Jimbo Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It's listed as "coming soon" so either they've decided a cordless only nailer line might be a bad idea or it's a placeholder. http://www.amazon.com/Milwaukee-7120-21-4-Inch-Roofing-Nailer/dp/B000ENJ0V8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 Almost the same one is listed on amazon with a different handle texture as 7120-21 whereas the new one is 7220-20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercorarius Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 I think Senco/Hitachi/Bostitch/Porter Cable are so well established among professionals that these are going to be a flop. I just bought my dad a new Hitachi and I wouldn't have bought a red one because Hitachi is proven. The only way you could get a roofer to pay the (likely high) price for these is to sedate them, pry their Senco from their hands, and then pay them to try the Milwaukee. Just my two cents. A lot of guys are creatures of habit and don't like change. I've used Hitachi's my whole life and it is very improbable that I'll buy anything else for more money. If they could beat Hitachi and Senco in price and performance they might be able to break even. I think Milwaukee knows this and that's why they are focusing on the cordless market and not the pnuematic tools. From what I hear the Bosch guns were great but nobody bought them and so they were discontinued. If they are trying to break into the pnuematic market I don't think a roofing nailer is the wisest tool to lead with. I dunno I guess we'll find out in June. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khariV Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Maybe Milwaukee is going big into all nailers, both cordless and pneumatic and they're counting on their name to convince people to break with tradition. I do suspect though that they'll get one and only one shot at getting these right. If these have any problems at all, even anecdotal, they'll get a rep for being unreliable and we'll see the entire line on clearance sooner rather than later.

DR99 Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Milwaukee did have pneumatic years ago but discontinued them. Milwaukee might be doing it to offer a full lineup of tools like the other brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyB Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 I have a Porter Cable pneumatic roofing nailer for years, great tool, don't use it every day but when I do it never lets me down. I think I picked it up reconditioned from Tool King way back when... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket1420 Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 They are supposed to be making a pneumatic framer too. Not really excited about that one either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khariV Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 They need to bring on the Fuel versions of a roofer and a framer so I can completely empty by bank account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
