I used this nailer to finish my basement including the oak trim around the windows and doors. It's now a valuable tool in my workshop. It never jammed. The penetration of the brads was adjustable and predictable.
I have used the nail gun quite a bit since I received it 6 weeks ago and I have yet to experience a miss fire. I also discovered that tilting the nailgun slightly forward (toward the brad exit point also ensures a properly recessed brad. I would recommend the 7150-21 to anyone. I love this product. As a few previous commenters stated, I also, had to remove the no-mar pad and file down the workpiece contact a small amount to get the brads to recess properly. I can drive all brad lengths with a maximum setting of 90 lbs pressure. Thanks Milwaukee. Great gun.
Don't get yourself sucked into buying a cheap nailer, especially one that uses both brads and narrow crown staples since you'll end up with a larger hole to fill in later. I do a fair amount of remodeling, and over the years I've learned that quality tools make the job easier and faster. The Milwaukee 18 gauge nailer is definitely a worthwhile investment. As an owner of several other Milwaukee tools, I was impressed with the quality and ease of use of the tool.Pros:-Lightweight-Powerful (make sure you keep the air pressure around 100 p.s.i).-Easy to switch depth and switch between single fire and bump fire mode (though the uses for bump fire mode when installing trim is beyond me)-Well-balanced-Oil-freeCons:-Doesn't come with necessary air fitting-Made in Taiwan (every nailer is made there, however)I haven't had any problem with the nailer improperly setting the brads. The 5 year warranty is nice, but don't expect to use it. This tool is worth every penny.
When his Dewalt was having issues face nailing,we used mine and was amazed at the price I paid and the performance. This is a great nailer. I bought this do several rooms of crown moulding and it performed flawlessly. I highly recommend this to EVERYONE My contractor buddy was installing some hardwood floors in my home and I was his laborer.
very nice gun. i would highly recommend the milwaukee line of nailers great design, all the options, light weight. only downside would be the whole countersink issue the everybody seems to experience.
