  2. Framing gun

    in Milwaukee

    Posted

    I’m confused. Cordless “framing” nail gun? The market is 99% pneumatic for a reason. A few finish nails sure but for framing you’d never use an electric gun. Way too slow and charge limited. Maybe BC to frame out an electrical panel or minor plumbing rough in for stubs but it’s not really a framing nailer.

    That’s like showing up to a crane job with a come along on an A frame and a crew of HD day laborers that don’t speak English instead of a crane and certified riggers. Sure it might get it done but it’s not the right tool for the job.


    There are many benefits to a cordless framing nailer. I have been using the DeWalt since Milwaukee has not released theirs yet and the last job we had resulted being up and down on a lift. Not having to drag a hose around made a huge difference. Used it most of the day before changing the first battery. In bump fire mode it shot nailed as fast as I needed it too.

    I already had the DeWalt portable work table ($85) so I just use quick clamps to clamp it onto the table and it works great.

    It depends on how much you want to spend as well. Black and Decker are fine for minimum use, however they do not have highs quality batteries in them and must be charged frequently. If you want something that will stay charged I would go with the DeWALT or find an M12 Milwaukee impact driver

    It’s fiberglass so any super hard use may cause issues (unlike the metal framed hammers) but as far as weight and balance it’s great. Will make a good basic hammer to keep in my bag. I use a framing hammer a lot as well but needed a lighter one

    It does have to ramp up. The finish nailer would be a little slower, I have used the framing nailer and you can hold the trigger down to keep the motor going and it will shoot as fast as you want. I like the size and speed of the Milwaukee better. They just had a bad problem with jamming. I’m looking forward to the Milwaukee framing gun too!
