my RJ45 crimper from the load-out as I must’ve left it at site the day before, so don’t think I’m crazy to carry RJ45s but no crimper. But, Let me know if you have any question about the tools and work I do! Cheers 12:07 - BLACK DIAMOND STORM 500 LUMEN RECHARGEABLE HEADLAMP 13:35 - MARVEL MVA - 200N VA PILERS (the bread and butter of Australian pilers) 14:35 - Universal bit driver, can’t say I use it too much but has come handy in some weird situations. 17:45 - that’s just a generic brand punch down tool for keystones, the hooks are just are weird accessory they add 20:00 - Bahco SL25 1/4 set, absolutely unreal and highly recommend 20:40 - That’s a GPO (General Purpose Outlet) level, for the Aussies standard power outlet and switch cutout.

Whats that klein jumbo screwdriver looking thing in the background?

Nice ladder, they trying to sell in Canada for $350, that’s crazy

The Dewalt socket set box fits right in the top with minor shaving of the plastic on the Dewalt case. I'll post my quick video shortly
