You heard it here first.-Michael Springer Qoute from a tools of the trade magazine, sorry to hear this.I hope this isn't true.As a product line footnote, Milwaukee is discontinuing their line of pneumatic nailers in the US. This move is part of their increasing focus on tools made for their core trades users.
Overall very happy with this nailer. To hold it better I typically wrap my finger around the handle/trigger. So in the dual trigger, head against the object mode before it will fire is a safety feature to reduces the likelihood I shoot myself with the thing. Purchased this nail gun in January for an old cabin remodel job. I'd have to agree with others that it would be nice to have a carrying case if nothing else to put it in to protect it for transport. I've dropped it numerous times from heights of over 15 feet and didn't kill it, jam it, bend it etc. I've put a good number of nails through it.had no trouble finding nails for it as one review suggested. Being a female user, its lighter weight is a big bonus as is the two different firing methods.
user-error. i use a 2.6 gallon makita compressor at 120 psi and the gun seems to have trouble driving the.131 nails when toenailing. usually milwaukee is about power first and light weight second, it seems that they went the opposite direction with this tool.
i've used an old porter-cable and this one, so take this review for what it's worth.pros: light weight. used some grip-rite 21 degree framing nails (16d common) and had several jams using this gun. i don't have a lot of framing nailer experience.
not enough power. under powered gun. work fine with grip-rite 16d 21 degree nails.
easy loading.easy adjustments.cons: doesn't come with npt adaptor.
Great tool. This tool has worked flawlessly so far. I haven't had a single issue with it.
He was right. Called Milwaukee and had a very personnable rep tell me it was OK; he did the same thing & the tool worked great. I was worried about stepping the opening down.
I did a lot of research before buying. I have a Ridgid brad nailer with swivel connection. I'm a DIY'r.
I wanted to fit a swivel connection to the 7100 but all I could find were ΒΌ" connectors. Haven't had a problem. Best value for the dollar.
This was my first framing nailer so it came unexpected that the connection was not industry standard.
