- Does it need a compressor or gas cartridge?
- No. It is fully cordless and driven by a nitrogen air spring powered by an M12 battery, so there is no hose or fuel cell.
- What size nails does it take?
- It fires 18-gauge brad nails only. It will not drive 16-gauge finish nails or framing fasteners.
- Which batteries work with it?
- Any Milwaukee M12 battery. Larger packs give longer runtime, and the compact 2.0 or 3.0 packs keep the gun light.
- Is it fast enough for production trim work?
- It is slower than a pneumatic brad nailer. It suits punch lists, small trim jobs and assembly better than all-day production runs.
- Can it sink nails flush in hardwoods?
- Yes, with the depth adjustment set correctly. Owners report consistent flush drives in oak and other hardwoods.
- What comes in the box?
- The bare tool is sold without a battery or charger. Kit versions add an M12 battery and charger, so check which version you are buying.
