MILWAUKEE ELEC TOOL 2743-20 Milwaukee 15Ga Bare Nailer

Love this thing. I've never had a cordless nailer before (I used my buddy's rigid once) and this thing is INCREDIBLE. No regrets, love it. It's slightly finicky, but all the problems seem to revolve around the magazine spring/follower. It's not that hard to solve. It definitely needed a little breaking in when it was brand new. But seriously I love this thing, I use it all the time.

This thing worked great doing my trim work. I can't imagine doing trim work without it. I also used to hang some doors then added foam to fill gabs and make it solid. One of the best purchases I ever made. Great job Milwaukee.

I bought Milwaukee 15* nailer and it had worked great until the little fork like clip that holds the nails up had broke after 6 mo. I sent in for warranty they fixed it but had said that I wore it out, that “it didn’t brake”. but they still did the warranty work, and is still in use 6 mo. Later. I am a Milwaukee fan with a lot of red in the garage

Head was bent causing it to malfunction. Third party seller price was worth it. Simply bent things until everything functions well. Got lucky

Great tool

I have now gone through 3 of these, the first two worked great, running about 50,000 stainless 2-1/2" nails each before major issues arose. Those have both since been retired to the warranty bin. I purchased the third to have a working one on hand, this one only made it through about 200 1-1/2" galvanized nails before it quit working. It pops several times when the trigger is depressed against the work piece before finally shooting a single nail and shutting off completely. Tried different batteries with no luck. I am a commercial contractor and I have over $10,000 invested into Milwaukee tools. I have always been a fan but the last 3 Milwaukee tools I have purchased have been disappointing to say the least. It may be time to switch back to Makita. P.S. I would give this 1 star if it wasn't for the other 2 I had that were actually pretty amazing, up until they died. UPDATE: I have taken 3 in for warranty repairs. One of them, once, one twice, and the last one has been 3 times. After repair none of them have worked. I can't even get a single shot out of them. Now I have over $900 worth of useless tools and 3 pieces of trim to install, which requires having to drive home to get the pneumatic nailer, compressor, hoses etc., a problem these were supposed to alleviate. Not a happy customer at this point. Also for anyone interested, the M18 shop vac only works sometimes, and the M12 rotary cutter bogs down in 1/2" drywall, even with the 4.0 battery.

Great product

Nailer turns off after each firing requiring pulling the battery and reinstalling. Also says it will take 1 1/4” angled nails, not true. There is nothing in he design that allows it to hold a 2” or less nail. Better to stick with pneumatic tools or Paslode. Instructions are vague at best.
