This machine has it all. I've fired thousands of nails through this one so far, of different makes, sizes, and angles, without one jamb or miss-fire. All were driven home, perfectly seated. When everyone else's machines are fussing and whining for just this or that nail, the Milwaukee drives them all. The lack of a $1.75 air fitting and a storage box notwithstanding, this nailer performs far beyond my expectations and deserves six stars if I could give it. Above all, it's absolutely reliable. It's tops.
That's why this is such a great machine and is so far above the crowd. That's Milwaukee engineering from the people who invented the Sawzall and introduced commercial hand power tools to the world. Nobody makes a better, quieter, more solid, lighter, or more efficient nailer. There are already dozens of whiners who have mentioned the lack of the air fitting or plastic box, so PULEEEZE don't report that you were shocked when it arrived without them. Further, forget the worries about nail angles. Just stick a strip of round-head plastic collated nails (20 to 23°) and go to town. Fittings cost nothing and are available anywhere, and what's the big deal with a plastic box.
adjustable depth, with a simple turn of a wheel, positionable rafter hanger, hand-filling grip, adjustable exhaust direction, light weight, selector for bump or single firing, removable rubber no-mar foot.
Built a large shed with it that spring/summer. Keeps on tickin. Have also lent it to a carpenter/friend (Stuart Construction ` Herrin, IL). Bought this on 4/28/08. The nailer never failed. Paid $176.78 for it It is now at a friend's house for a remodel.
The Milwaukee 7100-20 Nailer has performed very well for me. The nailer worked flawlessly with 2 3/8 inch nails at all pressures and only occasionally did I have to finish the nailing with the 3 1/4 inch nails. I was concerned when I made the purchase that the required air pressure was 70 to 120 psi. My little compressor will only put out 100 psi max and drops to 80 psi before it recharges.
Trivial to reload. Oops, supposed to be 5 stars. Light for a full head nailer, easy to use. Worked flawlessly. The rafter hook slides out of the way but is useful when elevated.
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. You heard it here first.-Michael Springer This move is part of their increasing focus on tools made for their core trades users.
