Pro Tool Reviews: In the wake of Milwaukee Pipeline, we’re seeing some really amazing tools hitting the shelves. One tool I was particularly excited about is the Milwaukee M12 Fuel 18-Gauge Compact Brad Nailer. Now, we’ve got it in hand, and I’m ready to put it through its paces so you can decide if it’s the right tool for you!

This review of a Milwaukee nailer was thorough and well-organized. A cool feature about this nailer that is different from the one that I use (aside from the many design elements that make this nailer faster/stronger/less likely to jam) is that there is a small viewing window on the base so you can see how many nails there are left in the nailer without opening it up to check. I appreciate that this review organizes itself into various sections for easy readability and digestion of information; it’s very easy to read straight through and understand or skim for a certain piece of information if you’re looking for something specific.
Maybe we have both but I’ve only used the pneumatic brad nailer in the shop for props work so one that is battery operated but still delivers consistent nail jobs is very appealing. Sometimes putting on smaller finishings or molding to scenery is hard to do when you need an air hose to follow you up on a lift or make a connection into a theater space to finish up last minute jobs. I think Milwaukee does a nice job of keeping tools light while durable and 4.6 pounds with the batteries isn’t bad at all. I had to look up what bump firing was because I didn’t know that action had a name and also I’ve never seen it used at CMU probably because it’s a greater safety hazard than just deploying one nail at a time with the safety. I could see how it could be useful on a large deck with a busy pattern but at that point I don’t think you’d be using brad nails.
