- Does it need gas fuel cells?
- No. It uses a nitrogen air spring and runs entirely off the M18 battery, so there are no fuel cartridges to buy or replace.
- What nails does it take?
- It uses 21-degree plastic-collated clipped-head framing nails from 2 to 3.5 inches long, with shanks up to 0.131 inch.
- How does it compare with a pneumatic framing nailer?
- It matches the driving power of many air framers and removes the compressor and hose, but it is heavier and fires more slowly.
- Which battery does it use?
- Any Milwaukee M18 18V battery. The kit ships with one 5.0Ah pack and a charger; a High Output pack gives more shots per charge.
- Is it good for overhead work?
- It can do it, but at about 11 lb it is tiring overhead. Many owners keep a lighter tool for ceiling and soffit work.
- Does it have a dry-fire lockout?
- Yes. The tool stops firing when the magazine runs low, which protects the workpiece and the driver.
