Milwaukee Nailguns are Designed to Fail You (and How to Fix Them)

First Milwaukee YouTuber thats not annoying. This is coming from a Makita guy.

This was a really well-made video. In fact, I would even say you...nailed it.

Love it when you find ways to unscam a scam. Keep up the awesome videos.

always make sure the driver piston is fully extended(meaning like where it would be when shooting a nail and not going back in) before refilling metabo hpt has a maintenance mode i believe milwaukee does too or you can just make sure you install it like that when putting it back together but if you dont you will be charging a smaller portion to the "correct"psi and then when u shoot a nail the chamber opens up and your pressure is not really where you thought also if your gun is fully charged and you take it apart be very careful moving anything around because if that motor slips it will go off and you can get seriously hurt

Thanks for showing us how it’s done. Another reason to buy the Metabo HPT nail gun. Don’t get me wrong, I’m fully (over?)invested in MKE tools, but I still research many major tool purchases. As for proprietary battery platforms…I still buy a fair bit of corded / compressor-powered tools.

Love those Milwaukee lights and nail guns. most of my other stuff is DeWalt. A man in today's world has to have a few flavors in his toolbox.

Currently framing houses and we bought one as an extra for the portability and ease of use so we will see how it holds up from daily use this summer

The new Makita is also made to be self serviceable and looks awesome.

This video was a real...... nail-bitter at 210psi! SAFETY QUINTS REQUIRED!!

Thanks bro for your help ,I had 2 milwaukee 18 guage brad nailers and bought a third one but after this video I tried to fix them and it worked, you're a life saver, 👍

I feel like you could use a 90* elbow and drill a hole into the side of the casing to add a shrader valve so you dont need to take it apart everytime. Also, the thing I've noticed with those shock pumps being a mountain biker, because they screw on and it's such high PSI you always lose a good bit of pressure when pulling it off. When I do my shocks I always aim higher then what I want and when I pull it off it's closer to the actual Pressure.

As a timberframer, I top up my tank about every 18 months and I normally do 170 psi so it could sink 90mm ringshank into C24 timber. If you do too much pressure, it'll stall the motor, stop working

The kicker is their sister brand Ridgid made their nail gun fillable with a bike pump, with valve accessible after removing a plastic cover.

Amazing work! It looks like they could’ve made a the service valve a lot easier to access.

Ur gunna make it on YouTube fr I love you man just found you today. Wish you had more long videos 😢

Great job. I would have paid the 100 bucks believing I had no other choice.

Keep up the work man. The videos are great just the algorithm needs to bless you and you will make it.

HF sells an inexpensive set of security bits that cover every size and type of security screw. DeWalt uses #8 security screws in its battery cases.

Good video, great tip. One very small thing to note, I'm very sure its originally filled with Nitrogen. The molecules are larger, so leakage/seepage happens slower. Looks like regular air works, though, so, small detail

That's why I like the Metabo/Hitatchi guns with the access port and that are user refillable (and you can also add more psi easily to make it as powerful as you want). Also interested to see if the lifetime warranty on the new Flex ones includes recharging.
