A very quick video review
We have looked over all the video reviews and found this great short presentation on these tools. It gives you an instant idea of what to expect as well as telling you all the features and spec in and easy to understand format.
I hope you enjoy watching it as I always think its much better to see a tool in action rather than just reading about it or seeing pictures. This guy is particularly good at explaining the features and he is well known for demonstrating tools.
Nail Gun Buying Guide
There are 3 main types of nail guns that you can buy
1. Framing Nailers
Framing Nailers will use the largest nails and that can go from 50mm long up to around 90mm long. The diameters are normally between 2.8mm and 3.1mm and they are usually collated at 34° in the UK, to suit the standard 34° angled magazine on the nail gun. Typical uses for this type of nail gun include , joists, stud work, timber frame erection, soffits, floor boarding, roof decking, panelling, cladding, fencing and truss work.
2. Finishing Nailers
Finishing Nailers will use nails that are 1.8mm or 1.6mm in diameter and they will go from around 15mm up to 64mm in length. You will find that the higher the gauge, the thinner the nail will be. You can get finishing nail guns with a straight magazine or a 20° angled magazine but I find that the angled model is more popular.
3. Brad nailers
Brad Nailers use 1.2mm nails that are 10mm up to 50mm in length diameter. These brad nails are usually straight, as the nail magazines are not angled. Typical applications for brad nailers are very similar to those of finishing nailers, but the thinner 18g nail is better for delicate trims, lightweight boards and mouldings, ensuring the material does not split. The resulting hole is also much smaller and may not require any filling afterwards.
The Milwaukee Brand
The company began production in 1924, so thesetools have been around for a long time and have been proven to be one of the premium brands. Milwaukee have been developing innovative solutions that are one of the best rated for durability by professional construction users. Whether it is the 12 or 18Vcordless systems, the performance is second to none. These tools are definitely built to last and are becoming very popular in the UK for tradesmen.
Milwaukee have worked side-by-side with real users to udevelop the best solutions for a safer, more productive jobsite. Through a proper evaluation of the end users needs, the various challenges encountered on a daily basis, they set out totally rethink a solution and deliver the game-changing innovation seen across all the product lines. Milwaukee Tool is not simply a manufacturer – they are progressive problem solvers.
Best Milwaukee Battery
This is the most popular battery in the range and the 5ah models seem to be the same across all the manufacturers as they are a good mix between performance and price
A handy fuel gauge displays remaining charge
Individual cell monitoring to optimise tool run time and ensure long term pack durability
Built in overload Protection
Temperature Management System
You will find that the 5ah batteries are usually the most popular in any range. Usually you won't need anything more powerful than this, thay have an excellent running time and at under £60 they are really good value. Compared to other manufacturers, Milwaukee have manged to keep thier batteries slightly cheaper so they are very good value.
I hope this has been some help to you. We also have articles on circular saws, electric power saws, Impact Drivers and many more, if you don't think a nail gun is what you need. Or if you want to look at some other brands then go to our article on The Best Nail Gun UK for more options.
Keep in mind all these tools are bare body so you will need a Milwaukee battery and charger. I always recommend buying the original battery with this level of quality tools, that's always the best option.
