Q:What is the use difference between a finish nail gun and a Brad nailer
by|Nov 26, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Hi Dale - A finish nailer uses a 15 or 16-gauge nail, which is slightly larger than a brad nailer. Brad nailers use 18-gauge nails, also called brads or brad nails. - Milwaukee Tool, Social Team

    Q:What a different between brad nailer and framing nailer?? Which one is stronger???
    by|Nov 25, 2023
    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  Depending on the application you are performing, you will need a different size nail. A brad nailer, for example, shoots nails that are 3/8 inch to 1 1/4 inches in length, while a larger framing nailer typically shoots nails from 2 to 3 1/2 inches in length. - Milwaukee Tool, Socail Team

        Great 16-gauge finish nailer
        The Milwaukee M18 Fuel 18-volt Lithium-Ion Brushless cordless Gen ll 16-gauge straight finish nailer (tool only) is the best finish nailer I own. I have 2 or 3 pneumatic finish nailers and this cordless finish nailer out performs all of them. I really like the feel and balance of this Milwaukee finish nailer. The nailer weighs only 6 lb. and fires up to 700 nails per charge using the cp2.0 battery. It uses finish nails 1 in. to 2-1/2 in. long. I was impressed with the consistency of leaving clean nail holes and how easy it was to adjust the depth. Very high quality cordless straight finish nailer by Milwaukee.

          Works Great!
          I have never owned a Finish Nailer. I have always used a hammer. As I get older, my eyes, fingers and aim are not what they use to be; especially in the NE Cold. When it arrived, I was excited to put it to use … until I realized, it does not come with any nails. I ordered 2500 2.5” Galvanized Finish Nails. I got them for my next project; installing Dentil Molding on the exterior of the 1730’s Colonial I am restoring. Nails were super easy to install. Nice they are visible from the side (see pic). You know when you need to add more. You can adjust the Depth Settings to account for wood type and thickness. It was real simple to get the perfect depth on my test board/2x4 (see 3 holes in pic). Nail holes are relatively clean and no hammer dents. The new Gen II redesign makes seeing where the nail is actually going easy. Compatible with all 1” to 2.5” 16 Gauge finishing nails. Smaller nails will be great, when doing trim work inside. Has Sequential and Contact Actuation firing modes. Allowing single fire or rapid bump fire. Ideal for Residential, and, being FUEL, Professional use. I know my thumb is going to love me for getting this!

          Functions flawlessly
          Selected the Milwaukee M18 Finish Nailer primarily for installing crown molding, baseboards, quarter round, and trim. The first plus is not having to haul around and set up an air compressor. The nailer accepts 1" to 2.5" 16 gauge finish nails. It has the capacity for 110 nails. Two selectable firing modes, sequential or contact, make it perfect for both the novice and professional. Easy switching between the two modes. The depth control is easy to adjust with no tools required. Functions great!

            instant fire/super portable/handy on-board LED light included/handy for many jobs
            My very old and loud electric air compressor developed a leak in the manifold and replacement part is no longer available. Since I'm already on the Milwaukee platform, it was a no-brainer to upgrade my air tool to this Milwaukee M18 Fuel 16-gauge straight finish nailer. Hurricane Lee came by and blew out two of my windows, causing me to build and replace the trim around both windows and set new windows in. What a difference to use this cordless straight finish nailer without any air compressor or air hose! No more taking time finding an outlet to plug in the air compressor, find and connect an air hose to it, and wait for compressor to ramp up to correct psi. This straight finish nailer is grab-n-go! It has lots of handy features too - like an on-board LED light to make it easier to see in dark/shady areas. If you fire a nail and it has not set all the way flush or just below the surface, there is a tool-free depth drive adjustment so that the following nails shot seat properly. No need to worry about firing the nailer when you run out of nails because this nailer has a dry fire lockout feature when there are 5 nails left in the tool, thus preventing any damage to the tool. I've fired quite a few finish nails so far, with no jams. In the event of a jam though, there is a latch at the front that opens to release the jam. I really like how fast this straight finish nailer fires - no having to wait for it to ramp up like other brands. With this precise trim work, I found myself using the contact actuation mode, but this also has a sequential firing mode if the job allows for that. I can use this nailer for installing baseboards, crown molding, door casings, window sills, and even door thresholds. This finish nailer is durable, capable, and I will be looking to convert more of my air compressor tools to Milwaukee battery-operated options.

            Solid, lots of power, great tool
            This finish nailer is great! It is easy to control and is accurate. There are three features that I love on this gun. The first is the jam latch (see pictures). This is a game changer! I don’t know how many times when my gun jams; I am struggling to unjam it. This feature makes it a breeze, not that I have had this gun jam! The second feature is the power selection – the ability to control the depth is so important. Finally, the power/actuation selector is awesome. I have a few Milwaukee tools and heated jackets that use the M12 battery, so I got the M18 18-volt XC starter kit (Model # 48-59-1850) which has both battery chargers in one unit which is very convenient. It took about 1 hour for the 5.0 Ah battery to charge. With the 5.0 Ah battery this guy is a beast and lasts forever! Another awesome tool by Milwaukee!

            Great upgrade!!
            I own basically all nailers that Milwaukee has come out with over the years and I thought Milwaukee did a good job with this new 16 gauge straight finish nailer. I don't even need to get into the advantages of not having to use a pneumatic nailer, and this nailer performs as well if not better than pneumatic versions without the hassle of hoses and compressors. I have yet to have a misfire or jam with this nailer and have had no issues so far with baseboards and crown moldings. Milwaukee added an on board storage for different tips which I thought was a great upgrade to their line of nailers. Well balanced in your hand even with different size batteries. Good addition to my lineup of nailers!!
