Reviews For Milwaukee 2746
Tomb January 27, 2022
A DIYers perspective based on window trim and baseboards. Compared to my air sb1850 Bostitch, its much larger and noticeably heavier. That is my only knock on this nail gun. Beyond that, the gun performs flawlessly and has spot on repeatable performance throughout the battery life. Note, I had a 1.5ah battery blinking on last bar and the sink depth remained consistent with no proud nails. Very impressed that I dont have to run anything bigger than a 1.5 ah battery which helps keep weight down.Based on the 1 star reduction due to noticeable weight, I will say I would purchase this gun again in a heartbeat as the no compressor and hose thing is a tradeoff Ill take 10 times out of 10. Plus, job readiness is simply installing a battery and off you go. That convenience actually caught me off guard!Highly recommend for anyone looking for an 18 Guage nailer.As for price, Ill pay for quality..nuff said!

Whats New On The Gen 2 Nailer
Milwaukee made ten significant improvements to their Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18 Gauge Brad Nailer:
More Power with Lower Tank PSI
The earlier Gen 1 nailer was powerful which resulted in too much recoil.
To address this, Milwaukee reduced the energy output Which results in less wear and tear on the tool, less jumping off the material , and less recoil.
The Gen 2 brad nailer has an inner cylinder with a nitrogen air spring mechanism and an outer cylinder. The area between the two cylinders is filled with Nitrogen to a specified PSI. Milwaukee chose to use Nitrogen over air because it is least likely to result in condensation and corrosion of the tanks.
Moved Depth Adjustment
The Gen I depth adjustment interfered with the user line of sight. Milwaukee moved the depth adjustment from the left side of the tool to the right side, and recessed it a bit. This immediately improved the nailers line of sight for 85% of right-handed users. Recessing the depth adjustment knob further improved the line of sight on the right side.
More Compact
The Gen 1 nailer had a bulky nose, which made it difficult to get into corners. Milwaukee significantly reduced the weight by 1-pound, and size of the Gen 2 nailer, making it more compact, lighter, better accessible, and improved line of sight. They also improved the nailers toe-nailing ability.
Workpiece Contact Bracket improved Accuracy!
I was able to place fasteners spot on they solved that issue.

Problems With The Gen 1 Tool
The earlier Gen 1 tool had several negative user feedback issues, that resulted in a complete Back To The Drawing Board, approach. We also reviewed the earlier Gen 1 tool and mentioned some issues needing improvement.
Well, Milwaukee, went back to the drawing board and starting from scratch, with a larger design team, set out to address mine and your user feedback issues.
Gen 1 User Feedback:
- Oversized holes in the material
- A bulky nose that inhibited sightlines
- Excessive recoil

How It Performed
The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18 Gauge Brad Nailer 2746-20 installed nails consistently at the desired set depth.
On the job site, the nailer performed flawlessly with no jammed or misfired nails. We immediately noticed that there is no ramp-up time for this nailer, meaning that the tool does not pause to recharge itself it placed a nail as fast as I was able to accurately aim, set, and pull the trigger.
The recoil is definitely smoother Ive been using this tool for a few days on the job site with no negative issues.
In the shop, we tested the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18 Gauge Brad Nailer 2746-20 by fastening different wood species from Oak, Maple, Poplar, plywood, and Cedar. We used spruce framing lumber and LVL stock as a subsurface under the trim to evaluate fastener penetration and nail hole size. The results were the same consistent depth, fast fastening, and no nail jams.
Milwaukee took their time re-designing this nailer and it shows. This brad nailer consistently installed brad nails, to the proper depth, in hard and softwoods while leaving clean nail holes matching the head of the nail.
