 - Another great tool from MilwaukeeI have been using this framing gun for only a few months now, but I couldn't have asked for a better framing nailer so far. It being light weight is a big plus. I had a Porter Cable 350MAG but I much prefer the Milwaukee 7100-20. Rating: - A great nailerAs a first time user of a framing nailer, the Milwaukee 7100-20 didn't disappoint. Once I found out that it will accept a range of nails (20-22°), it was smooth sailing. Reliable, easy to use, and jam-free. Even though it didn't come with a case, I would recommend this nailer enthusiastically. Rating: - Great ChoiceI bought this gun after reading several reviews and I'm glad I got it! Good price, light weight, well balanced and not a single jam yet. I used it to build a scaffold on the end of my house with Hitachi 3 1/4" nails, then 2 1/2" nails to apply the hardy board siding. Quick, easy, and accurate adjustment for nail depth. I couldn't be happier, and can't wait till my next project. Rating: - Milwaukee 7100-20 Round Head 2-Inch to 3-1/2-Inch Framing Nailer GREAT GUN! GREAT PRICE! Very light, easy to load, plenty of power and hasn't jammed in the first 2000 nails. Rating: - A Great Nailer, A Great PriceI wanted to buy the highest quality framing nailer for my DIY deck project and was more than willing to buy a more expensive nailer. After reading every review I could find, including these at Amazon.com, and after holding all potential units in my hands I chose to buy the Milwaukee unit. Compared to the Hitachi this unit has the same nailing capacity and is lighter, has more features, and is about half the price. I am going to be nailing my deck boards rather than screwing them down and I want to be sure that the nailer doesn't leave any marks. The Milwaukee nailer has a nice smooth head that touches the work when nailing. The Hitachi unit I considered had teeth like points where it touches the work. At the time of this writing, the price of this unit is excellent here at Amazon.com. Update: I completed my deck project using this nailer. I drove approximately 1,200 3 inch Grip-Rite nails with it. The nailer worked perfectly and never jammed. A number of people have complained of not having a case for the nailer. I went to the plastic bin aisle in Wal-Mart and found a perfectly sized clear plastic bin with green handles on the lid for about $9.
