I saw this on Milwaukee’s facebook page they were asking for people to guess what this tool is I said it might be a trim nailer for the m12 fuel line. What do you guys think it could be?
I have no idea. Maybe a glue gun. LOL
M12 because of the fuel gauge. Not sure but ill guess a rivet gun
That would be a cool bit of kit 🙂

Conductor will love you for mentioning that he’s been wanting an m12 rivet gun bad. The reason I’m really thinking it could be a trim nailer the market for a pure battery operated one is empty you have the senco fusion, but it’s not stocked in any store at least around me.

Don’t tease me like that Eric! Get my hopes all up and it’ll end up being a disc sander or some other thing I have no use for, lol

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a stapler or trim nailer. It’s definitely M12, but I would’ve thought a nailer would have been M18 as TTI just released a Ridgid branded 18V cordless nailer. It’s still possible though, they’re getting crazy run time with these new 4.0ah packs. It definitely doesn’t look like 95% of the shit people guessed on there, lol

Yea I dunno If they came out with a Framing and Trim nailer this soon it would really piss Dewalt off they delayed that 20v framing nailer till 2014.
Dewalt have released it over here. 🙂

Go ahead and rub it in Wayne 🙂 You guys get all the Metabo stuff, a Bosch green line that you can’t buy here, and now Dewalt releases all their new shit over there first.

Yea the only thing It’s expensive as hell but it seemed from the few video’s I saw it hit just as hard as a Paslode.You might save money long term by not having to buy fuel cells though also I hear they are a bitch to deal when it’s cold paslode should have put a small electric heater to keep it warm when it’s needed.

They have the senco fusion at menards.

Menards has just started to open some stores around me in Metro Detroit. The store is still pretty far away though.
I just think they hit us with some tools first because you guys use more air powered tools where we go gas canisters and battery power more and gave up on air tools on site.
Maybe the UK is kinda their test market? Or maybe the Government regulation aren’t as crazy?
Maybe so. 🙂

I dunno from watching Top Gear the Health and Safety people would freak out on the things that go on at most american job sites that are osha approved. When they resurfaced that one road on the show they had backup cameras and a guy both making sure people were safe. If wayne can correct me if i’m wrong but paslode has the Im90 which isn’t even sold here paslode has a few tools they don’t sell in the usa anymore for some reason like the positive placement nailer which would be huge with all the brackets and tie’s you need to install on roofs even more so down in the tornado and hurricane prone area’s.
Well it turns out the new tool is a brushless version on the M12 sds they just just released. The original tool didnt stay in production too long.
Is it bad that I’m disappointed?

I am not a big fan of Paslode.
I have the two Hitachi gas powered nail guns but Ilike the new Dewalt battery nailers they look cool. 🙂

No one really sells the hitachi nailers in store around here It’s paslode or nothing at least in stores around here.The new lithium paslodes work much better than the nicad versions.
I don’t like tools that come with only one battery.
Some drill kits are now only being sold with one battery, but that’s done to keep the price under around 100 bucks.
I f you use them for a living all battery tools need to have at least 2 batteries 🙂
That is a true statement! I barely get by with my 2 milwaukee batteries. I use to have 4 for my old kit and that was the perfect number for me
Milwaukee does it right. They tend to offer less expensive kits with lets say 1 battery on more specialized tools for a cheaper price. Then they offer kits with compacts for the middle price, and then their top tier pricing has the XC batteries. Not to mention the bare tools options. I know a lot of companies offer simliar options, but it seems like Milwaukee does the best job of running the gambit.

I agree the mini recip I bought from Milwaukee only came with one so I had to buy two more for like $60.

I agree Joe. It’s nice to have options other than bare tool or full blown kit. You have a better chance of having a cost effective option for the impact the new tool will have on your battery situation.
I second that, its super nice to be able to buy just the bare tool itself!

Yeah, I was kind of surprised when I first noticed just how many kits come with just one battery. Its kind of disappointing.
On topic, I would love to try this Fuel SDS. My boss has the original one. I laughed when I first saw it and was very skeptical. For drilling for anchors it works great. I actually used it instead of the corded drill a couple of days ago since it was just so convenient. It blows a small hole pretty quickly.

I really didn’t take it too serious at first either, but it’s the real deal. When you consider most holes drilled in masonry are 1/4″ or smaller its kinda surprising we didn’t see a small SDS sooner.
