Milwaukee 2744-20 M18 FUEL Framing Nailer vs Metabo HPT NR1890DRAM Framing Nailer

Both are 21-degree cordless framing nailers that fire up to 3 nails per second and drive 2 to 3-1/2 inch nails. The Milwaukee 2744-20 runs on the M18 platform with a nitrogen spring and brushless motor, and owners praise its pneumatic-like power and no gas cartridges. The Metabo HPT NR1890DRAM is about a pound lighter, has a rated 500 nails per charge, and is well rated by owners. Pick Milwaukee if you already own M18 batteries; pick Metabo HPT for lighter weight and longer rated runtime.

• Choose the Milwaukee 2744-20 if you are already on the M18 battery platform and want brushless, gas-free framing power with tool-free depth adjustment.
• Choose the Metabo HPT NR1890DRAM if you want a lighter nailer with a rated 500 nails per charge and MultiVolt battery flexibility.
