A:  Most easy way is by canister on top (grey metal part on top back area surrounded by red plastic enclosure), on gen II it is exposed, while first gen had it hidden all around.

A:  Good question, Milwaukee Tool recently started advertising the new tools as Gen II. I have not observed any markings on the tools to tell the difference. Be careful of tools with lower prices or part of a tool bundle, they are usually Gen I tools.

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
