The M18 FUEL™ 18 Gauge Brad Finishing Nailer delivers peak productivity on the jobsite, providing users with the power to nail, without the hassle of a compressor and hose. Leveraging Milwaukee's nitrogen air spring mechanism, the M18 FUEL™ 18 Gauge Brad Finishing Nailer allows users to consistently sink nails to the proper depth in hard and soft woods while leaving clean nail holes matching the head of the nail. The combination of the POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor and REDLINK™ PLUS Intelligence delivers users the ability for fast nailing, with a fire rate of 3 nails per second (in contact actuation mode) with zero ramp-up time, for maximum efficiency throughout the day. Additionally, the nailer operates using our REDLITHIUM™ batteries (not included) and sealed compressed nitrogen to drive each nail, eliminating the cost of gas cartridges and maintenance associated with other nailers. The M18 FUEL™ 18 Gauge Brad Finishing Nailer is compact in size, and lightweight, providing the user with unmatched access into tight spaces and limiting fatigue with low recoil. The M18 FUEL™ 18 Gauge Brad Finishing Nailer delivers the pneumatic performance that professional carpenters and remodelers expect, with the freedom and convenience of cordless technology.
