    I had been using my little Porter Cable for years (I'm an occasional DIY'er), but it was developing a leak and youtube.com/post/UgkxHQsUrwNr5GQrnx9V4xDdUr56qxwui… I saw that rebuild kits were like $60-70. That's a big no for me. So I rolled the dice on this bad boy. I'm glad I did. It works beautifully. Feels great, not like a little cheap piece of junk, definitely along the lines of something I'd have expected to pay twice as much for if the brand was different. Outstanding value. Make sure you put a couple drops of oil in the inlet though, these tools MUST have lubrication.

    One of the best reviews of the Milwaukee, Paslode, Hikoki Framing nailers. Thank you!
  • Scott, thanks for all your videos this year. Happy NY to you and your family. I'm a Hikoki user.

    I’ve tried this gun for a bit after my boss bought one. It’s tough, and drives well, but it’s ergonomically kind of awkward. I have 12amp batteries for saws that I use, and it’s not too awkward. But the largest battery I’d use for those framing nailers is honestly a 2amp lol. I own a few paslode guns, and I honestly can’t switch. I respect and own all milwaukee tools, except for their framing guns. Once they become a bit lighter, then I’ll consider switching.
  • @disturbunce2335
    first review i have ever seen where i agree absolutly every point made! wow. brilliant. thanks Scott.
  • @iamhaifisch
    love ya style Scott, keep up the great vids amigo! <3
  • I’m from Canada and saw a job ad looking for carpenters to immigrate to New Zealand. Sounds like a dream come true
  • Awesome point m: years not months before a tool shows it’s worth...lol or taking it out of the box! Always nice to hear from a guy that actually uses the tools!
  • @HairyMTB
    You nailed it man :) Thanks for the great content.

    Im 25 and a builder, i had the Hikoki for a while, grew to hate it, same with the brad gun. Too heavy, slips too much, switches itself off every 15min!, the batteries go flat kinda quick, you have to push hard to get the nozzle to depress enough and its super bulky especially the head which makes it very hard to get between studs etc. Then i bought a new generation Paslode, and wow it makes you realise that the old tried and true tools cant be beat. Its so much smaller and lighter, and the angle of the tool and pointy head makes it super easy to grip onto the wood and get into tight spaces, its got more power than the older models and it doesnt switch itself off!!!! Yes it takes gas, but the cartridges fire over 1000 nails, so i dont get what the big deal is, theyre cheap enough to buy anyway. I know you never read the comments or reply, but thats my 2 cents.
  • @hazlox
    Thanks for the review! I have all dealt and bought the Milwaukee gun with the adapter off amazon
