Official Milwaukee Press Release

This August, Milwaukee® will launch a completely redesigned compact M18 FUEL™ 18ga Brad Nailer with the power to consistently drive nails in soft and hard words while leaving clean nail holes, and with no ramp-up time.

The new tool delivers clean, consistent nail holes in a compact size and with zero ramp-up time. It has been optimized to consistently sink nails sub-flush in all common materials and orientations, with reduced recoil and a reduced hole size left by the nail and striker. In addition, the front of the tool has been streamlined to improve line-of-sight to the work surface and access to tight spaces, and the overall weight has been reduced for better balance and less fatigue.

With no gas cartridges, a POWERSTATE™ brushless motor, and no cleaning required, the tool is designed to deliver durability and reliability to the most demanding users with very little maintenance. Coupled with the fact that the tool is designed with a fire rate similar to pneumatic with no delay between trigger pull and nail firing, users will experience greatly reduced downtime and maximized productivity.

MSRP: $279 (bare tool); $399 (kit)
