Our take on the MILWAUKEE M18 FUEL 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Gen II 18-Gauge Brad Nailer (Tool-Only)

The Milwaukee M18 Fuel 18-Gauge Brad Nailer is a cordless finish nailer built on Milwaukee's M18 battery platform. Its brushless motor and nitrogen air-spring drive sink 18-gauge brads up to 2 inches into hardwoods without a compressor or hose. It suits trim carpenters, cabinet installers and remodelers who want gas-free, hose-free fastening. Against pneumatic nailers it trades unlimited runtime for portability, and against other cordless brad nailers it is known for power and a dry-fire lockout, though it is heavier and needs a charged M18 pack.

Questions and answers

Does it come with a battery and charger?
No. It is tool-only, so you need an M18 battery and charger, which you may already own if you are on the platform.
What length of brads does it take?
It fires standard 18-gauge brads up to 2 inches long, which covers most trim, casing and cabinet work.
Is it as powerful as a pneumatic nailer?
Owners say it is close. It sinks 2-inch brads into hardwoods reliably, though a pneumatic still cycles faster in high-volume production work.
How long does a battery last?
It depends on the pack. A high-capacity M18 battery lasts most of a workday of trim work; compact packs run out much sooner.
Can it be used for overhead work?
Yes, but it is heavy and top-heavy, so long overhead runs are tiring compared with a lighter pneumatic or a smaller cordless nailer.
How does it compare with the first-generation M18 brad nailer?
The Gen II adds the brushless Fuel motor and improved drive, giving more consistent power and better dry-fire protection than the earlier model.
