Do you have one of those 60 volt drills to go with it?

METABO. Their battery powered nailers are awesome. I have the framing nailer and finish nailer. I had the same dilemma, having several Dewalt drills, impact and saws. But I couldn't fall in love with the nailers. Ended up going with a separate system for my nailers and chose METABO. Very good nail guns and highly regarded.

We have 4 paslode nailers 2 finish and 2 framers they are all over 10 yrs old and are used all the time . We also have a ridgid battery finish nailer and dont like it at all. It is to slow compared to the paslodes. For homeowner use a battery one would be fine.

My paslodes were gas operated but I really liked them for nailing, even in old hard oak.

I pretty much went all in on 60V. Bought the 60V; Sawzall, (2) hammer drills, (2) grease guns, (2) nail guns, the big 60V impact.
The impact is crazy powerful. Took of rear tractor rim bolts without busting a sweat.

A bit off subject, but you need to fasten to steel, concrete, this is what we use... Best &^%$ tool I ever bought.

There was a review in this month's Fine Home Building on them. The Milwaukee came out best. Apparently it is the newest of the 3 they did and they learned from the others mistakes. You might be able to find the review online without paying for it, or maybe not. They try to double dip on subscribers for the magazine and the web site both...

I wouldnt doubt it. Milwaukee makes fine tools, now in China. I was a big Milwaukee guy. Had the V-28 cordless tools. Still have my 8-1/4 inch worm drive framing saw.

About 8 times out of 10 on Fine Homebuilding the Milwaukee brand comes out on top in all tools. Usually highest price also. I guess one gets what one pays for.
