Our take on the Milwaukee 2744-21 (1x5.0Ah)

The Milwaukee 2744-21 is an 18V cordless framing nailer that drives 2-inch to 3.5-inch clipped-head and full-head framing nails from a 51-nail magazine. It runs on Milwaukee's M18 battery platform, so it shares packs with the brand's drills, saws and impact drivers. Its main draw is gas-free, cord-free framing without a compressor or hose, and it weighs about 11 lb, which is heavier than most pneumatic framing guns. Reviewers generally rate the driving power and reliability well but note the weight and the cost of staying on the M18 platform.

Pros
  • No gas cartridges, hoses or compressor needed
  • Runs on the same M18 batteries as other Milwaukee tools
  • Drives up to 3.5-inch framing nails
  • 51-nail magazine holds a full stick of nails
  • Depth adjustment and dry-fire lockout are built in
Cons
  • About 11 lb with a battery, heavy for overhead or one-handed work
  • Needs a high-capacity M18 pack for full-day framing
  • Clipped-head and full-head nails are not interchangeable in one setting
  • Slower cycle than a good pneumatic framer
  • Battery and charger add to the platform investment

What reviewers say

Owners and reviewers treat the 2744-21 as a capable cordless framer that removes the compressor from the truck. Most praise the driving power and the M18 battery sharing; the recurring complaints are weight and the need for larger packs to get through a framing day.

What people mention
  • WeightCriticisedOwners say the tool is heavy with a battery, which tells on overhead and one-handed work.
  • Battery lifeMixedReviewers report good power but fast drain on long framing runs, so larger M18 packs are preferred.
  • Driving powerPraisedUsers say it sinks 3.5-inch nails into framing lumber and engineered wood without stalling.
  • No gasPraisedOwners like skipping gas cartridges and the upkeep that comes with them.
  • SpeedCriticisedSome framers find the cycle slower than a pneumatic gun for production nailing.
  • Nail loadingMixedThe 51-nail magazine is convenient, but switching between clipped-head and full-head nails takes some adjustment.

Questions and answers

Does the Milwaukee 2744-21 need gas cartridges?
No. It is a purely battery-powered framer and uses no gas cartridges, so there is nothing to buy or replace beyond nails and batteries.
What nails does it take?
It drives 2-inch to 3.5-inch framing nails and holds 51 in the magazine. Check whether your nails are clipped-head or full-head, since the gun is set up for one style at a time.
Which battery should I use?
It runs on any M18 pack, but for framing all day use a high-capacity pack such as a 5.0Ah or larger. Smaller packs work for short jobs but drain quickly.
How heavy is it?
About 11 lb with a battery installed. That is heavier than most pneumatic framing nailers, so plan for fatigue on overhead work.
Is it good for a DIYer?
Yes if you already own M18 batteries and have framing projects like a deck or shed. If you rarely frame, a pneumatic gun or a rental may make more sense.
Does it come with a battery and charger?
The 2744-21 kit includes one 5.0Ah M18 battery and a charger. Confirm the kit contents for the exact listing you buy.
