- Does it come with a battery and charger?
- It is typically sold as a bare tool, so batteries and a charger are separate unless a kit is specified. Any M18 pack works, but larger packs suit sustained use.
- What size brads does it take?
- It drives 18-gauge brads from 5/8 inch to 2 inches. That covers most trim, casing and panel work.
- Is it worth it over a pneumatic brad nailer?
- If you already own M18 batteries and work away from an air line, the cordless convenience is the main draw. A pneumatic gun is lighter and cheaper to run if you have a compressor.
- How does it compare with the Milwaukee 16-gauge nailer?
- The 18-gauge gun is lighter and made for fine trim and small brads. The 16-gauge model drives larger fasteners for heavier trim but is bigger and heavier itself.
- Does it need gas cartridges?
- No. It is a pure battery-powered nailer, so there are no fuel cells to buy or replace.
- Can it be used for overhead work?
- Yes, but the weight is noticeable. Many owners prefer a lighter gun or a smaller battery for ceiling and soffit work.
- Where is the Milwaukee Brad Nailer 18V 18-Gauge cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $299.00, as of our latest check.
