Toenail reality check. While the guns ya’ll tested all seemed to do well. I’ve found that after about 6 months of regular use the Hitachi/metabo will completely quit firing a toenail, The Rigid, will quit firing period, and will only fire when it wants to, The Milwaukee, has out performed them all, except my 25 year old DuoFast. The reason for the quit firing is due to the plastic trigger safety parts becoming worn in a short period of time. The plastic parts on the trigger is what makes me to not want to try the Estwing. Forget the bells and whistles, I want a framing nailer that will fire a nail when I ask it to.

Okay reality check on toenailing… Milwaukee 7200-20 NO (cant drive fastener completely) – Hitachi NR90AE(S1) NO (cant toe at all, the head is crap and gets no gription) – Ridgid R350RHF NO (cant drive fastener completely) – Bostitch F21PL2 YES (unfortunately the depth adjustment is crap and can only be used at full depth, [it will reset itself there at random], great for toenailing though

Now throw out all nailers that won’t take 3 1/2″ .131.

Milwaukee and Ridged are both owned by the same parent company (TTI) and there is a lot of product sharing.

Join the discussion…I sell tools, and my best seller is the Milwaukee. And no it is not DIYers but trades people that purchase it, as they prefer the Milwaukee framer over any other brand. So I carry what my customer wants, and I have not sold one Hitachi.

Why did you not include the Max framing nailer in the comparison test? Surely a worthwhile competitor?

FYI, compare the old 2005 era Ridgid R350RH(a) to the Milwaukee and you’ll notice they are nearly identical

Milwaukee doesn’t (yet) have a cordless framing nailer.
