Its weight is its major limitation and we know there are some contractors out there making the adjustment to use it as a primary framing nailer.<\/p>\n<p>From our perspective, it does its best work for remodeling contractors, repair, and punch list jobs. When you\u2019re stopping by for a quick job or moving around a lot, the lack of a compressor and hose saves time and really frees you up while you work.<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Milwaukee M18 Fuel Cordless Framing Nailer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First Impressions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We initially got our hands on the Milwaukee battery-powered nailers at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/news\/best-new-milwaukee-tools\/46549\/\">NPS 2019<\/a> and went to town driving 3-inch nails into laminated engineered lumber.

There&#8217;s absolutely no delay in these nailers. It&#8217;s very much like using a pneumatic tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Raising the Roof<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once we got our hands on a model we could hang onto longer, we put it to use on a roofing project. We needed to completely replace it down to the plywood and found several areas that needed new wood, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-inline-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer27-650x434.jpg\" alt=\"Milwaukee cordless framing nailers\" class=\"wp-image-60111\" width=\"650\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer27-650x434.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer27-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer27-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer27-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer27-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer27.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>With code-approved pattern and fasteners, we need to lay down our plywood with 2 3\/8-inch ring shank nails. Initially, the nails were a little proud, but a quick depth adjustment took care of that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Positioned on top, the metal knurled knob is super-smooth compared to many of the other framing nailers we&#8217;ve used. It turns easily from one position to the next and works just as well with or without gloves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-inline-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer02-650x434.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-60112\" width=\"650\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer02-650x434.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer02-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer02-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer02-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer02-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer02.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>With the size nails and materials we were fastening, we didn&#8217;t expect any issues with power or drive consistency. The nailer performed beautifully on this job with zero jams or misfires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Milwaukee Cordless Framing Nailer Freedom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our roofing project really highlighted the cordless freedom this nailer offers. Once the bad wood was identified and removed, we were able to quickly get started and move around with no compressor to set up or hose to drag around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the Milwaukee M18 Fuel cordless framing nailer functions completely off the M18 battery platform, you don&#8217;t need to use gas cartridges. This results in all-day usability since you can swap out a pack as another one charges. You never have to run to the store to get a cartridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-inline-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer17-650x434.jpg\" alt=\"Milwaukee cordless framing nailer toenailing\" class=\"wp-image-60114\" width=\"650\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer17-650x434.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer17-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer17-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer17-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer17-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer17.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We also like the compactness of this nailer. At 14.1 inches across the head, it easily fits between studs for close-quarters nailing. While the extended magazine adds some bulk and length, it&#8217;s no worse than a compact pneumatic nailer. Without the hose dragging behind, you can quickly move from one section of studs to another and not worry about getting tangled up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Milwaukee 2744-21 and 2745-21 Extended Capacity Magazines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Milwaukee added an optional extended capacity magazine to address the need for more nails. No one else does this to our knowledge\u2014most battery-powered nailers use short mags. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It represents a real advantage for these nailers. By swapping out magazines, there&#8217;s enough capacity in both the 21-degree and 30-degree models to hold two strips of nails. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer05-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"60118\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer05.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/tools\/air\/framing-nailers\/milwaukee-m18-fuel-framing-nailer-hands-on\/46729\/attachment\/milwaukee-m18-framing-nailer05\/\" class=\"wp-image-60118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer05-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer05-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer05-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer05-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer05-650x434.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer05.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer06-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"60117\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer06.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/tools\/air\/framing-nailers\/milwaukee-m18-fuel-framing-nailer-hands-on\/46729\/attachment\/milwaukee-m18-framing-nailer06\/\" class=\"wp-image-60117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer06-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer06-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer06-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer06-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer06-650x434.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer06.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost for this optional component is $69, but given the ergonomics and the speed with which this tool works, we&#8217;d opt for it right out of the gate. On the 21-degree framing nailer, the standard magazine holds up to 45 nails and the 30-degree holds 51.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the extended magazine, the Milwaukee 2744-21 21\u00b0 nailer and 2745-21 30\u00b0 nailer can each hold up to 83 nails\u2014two full strips. This lets you send more nails home before having to reload than any other cordless nailer on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-inline-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer08-650x434.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-60116\" width=\"650\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer08-650x434.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer08-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer08-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer08-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer08-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer08.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that the magazines aren&#8217;t interchangeable between angles. The driver system is specific to each style. Make sure you buy the one that matches the angle of your nailer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Battery Life<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of battery life, both the Milwaukee 2744-21 and 2745-21 can sink anywhere from 500-700 nails on a single 5.0Ah battery. While that varies based on the size nails you&#8217;re using and the material you&#8217;re fastening, it&#8217;s enough to cycle a couple of batteries and make through your day without interruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s no getting around that this is a heavy tool for a framing nailer. With a 5.0Ah battery and stock magazine, it weighed 11.3 pounds on our scale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s something you&#8217;re going to notice, especially when you&#8217;re nailing overhead. The upside is that the weight is balanced pretty well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Milwaukee Cordless Framing Nailer Field Notes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Power Up and Mode Changes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s a separate electronic power button on the back of the tool. You need to hold it down for a second to turn the tool on, so an accidental bump in your truck box isn&#8217;t going to power it up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-inline-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer23-650x434.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-60126\" width=\"650\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer23-650x434.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer23-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer23-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer23-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer23-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer23.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The mode switch button is just below that. Like the power button, you need to hold it down for a second, keeping accidental presses from changing modes on you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Toe Nailing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Milwaukee M18 Fuel cordless framing nailer is a decent toe nailer. It fits between studs easily and getting an angle for the shot is easy enough. There&#8217;s pretty solid visibility around the nose as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The nose spurs aren&#8217;t very aggressive, though. That tends to let the nose slip from time to time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-inline-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer16-650x434.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-60122\" width=\"650\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer16-650x434.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer16-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer16-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer16-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer16-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer16.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jam Clearance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you get a jam, there&#8217;s enough access to get a pair of needle-nose pliers around the offending nail.

The belt hook may be hit or miss depending on how you use it. It recesses slightly from the magazine and we ended up using the rafter hook much more frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rafter hook is large and stout in construction, easily hanging from a joist or ladder rung. It swings out of the way when you don&#8217;t need it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-inline-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer22-650x434.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-60123\" width=\"650\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer22-650x434.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer22-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer22-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer22-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer22-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Milwaukee-M18-Framing-Nailer22.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Both hooks are removable if you find you don&#8217;t want them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit0\";\r\namzn_assoc_search_bar = \"true\";\r\namzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"protoorev-20\";\r\namzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"manual\";\r\namzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\";\r\namzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\";\r\namzn_assoc_region = \"US\";\r\namzn_assoc_title = \"\";\r\namzn_assoc_linkid = \"a70a521cf23fe70bdb0e394e21a33884\";\r\namzn_assoc_asins = \"B000A79HWA,B07LCG6TZ4,B00JJ3RORQ,B07N9KZQJK\";\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LED Light<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Both the Milwaukee 2744-21 and 2745-21 cordless framing nailers feature an integrated LED light positioned on the bottom which illuminates where you&#8217;re hitting.

You can also get the Milwaukee M18 Fuel cordless framing nailer for $449 as a kit with a 5.0Ah battery and charger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because there are no issues with driving power and nailing speed, the only question is how often you want to reach for your Milwaukee cordless framing nailer. Its weight is its major limitation and we know there are some contractors out there making the adjustment to use it as a primary framing nailer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From our perspective, it does its best work for remodeling contractors, repair, and punch list jobs. When you&#8217;re stopping by for a quick job or moving around a lot, the lack of a compressor and hose saves time and really frees you up while you work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-very-light-gray-color has-background has-luminous-vivid-orange-background-color\" href=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/go\/milwaukee-2744-21-m18-fuel-21-degree-framing-nailer\/\" style=\"border-radius:13px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Buy the 21\u00ba at Acme Tools<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-very-light-gray-color has-background has-luminous-vivid-orange-background-color\" href=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/go\/milwaukee-2745-21-m18-fuel-30-degree-framing-nailer-kit\/\" style=\"border-radius:13px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Buy the 30\u00ba at Acme Tools<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Milwaukee Cordless Framing Nailer Specifications<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Milwaukee 2744-21 21\u00b0 Framing Nailer<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Model: 2744-21 (kit), 2744-20 (tool-only)<\/li><li>Nail sizes: 2 in. \u2013 3-1\/2 in.<\/li><li>Nail diameter: 0.113 in. \u2013 0.148 in.<\/li><li>Magazine capacity: 45 nails<\/li><li>700 nails per charge on a RedLithium XC5.0 battery<\/li><li>Sequential and contact actuation modes<\/li><li>Dry-fire lockout, belt hook, rafter hook, &amp; LED work light<\/li><li>Kit includes: M18 FUEL 21\u00b0 framing nailer, M18 RedLithium XC5.0 battery pack, charger, and carrying case<\/li><li>Price: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/go\/milwaukee-2744-20-m18-fuel-21-degree-framing-nailer\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noopener\">$349<\/a> (tool-only), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/go\/milwaukee-2744-21-m18-fuel-21-degree-framing-nailer\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noopener\">$449<\/a> (kit)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">M18 FUEL 21\u00b0 Framing Nailer Extended Magazine<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Model: 48-08-2744<\/li><li>Magazine capacity: 83 nails<\/li><li>Nail sizes: 2 in. \u2013 3-1\/2 in.<\/li><li>Nail diameter: 0.113 in. \u2013 0.148 in.<\/li><li>Price: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/go\/milwaukee-48-08-2744-21-degree-framing-nailer-extended-capacity-magazine\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noopener\">$69<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Milwaukee 2745-21 30\u00b0 Framing Nailer<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Model: 2745-21 (kit), 2745-20 (tool-only)<\/li><li>Nail sizes: 2 in. \u2013 3-1\/2 in.<\/li><li>Nail diameter: 0.113 in. \u2013 0.131 in.<\/li><li>Magazine capacity: 51 nails<\/li><li>700 nails per charge on a RedLithium XC5.0 battery<\/li><li>Sequential and Contact Actuation Modes<\/li><li>Dry-fire lockout, belt hook, rafter hook, &amp; LED work light<\/li><li>Kit includes: M18 FUEL 30\u00b0 framing nailer, M18 RedLithium XC5.0 battery pack, charger, and carrying case<\/li><li>Price: <a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/go\/milwaukee-2745-20-m18-fuel-30-degree-framing-nailer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$349<\/a> (tool-only), <a aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/go\/milwaukee-2745-21-m18-fuel-30-degree-framing-nailer-kit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$449<\/a> (kit)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">M18 FUEL 30\u00b0 Framing Nailer Extended Magazine<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Model: 48-08-2745<\/li><li>Magazine capacity: 105 nails<\/li><li>Nail sizes: 2 in. \u2013 3-1\/2 in.<\/li><li>Nail diameter: 0.113 in. \u2013 0.131 in.<\/li><li>Price: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.protoolreviews.com\/go\/milwaukee-48-08-2745-30-degree-framing-nailer-extended-capacity-magazine\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noopener\">$69<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Milwaukee M18 Fuel cordless framing nailers (2744-21 and 2745-21) hit store shelves back in June 2020.
