![Framing Gun Comparison! Milwaukee v Paslode v Hikoki v Dewalt [2020]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/qNFGMsiV5Mc/mqdefault.jpg)
I don’t get it everyone complaining about noise !!! Where are you guys going to work with a nailer ??? Library?? Or a hospital full of sleeping babies ?? ITS CONSTRUCTION 🚧 is LOUD all the time !!!! !!!
Word👍🏾
Yup!
air compressors are louder
@@ScotianBlooded not the new makita compressor
People always find something to complain. Go and get some ear muff or something.
Well I hate to admit it, but I have dropped the Milwaukee framer from 10’ up, not only once but twice. To hear that big guy hit the cement I thought no way it functions. Yet it works great still. Very impressed. I use a lanyard now lol
Keep dropping it and get a dewalt afterwards
@@archael18 ya okay lol I've been using both for a long time. 30° for both. Every dewalt has stopped working in less than 6 months framing with them every day. The milwaukees haven't had a single issue. In fact dewalt has had two of them for almost a year now and can't even fix them or wont. They keep sending it from place to place making excuses. They are garbage for anything besides using them a few times a year for diy projects lol
Years later, I found your video informative. Thank you!
Great video I have Dewalt and after seeing this video I will probably just stick with the Dewalt.
I have the DeWalt 21-degree cordless. For what it is not it makes up for and what it is. Personally speaking I love the fact that I don't have to lug an compressor around and deal with a hose for small jobs. The nailer is at times inconsistent. The magazine capacity is an issue. You can't even fit two strips of collated nails in it. I have to brake a strip in half to fully load the magazine. The rafter hook is completely useless. The Dewalt 15 and 18 gauge nailers is are beasts though. No real complaints owning them. The wind up noise is a little annoying at first, but I don't even notice it anymore now. Honestly it's better than hearing a compressor run all day.
I started using dewalt tools about 12 years ago. I had all 18v line of tools now I have almos all the 20v. I have the 21° framing, 18 and 16 gauge. I love them. It gets the job done and not overpriced. I payed $200 for the framing and $100 for the finishing nailers (tool only) ($25 for a 2ah battery, $40 for 4ah) brand new from a reseller (they buy tools by the pallets and sell them cheap)
You do realise that the 18volt and 20volt tools are exactly the same? They just rate them as 20volt in the US and 18volt in places like the UK!
I have 2 of the dewalts. Just because all my other tools are dewalt. So it doesn't make since to change. Battery life is good and the performance is great. Only issue is you will definitely have to change the return springs after a long time of extremely hard use. Which is very easy to do and only costs like $20. I've had them a few years and that's been the only issue.
I honestly made a massive switch this year from dewalt to milwaukee. It has cost me thousands but if I'm being honest my dewalt tools were always breaking. Maybe it's just bad luck. I know some of my guys also treat them like shit. (That's why I don't them use them anymore) but honestly it was the best choice I have ever made tool wise. I bought the milwaukee 31° and will never look back. It only felt awkward and heavy for the first day or two. Now I will take it over any other . (Although I have Jerard the senco framing nailer is incredible but the price is insane. Either way our tools are our pride and joy at work or at home and whatever you have doesn't matter if you are getting the job done . Stay well my fellow tool enthusiasts
Is the 21 degree better than the 30 degree for fence building?
Thanks for video, i have been working with dewalt, when its brand new it shoots well, after couple months of use it got weaker and now it can only work as plywood nailer for short nails only, no more framing nailer.
It happened like this on the second gun already, so im pretty sure thats how they are. They get tired pretty soon.
Ill definitely have to try milwauke with hope that it will keep shooting with same power for much longer time than dewalt.
All you gotta do is change the Springs, takes about 5 minutes and 25$
I bought the Dewalt when it first came out because it was a 21 degree and those nails were cheaper and easier to find than 30 degree, 6 months later I bought another one. I have built several homes and a bunch of remodels with these nailers and they work great. It took a little time to get used to the timing of the "wind up" but its not a big deal. I have had problems with the return spring breaking, cheap and easy repair, but now the driver has broken on one and the other driver is worn so much it doesn't engage with the wheel (if you have seen the inside you know what I'm talking about). Now the driver is not available so I may be stuck with a bucket of parts.
One issue I think needs to be addressed is the hook, it could be better. I don't trust it hanging in the rafters anymore after watching it drop to the floor. Another thing is I wished it could drive 3-1/2" nails.
Its there one of them with the power to use over concrete wall?
I've only used a old passload so far, but both of these guns seem to be pretty capable, bump stop firing Is a luxurious thing and if you were in an awkward position you don't have to push in for a second to fire and potentially miss. Also with noise, you're likely to use earmuffs anyway regardless of what framing gun you use. I'm going to look up what these guns use for mechanisms.
Lol FINALLY! How long ago did I ask you about these haha. Love the review I’m very surprised how close you ranked them and that’s definitely more accurate. I don’t see a clear choice other than maybe what platform you’re on. It comes down to if you have to have certain unique features like extended mags or sinking the nails fully 100% of the time
Thanks for the awesome comment Austin! Had a harder time deciding on which one I liked more that I thought I would. I think they both offer different advantages but I think both do a good job bro👊
@@ToolReviewZone can you use Brad nails for trim/baseboards?
@@lavonn188 They sell a separate brad nailer, it's significantly cheaper.
I have the dewalt and it’s a good gun.. I’ve never used the Milwaukee but my coworker has the hitachi (metabo) and that thing is amazing.. I’ll pick it up over mine every single time if they’re both out.
Yeah okay
Awesome review! I use both at work and agree, the dewalt gets my vote because its lighter, quieter when firing, and better balanced. The ramp up isnt as annoying as it would seem. Both are amazing tools
quieter?... i don't know...
I have Both also and would never buy Dewalt again. Jams all the time and the ramp up is very annoying. Milwaukee is flawless. Far superior.
I have the millwaukee and find that the weight is something you get use to. It has really good punch. Which is great for hard wood. Great video
It’s like that w all tools. Once you start using them the weight goes unnoticed. Well my experience
i just got one and it is a strong beast. no more manually hammering the nails in coz it drives those suckers in!
Great review since I have all the black and yellow tools and batteries u just made my choice easier thanks
I think your the only reviewer that knows how to use the dewalt nail gun properly. I personally like the sound of dewalt nail gun
Ive had the dewalt for the last couple years, just picked up a milwaukee on clearance the other day, cant wait to try it out. For my dewalt, I had to switch to .121 nails because it just couldnt sink .131s at all. So I just shoot an extra one to meet code. On shorter nails, for whatever reason it somtimes mis-strikes the head and folds the nail over, completely marring the work piece. And it jams at least 3-5 nails out of 100. so that sucks. Excited to try the milwaukee! Though I do like that I can get the 21 degre nails wet and they wont fall apart like the paper ones. Also saw some videos of the milwaukee being able to shoot both 21 and 30 degree nails by just swapping the extended magazines... so that definitely something to think about too.
Bought 2 Dewalts . Worked awesome at first , but after framing our 5th house they were junk … and yes I know u have to get the spring kits and replace them and we did it a few times .. but they still were junk in my books . They would be good if your just a handyman but if you’re a framer stick to your air framer and hoses
I may be a little biased because I have several Milwaukee guns, but I have them for a reason. There great! I have never had any problems with any of my guns or stapler gun and love the depth settings and quiet operation.
I have the older version are the DeWalt finish gun and that little rev up actually at least gives you that second to look almost allows you to double-check to make sure you're hitting the right spot so that's not too much because obviously what I'm doing finish work I don't need rainbow mode anyways I know these are framing guns I'm just saying that I have the DeWalt and the rev up time doesn't bother me but for framing I have a few Paslode framing guns and a Porter-Cable pancake compressor it's just the noise of the compressor that's why I have such long air hoses second try to keep the air compressors at a distance because obviously you cannot communicate with someone when they're running so I need to see the tools and feeling in hand to see what I think
Metabo does 99% of what I need it to do... My coworker has the Dewalt and he always picks up my Metabo... The Dewalt flywheel action drives me crazy and frequent jams. I really wanted it to work well (Dewalt) because that's the platform I am invested in everywhere else. Love my Metabo.
For me it would be Mutombo or Milwaukee. Maybe not when this video was made with the finish guns but definitely now with their GEN2 line. The generation 1 are solid guns but 2022 definitely Milwaukee or Mutombo.
Good Video
i Picked up the DEWALT for $380 CAD - NEW !!!!
Works aMAZING
Between the two, it's honestly personal preference. They both offer exceptional tools, and exceptional expandability. For me it came down to the 5 year warranty.
Which has that?
@@marshallmcmahon4285 Milwaukee
I'm not so sure, we have 3 dewalts and they've been in for service 7 times between the 3 in the last 8 months. We've abandoned them now
I would have to agree that it’s a tie and I own all Milwaukee cordless tools, but some companies are just better at making certain tool than other companies.
That’s why when tools were all corded you bought the best tool from the company that made a certain tool better, now we are somewhat locked into one platform unless you can afford to by into more than one battery platform...
I wish we had some type of alliance system here in 🇺🇸.
The only good thing about not have an alliance system is you get more competition.
Great point.
I’ve got a new Gen Dewalt 30 and the 21 Milwaukee. The Dewalt feels lighter and I don’t mind the spool up, but both are great guns. Milwaukee definitely toenails better with 3”+ ring shanks.
I run them both using Makita batteries though, haha… adapters available on Amazon for around $20
My opinion Metabo Hpt Hikoki is best one but its unknown on Milwaukee if I can ever try the 21 degree and over time know of any bugs. Metabo Hikoki hasn't had any problems over time and works great.
Big weight difference from the paslode which can just hang off your belt
I've had my DeWalt since it came out and love it when I first got it it jammed about 25% of the time I hated it and even stoped using it but about a year ago started using it again a lot and hasn't jammed yet I think it was the nails but love it and I find myself using it more and more great info
I’ve learned to love the sound that the dewalt makes when it revs up! I have both Milwaukee and the Dewalt 18 gauge trim nailers and the Milwaukee worked great for a month and then stopped sinking nails. The Dewalt is almost 2yo and works like the first day. I don’t know if that translates to the framing guns but it’s something to take into consideration
I love my dewalt finish nailers, way better than my Milwaukee, but the 21° framer sucked, couldn't even sink toekicks in standard 2x4s, I'm switching to Milwaukee for more power
Sounds like you had a lemon. I prey mine keeps working like a hoss like it has been.
Why not just exchange it? They come with 5year warranty
I have 25,000 nails shot through the m18 18g gen 2 and it's still like new
Okay fanboy sure
Being a Milwaukee owner I have to admit that weight is a huge factor in everyday usage. I know a guy that bought one and is a full time framer. He used it one day and got ride of it because it was to much to work with on a daily basis. Both are great nailers. I will end up getting the Milwaukee since that is my battery line and because i am not a full time framer just a renovator/ DIYer. If I were a full time framer I would probably go for a Pasload as it is the lightest.
I needed this! Thank you!
I've owned several of the Dewalt guns and put them to the test on framing sites over the years. They work good, but they're so fragile compared to say my Paslode gas nailers. The only thing they have going for them over Paslode is the no fuel cell thing. I've had to send the Dewalt in for repair a few times due to 8ft drops onto wood subfloor. I can honestly say I've never broke a paslode from dropping it other then a battery that got ejected out of the gun when the gun rolled down a flight of stairs once. The hook on the Dewalt really sucks also. It's plastic and flexes under the weight of the gun on your belt unlike Paslode. So it's too easy to drop when climbing around. I'll be buying this Milwaukee next purchase over the dewalt just because the hook issue and the Milwaukee seems to be a more rugged design then the Dewalt.
I know you are right about what you said about the Dewalt but I am still curious how the newer one would fare. Perhaps another tool duel later in the future with metabo and Paslode
Most of my tools are dewalt but I did buy the milwauke framing nailer as it appeared to be superior in the reviews that I watched though you are now putting a nit of doubt in my mind,I am happy with it though! I, clearly not one of these saddotool brand fan boys.
It was bloody expensive though at £660 around $850 with two 5.0. Ah batteries,I could get both the dewalt framing and finishing nailers for that kind of money!
This video had me riveted. I think you nailed that comparison. 🤪🤪👊👊
Hahahaha, great word play there bro lol
HD had two dewalts kits on mark down from $399 to $100 3-10-22. Bought one! Been using a 1996 Porter Cable framer and the last deck I wish I had this guy! Had to drag all the air tools shit around back a condo by hand, everyday no lock up.
Does Milwaukee use 30 paper collated nails up to 3 1/2 inch long? I just had to return Metabo framing nailer and have a bunch nails 3.5" long, so I'm looking for a right nailgun :)
I don’t have both and have never used the dewalt. When I bought my Milwaukee, I was actually looking for the dewalt but I couldn’t find it tool only. Oh well. Wooky me. It is very heavy feeling, but it straight up sinks some nails. It definitely beats the estwing model though.
I have the dewalt 18 gauge and it hasn't let me down yet. I'll be getting the dewalt framing nailer next
I think it comes down to which platform you use. If you have a ton of DeWalt batteries, why would you go the other way? Nice vid!
My thoughts exactly, my dad has dewalt tools so why would I be an asshole and buy him a milwaukee nailer for his birthday.
I made a choice for that very reason today went with dewalt it also came with battery to add to my collection lol
They have an adapt to interchange batteries. Using a dewalt on a Milwaukee visa versa
I was about to say the same thing. They interchange
Never heard of adapters😂
Used desalt nailer to make my dads tree house /deer stand 8ft by ft 18 ft to floor! Desalt work fine! All my tools grarge Milwaukee so when got the m18 nailer works good to!
So it's mainly up to personal preference and which battery system you have
21 degree nailer is good. It’s not for walls ( massive homes/dirt framing etc...) but from plumb and line forward it is decent. No hose makes it worth the money. Easy to adjust, easy to use. Basic tool but it’s just like saws-no cords no hoses means faster to the beers--sabes?
Just saw this review...I have used the Dewalt, never the Milwaukee. To me the Dewalt is just a little underpowered for driving 3 1/4+ nails. Otherwise great nailer. Just at those length nails it couldn't quite seat them, so had to follow up with hammer. Still prefer to pneumatic because I don't have the continually droning compressor driving the neighbors (and me) crazy. Thanks for the great review. I may try the FUEL nailer, more because I have batteries for the lineup and other fuel tools now as well, which I LOVE!
EDIT: I also deal with infrequent jamming with the longer nails using the Dewalt.
The Milwaukee is crazy powerful. It's now my go to even though a bit heavy 👊
@@ToolReviewZone Even with weight, you still aren't yanking a cord. I'd choose power over ergonomics, I think...
I hear ya. Milwaukee is the way to go for sure then
I have been waiting for the miracle M18 framer, but disappointed with weight and bulkiness. I will always love my paslode pneumatic framer...pop...pop...pop...done.
I would lean toward the dewalt. The milwalkee tip is deceiving where nail comes out below tip. Dewalt tip keeps you focused on center. Im an Old school carpenter. Manual adjustments vs tech touch pad, tough to adjust in cold weather with hand shoes on...I would rather flip switch like Dewalt
I watched one reveiw and they said the extend mag made it more balanced the Milwaukee 21 degree has a longer slide from factory like the dewaltthey both look to be great nailers the Milwaukee looks to be a metbo nailer just red
Thanks for the into and comment Scott! Glad that the longer clip balances it out a bit. All in all, great nailer
I tested the Milwaukee ands its very heavy, ive had the dewalt for years and its a great gun
What is the differnce or should I say what are the differences between these three brad nailers,15 gauge,16 gauge and 18 gauge.I really want to know so that I will be well informed to know which one of them that can do a crossover which ofcourse is the model that I will buy.
I can only go off of what I have. I bought the Milwaukee nail gun a few weeks ago It was between that and a air nail gun. The reason why I got the Milwaukee is because I didn't want to run my compressor inside the house and I already own Milwaukee tools so the rite move was to get the nail gun I have battery's for.
I’m gonna stick with my tried and true paslode bro been working no problem for over 6 years now and I love it and it’s super light
Also cost more to use and need to be cleaned regularly to keep working.
Paslode owns both of these guns. I returned the DeWalt after using it for one day. 8 out if 19 nails were either left 1/2 " above wood or were bent.
Does anyone know when the 21 degree milwaukee nailer comes out in the UK? Havent seen it being sold anywhere.
we have 5 dewalt framing nailers and they crap out consistently within a few weeks and have to be constantly sent back for repairs. never owner a Milwaukee but I'm really anxious to have one. we do own one paslode and it out perfoms all 5 dewalts. just like to do away with the gas cartridges paslode has.
What is your platform of choice. Both are good nailers.
good morning. Sorry about the question.
i'd like to buy one nailer.
better to battery or air?
better Dewalt Hikoki Milwaukee?
Milwaukee is leaving everyone in the dust due to all the acquisitions in the industry. They keep turning out better tools month after month.
Which looks cooler though? ⚡️
Milwaukee has a over heating issue.
Also buddy has cooked a few batteries in 30 days vs Dewalt fix every 6 months 🤷🏼
Dewalt for the win🤷🏼
I have several Milwaukee and use them daily and never had an overheating issue out of 5 so not sure what your friend is doing wrong but I don't see that with mine
Thanks for the video. Looking at buying at nailer. What is the main difference between a 21° and 30°? Advantages or disadvantages?
One disadvantage of 30 degree paper strip is if they ever get wet theyre only good for hand drives.
Love the Milwaukee. At the end of the day, it comes down to what battery brand you invested on.
Wow! Excellent video. 👌🏼
Thanks Osman!!!
We have the dewalt nailer and it jams pretty often, we had to return it twice because the power was giving out within 2 months but other than that it works great
Mine does too, getting annoyed might just get air gun
Well since I don't own neither, I would probably go with the Milwaukee. That rev-up on the Dewalt would drive me to madness!
Sorry about all the comments at the end of the day it's going to come down to which batteries you have more of if I had to take a pic from justice video say this was a giveaway hint hint LOL but I would go with the Milwaukee just because that's the tool brand I prefer so I have the batteries except the chop box and table saw I will always go with the DeWalt they make the best
You can leave as many comments as you want brother 👊👊👊
He gets paid per comment ;-)
I’m just happy we have some competition. I got my 30 on Friday. I got the kit and bare tool. Using it next weekend. Can’t wait to use it.
You will really like it Matt, and yep, I agree buddy 👊👊👊
Thanks for the video, the explanations and tests were great.
Thanks Philip!!!
I own a DeWalt framing nailer and when they came out I watched some reviews of the milwaukee was going to buy it online then tried it at the hardware store I picked it up and put it down that was enough it feels like a tank heavy is an understatement if you go for pasload to milwaukee you'll notice the difference
Surely the best two would be the Hikoki & Milwaukee 😶
Absolutely dewalt nail guns are shit I wouldn't even consider them to be in the top 4.
In construction 30 years and know balance is huge. My old joints (wrists, elbows, shoulders) need balance over weight any day. If your a pro you know exactly what I'm talking about.
So witch one do you recommend
@@SBDETAILS805_SERVICES balance
What is the maximum and minimum size nails they can use . Length and diameter ??
The Senco is released next month. BTW, the Senco comes from a company that actually makes their own Framing nails in the USA from USA Produced Steel Rod at their own factory. The new Senco Tool will be field serviceable and will use their next generation Fusion Technology, which uses pressurized air to drive your nails. This system is far more predictable with depth of drive over the cone clutch (And much simpler). Cone clutches use cables connected to a driver and a transmission system that you need a masters degree to repair. The Senco will also drive a .148 Shank Nail. No matter who's non-butane cordless gun you purchase, you are more then likely using Senco Original Technology.
What is the difference between 21 degrees and 30 degrees in nailers? Thanks in advance
A lot of it be is what battery platform you already have DeWalt or Milwaukee both be great just brand you run DeWalt all the way
I would like to get my hands on that red beast. I have had almost the same Dewalt nailer for about 5 years, it has gone trough hell. Many dirty job sites and I have made over 3000 potato boxes with it. I have had only few small problems with it: Screws walk off, easy fix just little bit locktite. Magazine jams when used in dusty job sites, spray silicone grease works great. Sometimes when you have two clips of nails in, it will fire two nails and jam.
I think alot of people will go with the brand they already run the most I'm going for the DeWalt one I think it be a great tool and two I'm not wanting to buy any other battery platform I've already got close to 2grand in DeWalt battery platform and tools
You may have just sold me on the Dewalt for finishing my basement! Thanks for the video!
Don’t get the desalt mate, get hikoki or Milwaukee, I’ve got dewalt, it’s terrible
These Milwuakee fanboys are so militant. The moment you mention Dewalt NHHAAAAHHH GET DA MILWUAKEE RED FIRE ROCKET GOGOGO YEAH
Which one? The 20volt 30degree or 21degree? How old is it?
I had the Dewalt but I could never get it to sink the nails consistently. 2 out 3 nails I had to hammer the rest of the way in so I just went back to ol reliable, the Hitachi pneumatic.
Thanks for the feedback Jeffrey!!!
Was it latest model of Dewalt? There are 3 different version from that same nailer and latest is most powerful and reliable also much heavier.
@@mr.wizeguy8995 it was about a year and a half ago and it was the newest model at that time. I don't know if they've came out with a newer version since then or not cause I can't remember the model number. I hope they have cause I loved not having to drag around the compresser and hose.
But I do remember that it was heavy. It was like using a cement block for a nail gun lol
I’ve found using dewalt brand nails with the nailer works better. Shouldn’t make a difference I am aware. But I’m just letting you know what I’ve found.
Ive got the Dewalt, it worked for a while and then started giving me trouble. Miss fires, jams. All the contractors i work with have them and they arnt holding up. But who knows how long the Milwaukee will last
What’s the idle rest time on the batteries
I've had 2 of the dewalt framing nailers, they have let me down, dewalt should be ashamed of themselves for these nailers. That being said, I have been a dewalt fan boy for a long, long time. I chucked the dewalt nailers and got the hitachi 30° framing nailer and that thing is a beast. I have not tried the milwaukee but I would love to, it seems it would be more comparable to the hitachi or matabo hpt now.
Thanks for the feedback Jake!
Jake I bought the Dewalt as well the thing worked fine for about two days, then the driver wouldn't return thought that a spring had broke, but not the case I had no idea so ended up replacing it with the Milwaukee, I have to say I love this tool! Hats off to Milwaukee
Which dewalt did you have? The 21 degree or the 30 degree? Also how old were they?
@@stultsn 30° and less than 6 months old.
I’m glad I bought the 21 degree. I love it so far. I pray it keeps running like a hoss.
I had a DeWalt previous to my new Milwaukee I find the new Milwaukee is too heavy and wish I had stepped up to the new generation the wall the only reason I didn’t was I had some issues with getting the DeWalt repaired on a regular basis
You should of tested the rater hooks to show how worthless the Dewalt's is. I just bought the dewalt and have barely used it and its already having problems. But it really comes down to which batteries you're invested in. I wish i went with milwaukee
I like them both. Great platform on each gun. Will it be weight or consistency as a factor?
How is the recoil on the two?
For the job I do i prefer to use my air nail framing gun, but if I have to choose between these framing guns 🔫 for sure I will go with DEWALT!!!!!!
Do they come with extra batteries? That's very important to me. Not convenient to have to wait 2 hours to recharge your battery to finish the job
The dewalt nailer I bought jammed every 4 nails and even after putting on 2 and adjusting the depth, with a full battery, didn't drive the nail little more than half it's length. Took it back and went back to air nailer.
I’m a huge DeWalt guy, but i use that Milwaukee daily and it is absolutely wonderful
You should try nail few lsl's together and lvl's then you'll see the difference
Yes that is the one major advantage.
i was diehard dewalt guy but after having nothing but problems with dewalt nailers tried the milwaukee nailer and havn't had a problem with it yet
I have the dewalt framing nail gun and the 18 gauge trim gun . Save yourself the money and buy the Milwaukee. The dewalt has less power and both jam way to much . The Milwaukee was able to shoot threw cement siding and into the stud , my dewalt wouldn’t sink one ! The trim gun dosnt always sink the nail and leaves marks in trim . Cleaning them frequently helps a lot but working along side my buddy With the red platform I see the difference first hand . I also bought there xr impact and drill set and the impact won’t hold bits within a year and the drill won’t even move the chuck . I still like the 60 volt tools I have but the quality isn’t what it should be . Look at there old 18 volt trim guns and staplers they kept the old system w old problems and made it look cooler and more expensive.lmk if anyone else had these issues .
Game changer for dewalt is the new powerstack 1.5ah battery. Has the draw amperage of a 6ah but weighs almost nothing. So the ramp up time is super short without having to slap a 4ah+ in it
You should of talked about what platform you already have which I have Milwaukee so probably not gunna start a new battery platform, all good though
I have both of these and like them both, but the Dewalt will not sink into glue lam beams or Advantech subfloor like the milwaukee.
I'm sure that both nailer are good but people who have one brand or the other will most likely stay with that due to the fact that changing brands would cost a fortune. If companies really wanted to compete they would make all batteries universal and contractors could buy different tools in different brands and not have to change there whole setup. Great video.
You can instead buy a battery adapter Milwaukee to dewalt and vice versa. It costs only 15 euros
If you have a dewalt platform buy dewalt and vise versa.
I bought milwaukee because I thought it was way better but wasn't worth it as I have everything dewalt.
I like the dewalt flywheel so I know how often I can nail. When sheeting with the milwaukee i would shoot to many times because it has no noise and in turn didn't sink the nails in all the way.
The reason the Milwaukee split the wood it was to close to the edge and the same grain
Buy based on the batteries I have, but have used the 18 gauge Milwaukee gun once and it couldn’t sink 2 inch brads...
Gen 1 or 2? My gen 2 hasn't failed me yet.
Fwiw ,I have the Dewalt, it is not bulky like Milwaukee etc. It has a simple drive system that is self serviceable. It is powerful and reliable, it is everything I need in a nailer.
*WHICH ONE USES THE BATTERY UP FASTER? AS SOON AS DEWALT BATTERY LOSES A LITTLE POWER, THE NAILS ARE NO LONGER FLUSH*N WHICH DRIVES MORE NAILS -PROPERLY, PER BATTERY
Just switch the battery...problem solved
Love the vid. However, the best nailer is the Hitachi or metabo or whatever. The green one at Lowes. There's your next duel.
The metabo hpt should easily be in the mix
True words
I’m just waiting for the delivery of my Milwaukee framing nailer after almost one year waiting ( I almost was going to get a Hitachi framing nailer ) ... but DeWalt would never be on my list for this kind of tool ... I don’t like the flying wheel system and the noise and the delay when u send a nail down
Here the hikoki/metabo hpt twin nailer set is around £800 with two 5.0ah batteries. The milwauke framing nailer alone with two 5.0ah and the extended clip cost me £660, it's milwauke that are the rip off!
