What nails does the 2745-20 take?

It uses 30° paper-taped framing nails from 2 to 3-1/2 inches long. It does not take wire-collated or clipped-head nails.

Does it come with a battery?

The 2745-20 is the tool-only version. Batteries and a charger are sold separately, so you need an M18 pack.

How does it compare with a pneumatic framing nailer?

It trades the hose and compressor for battery power. Firing speed is close, but a pneumatic gun can run all day without recharging and usually costs less.

Can it fire in contact actuation mode?

Yes. A switch selects between sequential and contact actuation, and dry fire lockout stops the tool when the magazine is empty.

How many nails does the magazine hold?

The magazine holds 51 nails, so expect to reload more often than with a larger pneumatic magazine.

Is it good for overhead work like sheathing?

It can do it, but at about 9.4 lb it gets tiring overhead. Many users prefer it for walls, decks and flat framing.
