The ability to select either bounce or single fire is a must for pneumatics, and this gun does that as expected. Prior to using a narrow crown stapler, I always used a 15 and 16 gauge finish nailer, which are adequate for finish trim. As always, Amazon shipped free and fast. But for nailing lattice and other thinner material, the narrow crown staple holds much better. The durable plastic case and belt hanger a plus as well. The Milwaukee is well constructed and performs flawlessly.
had this gun for a year or so and it's started to give several misfires in a row at this point. milwaukee pneumatics have been disappointing for me overall. it was great out of the box, but i'm wondering about its long-term reliability at this point.
It has many attractive features and it operates quite nicely. I use this tool for both work and home projects and expect it to last as long as its comparable-priced competitors. Much of the tool is plastic, so don't expect an ultra-rugged workhorse like the Milwaukee tools of the good old days. The price points on this tool are pretty good. This model allows staples up to 1 1/2 inches in length--its best feature. CAUTION: This tool does NOT come with an air line nipple, so plan to have one on hand if you buy this product. Most "economy-priced" staplers stop at one inch, a limitation that will come back to haunt you.
I believe that Milwaukee is a very innovative company with the willingness to bring the public what they want. Also, a nice feature of this tool is that it is oil-less; this gives me piece of mind knowing that I wont ruin a nice piece of furniture with excess oil blowing out the exhaust and on to the work piece.I have to admit I was very skeptical of Milwaukee before I bought this tool. I own several nailers, all of which require you to adjust the air pressure to set the nail to the desired depth; with the new line of Milwaukee nailers, you can leave the pressure set high (125psi) and adjust the depth of your nail on the fly, without any tools, by adjusting a knob just in front of the trigger. I have seen the numerous outlet mall stores selling reconditioned Milwaukee tools and thought that if they have enough inventory of reconditioned tools to open a store front, I wouldn't purchase one of there tools. With that said, I think I will be purchasing the Milwaukee brad nailer next and retire my Porter Cable. This nailer changed my mind.
This is a sweet gun. Milwaukee has a loyal customer for life. Milwaukee makes the best tools for my money and no other tool maker gives a 5 year warranty. If they will stand behind a tool they make for 5 years knowing how guys like me are gonna treat it.
