This angle finish nailer is one of seven new heavy-duty air-powered nailers from the venerable Milwaukee, and the whole series is another testament to the red label’s unflagging quality.

Our first impression was how incredibly light this nailer is, and its compactness makes it a cinch to tote and use, especially in awkward positions and at the tail end of a long day of trim or floor installation. Still, it’s a heavyweight in the power department, effortlessly driving 2-1/2" 15-gauge nails and, best of all, its reload indicator even alerts you when your magazine’s nearly empty, preventing wasted firings. Loading more fasteners takes a couple of seconds at most, and that means more money in your pocket. Another big tip of the hat to Milwaukee for incorporating both sequential and bump firing modes, accessible just by turning a knob, so when speed is a need, you’re ready to go, but precision is at your fingertips too. We like the quality built into this tool, from the magnesium housing and easily adjustable air deflector and muffler all the way down to small details like the sturdy belt hook. The removable non-marring nosepiece won’t deface your work surface, and there’s even a self-cleaning air filter in the tool handle, keeping dust and dirt out of the tool’s workings – and that means longer tool life. In hand, this nailer feels great: light, comfortable, agile, beautifully balanced, and dare we say, fun to use. Tool-free depth adjustment is on-the-mark reliable, fast and easy. And should the nails jam, clearing is a snap with the tool-free jam release. Remodelers, contractors, cabinetmakers and the smart do-it-yourselfer will love this nailer.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Customer Reviews

Powerful, consistent, light
I've used this nailer for a number of projects and it's been excellent.

Case in point - crown molding.
It's light, which makes it a lot easier to hold over your head while nailing off crown molding all day. The belt hook is also key if you need two hands to get the crown seated in just the right position before fastening it while you're on a ladder.

After the install is done, you'll appreciate the clean countersink hole that this nailer leaves. Some nailers leave a little lip, or an extra dent that takes extra sanding and filling work to hide. This gun just leaves a clean-edged hole and the no-mar tip works perfectly. The only time the tip can be a disadvantage is nailing into some tightly curved profiles. You have to be careful that the tip isn't preventing the nose of the gun from being pressed fully against the work piece. (Then the nail may not be driven all the way in and countersunk.)

No problems using the Porter Cable angled nails that you find at local stores.

Loading was really slick once I found the little tab that helps to hold the nail pusher out of the way.

My two gripes -

1. They didn't include a quick disconnect air fitting and the diameter of the fitting is a bit larger than most nailers sold at the mega-stores.

2. The included bottle of pneumatic tool oil doesn't seal well and can leak inside the case if you store it on its side.

Nice ergonomics and features.
I bought this nailer after my Dewalt failed after only 1.5 years with minimal use and after my positive experience with the purchase of the Milwaukee 7120-21 roofing nailer. So far this nailer has worked great and I like that it includes a 5 year warranty. The fit and feel are similar to the Dewalt and the depth adjustment is in a better location, the selectable trigger is also a nice feature. As for the reliabilty only time will tell but if it performs as well as the Milwaukee 7120-21 roofing nailer has for me then I will be very satisfied.

Another Quality Milwaukee Tool
I found this to be a quality nailer. Good range on depth adjustment. Easy to load and open slide allows you see clearly see remaining nail supply. I have not experienced any jams after shooting over 100 nail sleeves of various sizes. The tool is light weight and comfortable to hold. The ability to direct the air exhaust and the belt hook are nice features. I was surprised that the tool did not come with a male hose fitting. Overall a great value.
