Milwaukee introduced a new nailer into their M18 platform that is sure to excite carpenters everywhere. There are very few things more amazing than a good Brad Nailer, and at first glance, this new one from Milwaukee fits the cordless bill without losing any performance. Let’s take a closer look in the New Milwaukee Brad Nailer.
New Milwaukee Brad Nailer – Standout Features
The M18 FUEL 18ga Brad Nailer has the capacity to hold 110 nails, from 5/8 inch to 2-1/8 inch. The Powerstate motor combines a brushless motor with advanced electronics for optimum power consumption, allowing up to 1500 nails to be fired on a 2.0 Ah battery. Compatible with both hardwoods and softwoods, the M18 FUEL Brad Nailer is optimized for clean nail holes- allowing minimal patching or filling to be required. The firing speed is designed to mimic the original pneumatic nailers, for quick sinking of nails with no delays. Additional features- both Sequential and Contact Actuated Firing Modes, Dry-Fire lockout, and an LED light.
New Milwaukee Brad Nailer – My Thoughts
Brad Nailers are one of my favorite tools and one of the most used tools in my shop too. They encompass a great balance of material hold and require minimal effort to hide. For finish carpenters or furniture builders, brad nailers are a great option for the fastener needs. When I saw this nailer at NPS I was fairly shocked by the amount of speed it could drive nails. In everything from Poplar to Red Oak and even Hard Maple, this nailer kept up much like a pneumatic nailer would. Of all the nailers I have used, this one seems to hold the most promise as a cordless option that has no compromise in power and speed. For devout Milwaukee users, this Nailer is a welcome update to their first generation Nailers. Like many others at the show, there was a collective jaw drop in testing. While quick testing at a show isn’t conclusive, I would definitely say this Nailer impressed me at first use. I am certainly one of many eager to get this bad boy in the shop and put it to work.New Milwaukee Brad Nailer – Additional Details
