what can I say! This is the best air nailer I have ever owned! I have Senco's BEST finish nailer and it is a distant second fit, finish and feel to my Milwaukee brad nailer.
br /I only regret not being aware of the Milwauke line up before I purchased my Milwaukee!

First time ever using a nail gun and I was imediately impressed. Not one Jam up and smooth operation. Light and very little recoil.
br /
br /I did look at the dewalt brad nailer and I also love Dewalt tools, However this tool was favored a little more than the Dewalt. Price difference between the two tools was nothing to compare almost equal.
br /
br /I can tell this tool will last. One more thing to add is Milwaukee has a warrenty for three more years than Dewalt. That is a total of five years. Dewalt only two.

Like other magnesium headed brad nailer's this gun produces almost no recoil. Another great feature, not publicized, is that it will not fire without nails (dry fire). The only minor problem for users of other guns is that the safety is behind the actual place the nail is fired from...but after a very short time you will be used to that. The no mar head on the safety is very good too. All in all a great gun...I ordered a second one already. [I am a finish carpenter by trade of 30+ years]

I purchased this item with the Milwaukee angled finish nailer. As I mentioned in the finish nailer review the Milwaukee nailers are similiar in design to the Ridgid in my opinion. You will need to purchase and install an air fitting for this nailer. I installed a swivel connector similiar to the one on the Ridgid nailer which is available at most home and tool centers. The brad nailer is well balanced and has a magnesium housing. The unit comes with a nice cary case that holds your brads also. The operation is fine and what I would expect from a quality tool.

This is a great brad nailer. It is light and well balanced. I like the fact that the air discharge is out of the handle below the air intake. I have used it to build several cabinets and it is fun to use. I have not had a single mis-fire or had to hammer in a nail. It has a sequential fire mode which seems to work well, although I usually use the single fire mode. Awesome tool.

This tool is a typical Milwaukee tool. Everyday you pick it up, it works. It has great power and effortlessly drives 2 inch brads in solid oak. I've been running on 80 - 85 psi which is more than reasonable. The depth adjustment is not precise, but most aren't. On balance, a good nailer at a cheap price when you consider how long it is likely to last. Many are cheaper, very few are better.

This nailer is all it said it would be. I am a contractor and have been useing a grip rite nailer. It would get into tighter places then the Milwakee but after every 50 nails you would have a jam. How nice it is not to have to un jam a gun. I have shot probably about 1500 nails already and never one jam how awseome. Now for the miner problem, when I got the nailer it didn't seem to always want o set the nail unless I had the gun kinda tiped forward it was like the safty would not go down far enough even after adjustment I had the problem. It might have been that my old nailer sat different but none the less I was disapointed. After messing with it awhile I was able to modifie the safty alittle higher and have not had a problem sence. I highly recomend this nailer.

This was purchased to replace a Bostich which failed prematurely.
br /The unit is light weight and drives 2 1/2" nails in maple without effort.
br /All features are well engineered. Loading, setting depth, and jammed nail removal are all simple.
br /It also comes with a decent case.
br /Get a urethane hose to go with this and you might forget you're attached to a compressor.

This is the first nail gun I've ever used, but I think it's great. It's very light, easy to use, and doesn't jam. I used it to install baseboard, crown molding, and door/window casing. It made everything go so quick and easy. I used both the included 1.25" brads and also Stanley 1.75" brads also worked perfectly. The no-mar tip is outstanding. I used it with the MAC700 compressor from Makita (also great) that I bought on Amazon as well.
br /I think it's an excellent combination. It doesn't come with the 1/4" NPT connector like the Rigid gun, but you can pick one up at the home improvement stores for just over 2 bucks. I'm very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone.

This little brad nailer is sweet. Smooth and reliable (so far), and not too loud. I've used 1.25" and 2" brads with no problems.

Great gun, thousands of brads shot through it. Works best on work with a relatively flat surface for the nosepiece to rest on. I wish they would make the nosepiece pointed like my bostitch. I actually had to pull my nose pad off and file my down a bit because it wouldn't set brads deep enough in some materials, and I had plenty of air pressure behind it. After putting the pad back on works great. The hook was a great idea freeing up an extra hand is always great. I am impressed with both of my milwaukee guns and going to try more.

If I could give this nailer a six I would. It's light, well built, jam free and, the color matches my eyes. Great deal at Amazon.

This gun is everything it is advertised to be and more. The ease of loading, setting depth and overall smooth operation makes all the jobs I have done with it so much more pleasurable. This lightweight gun will never tire you out no matter how long the job goes.

First time user of air nailers so only speaking from my first two months with this nailer. Have not had any mis-fires, it is very smooth with little kick-back. One of the lightest gun in this category but feels solid. I've only used this in single mode so far. So far, it's been perfect on trims and cabinets. Made by Milwaukee, they make great tools

I bought it based on the reviews I found here. Thanks! It has lived to my expectations in every way. It is light and easy to use and it took me all of 5 minutes to read the manual and understand how to use it. The controls are precise and easy to operate and it can use brads made by several manufacturers without problems. I bought it to install baseboards and a 1/4 plywood overlay over an existing floor and it worked flawlessly. I'm very happy with my purchase.

This is a quality product and very consistent. I have driven brads in a variety of materials and it sets the nails at the desired depth every time. Exhaust is easily adjustable by hand. Reliably shoots the Chinese nails sold on Amazon. I only wish they would supply an air fitting with the unit.

I bought this nailer on the strengths of all the 5 stars awarded by other reviewers. So with great anticipation, I waited for it to arrive. Then I was deeply disappointed when even with pressure set to the maximum 120 PSI and depth adjustment turned all the way for maximum penetration, the heads of the brad remained above the wood. I shot over 50 brads with this consistent problem. This means that the nailer was delivered without being able to perform the job it was designed to do.
br /
br /I read others have modified the safety by filing it down, but why should I do this irreversibly to a new tool that is reputed to be so perfect? If I did this, wouldn't it make the no-mar pads not fit snugly on the bulbous shaped safety tip? I wonder if there is another way to adjust the safety protrusion without filing it down (depth adjuster doesn't do it). I have requested for a replacement from Amazon to see if this disappointment persists.
br /
br /Same problem with replacement unit the successful fix
br /-------------------------------------------------------
br /The replacement unit has exactly the same problem of not driving the brads to be flush or slightly below the wood surface no matter how I adjusted it. Because I can't wait anymore for yet another replacement, I followed the path of what other reviewers did- file the safety tip down. But by how much?
br /
br /The fix
br /--------
br /Close examination of the safety protrusion even when fully depressed with depth adjustment turned all the way for maximum penetration shows that it lifted the brad exit point about 1.5 mm above the wood surface. Therefore the safety must be reduced in length by at least 1.5mm. However, this does not give additional depth penetration leeway since the depth adjustment is already maxed out. So I decided on filing the safety down by 2mm and tapering it to retain its pointed shape for the no-mar pads to be refitted. This done, I test fired brads of all lengths and they come out perfectly just below the MDF test surface with air pressure of at least 85 PSI.
br /
br /The depth adjustment should be set so that when the safety is fully depressed, it should lift the brad exit point just above the wood surface. This is so that when the gun recoils and land back on the wood after firing, the no-mar pad on the saftey can prevent the metal brad exit from denting the wood. So on hindsight, filing the safety length down by 1.5mm should have been enough instead of 2mm.
br /
br /Conclusion: If the safety length came properly adjusted, I would have given it 5 stars, but having experienced disappointment twice, time lost waiting for the replacement and still having to alter the tool to make it work, I maintain my one star rating for this otherwise excellent tool.

I bought this when there were only 12 reviews. All 12 gave it 5 stars and because of that, I purchased it as well. I figured if 12 people gave it 5 out of 5 stars, how bad could it be? Well, they're right on the money and 5/5 is an accurate rating on this nailer.

br /I use this brad nailer for my home workshop, woodworking projects, baseboards, moulding, etc. I cannot begin to tell you how much better this one is than my last one. To be honest, I don't know much about Milwaukee tools and was a little hesitant. But this little thing has not let me down. It's sturdy, light, very little recoil and has yet to jam up on me (roughly 1000 brads so far). What more can you ask for? Plus it looks sharp. I'll put this one up against any dewalt, porter cable, bostich or any other nailer of the same size.

I purchased the Milwaukee 7150-21 18 Gauge Brad Nailer and am quite pleased with this time-saving tool. Before I purchased the nailer I was using a friend's Porter Cable nailer. His nailer worked fine, but I experienced many "dummy" firings. The feature in the Milwaukee tool that prevents the firing action when the nails run out was just what I was looking for, and the Milwaukee reputation was icing on the cake. I ordered it from an Amazon partner supplier from Wisconsin and was pleased with their quick handling of my order. I'm not a contractor, but will find this tool very useful for future home improvement projects. Finally, I'm glad Milwaukee included safety glasses with the tool, and...dont forget...you should buy the swivle airhose coupling as it was not included with the unit.

I have been using Porta-Cable brand nailers for years, when my 18 gauge nail gun died. I was going to get another one, but the place I went was out and I needed another gun right away. I got a DeWalt. It was OK for about a year or so and started to miss fire and jambing. I always maintain my tools and oil the nail guns every time I use them, so I didn't know why this was happening. I went to Amazon to order another Proter-Cable and looked at the reviews and noticed that the Milwaukee 7150-21 had very good reviews, so I thought I would try one and the price was right. I got it and it was defective, it wouldn't counter sink the 1-1/4" nails I was using. I called Weldingmart who I ordered it through and got another one with no questons asked. To make a long story short the new gun is great and customer service was just as good.

This Milwaukee brad nailer is by far the best nailer I own. I have use some Craftsman, Hitachi, Bosch, and others, but this nailer is so smooth and lightweight it is an absolute pleasure to use. It is also oil-less so this is just one less hassle and no emissions of any oily residue on your finish work. Mine also comes with a nice case to protect the nailer and hold accessories. The spring loaded nail magazine is a nice touch that does make it easy and convenient to reload. This is a nice versatile brad nailer that I would recommend to anyone.

This is the second Milwaukee air nailer I have purchased, both from Amazon, the other is a 16 gauge nailer. I love the lighter weight, of both and the soft tips that do not scar or dent the trim or paneling I am installing. I also like the adjustable depth for setting the nails. I am a handyman/carpenter and use these nailers regularly. I would highly recommend them to others. The price is right, also. Milwaukee 7150-21 5/8-Inch to 2-1/8-Inch 18 Gauge Brad Nailer

When Milwaukee released this nailer in 2006, it had some features that, I think (correct me if I'm wrong), have never been seen before. The air exhaust, inline filter and integrated belt hook are all in the base of the grip handle. Also, the BIG RED BUTTON that releases the magazine pusher is a vastly under appreciated landmark of tool design (I'm serious... use it and tell me I'm wrong). All of these features, just not in red, appeared on the Ridgid R213BNA in 2007. [ toolmonger.com/2007/08/09/hands-on-ridgid-2-18%E2%80%9D-brad-nailer/ ] While not identical, Ridgid copied the form-factor of the Milwaukee right down to the, air exhaust, belt hook, slim case and included safety glasses! This is no-doubt cross pollination because TTI (Tectronic Industries), the parent company of Milwuakee, also manufactures most Ridgid tools under license from Emerson Electric. The design continues to inspire as evidenced by the newly released Porter-Cable BN200B 5/8-inch to 2-inch 18 Gauge Brad Nailer. It has a handle exhaust and integrated belt hook also.

br /The Milwaukee brad nailer is powerful(2" brads through hardwood easily) and reliable (no jams in 2 months use). The depth adjustment is good if not overly refined; I counted 30+ clicks on the wheel.
br /
br /!!!WARNING!!! - This nailer will not take brads that are in 1/8" increments. It will accept 5/8" brads as it's smallest size but beyond that only 3/4, 1, 11/4, 11/2, 13/4 to 2". I bought some 1 3/8" Bostitch brads that will not work in this nailer. Not a big deal, but should be noted.
br /
br /A feature which I also think was a Milwaukee innovation is the "reload indicator" i.e.- it won't fire if you only have a few brads left. Rigid borrowed this idea in their new brad nailer but they call it "dry-fire lockout". You can also tell how close you are to the end of a magazine by a red colored tab inside the magazine that moves up with the pusher assembly as brads are used up. Very cool.
br /
br /The workpiece safety contact is located under the pin exit and works OK but may slip if you try to shoot in an odd position. The no-mar pad tip is also OK but is fairly hard rubber and, if the nailer is pressed too hard on soft woods, it will leave a dimple along with the nail hole.
br /
br /I really like the form factor and design of this nailer even if others are catching up to it now. It is solid and well built despite being light weight. Even though Milwaukee is now a subsidiary of a global company, I heard that most of the industrial design is still done in the U.S.?? With the clones of this nailer appearing, it proves that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I am a typical homeowner handyman. Never had a power nailer before but at 71 yrs age I needed help in driving small trim nails etc. This tool has performed admirably with no jams. I will definitely give Milwaukee tools a first-look for future tool purchases. I am using one of he portable CO2 gas systems with the nailer and the system works perfectly. It consistently drives 1-1/4 brads. After finishing the original porject I purchased the nailer for, I've searched for additional projects. Nailer works smoothly and is not excessively loud.
