At Milwaukee’s recent Annual Pipeline Event, the M18 FUEL Coil Roofing Nailer (2909 – 20) made its debut. This launch is a significant milestone for Milwaukee as it ventures into new territory, offering a tool that is not only suitable for small roofing jobs and repairs but also ideal for vinyl siding installations.
Key Features
Versatility
The M18 Roofing Nailer stands out due to its on – tool storage for a vinyl siding tip (48 – 08 – 2909). This feature makes it a highly versatile option for contractors who frequently switch between roofing and siding tasks. It fills the gaps where existing nailers may fall short, providing faster firing speeds, longer runtime, and greater versatility.
High – Performance Firing
This nailer boasts a 120 – nail magazine capacity and an impressive firing rate of up to 6 nails per second. The performance is powered by nitrogen air spring technology, which enables it to fire more than twice as fast as many of its competitors. When paired with the M18 HIGH OUTPUT CP3.0 battery, it can deliver an incredible 1,100 nails per charge. This capacity is sufficient to handle a full day’s work on smaller projects.
Cordless Freedom
Weighing around 7.3 pounds bare, which is average for traditional pneumatic nailers, the Roofing Nailer offers the cordless freedom that pneumatic tools lack. Without the hassle of an air hose to manage, contractors can quickly start working, move more freely across roofs, and reduce the risk of accidents such as tripping, slipping, or falling caused by hoses or tangling.
Convenience and Efficiency
Tool – free Depth Adjustment: It features tool – free depth adjustment, allowing users to quickly and easily change nail depths.
Pivoting Belt/Scaffolding Hook: The pivoting belt/scaffolding hook provides added flexibility, enabling users to carry the nailer conveniently while working.
Dry Fire Lockout: This feature prevents damage to the tool and materials, ensuring safe and efficient operation.
Replaceable Rubber Wear Pads (48 – 09 – 2909): These pads help extend the tool’s lifespan in tough working environments.
Limitations and Contractor Feedback
Despite its many advantages, some contractors have expressed a desire for a dedicated siding nailer to complement this roofing model. While the M18 FUEL Coil Roofing Nailer can handle vinyl siding installations, a tool specifically designed for siding would offer more specialized functionality for contractors who work extensively in that area.
Availability
The M18 FUEL Coil Roofing Nailer is now available for pre – order. The bare tool is priced at 479. The tool is expected to ship by the end of the month.
In conclusion, the Milwaukee M18 FUEL Coil Roofing Nailer is a powerful and versatile tool that offers many benefits for contractors. While it may not fully replace a dedicated siding nailer, its cordless design, high – performance firing, and convenient features make it a valuable addition to any contractor’s toolkit.
