Ergonomics: Look for a pin nailer with an ergonomic design that makes it comfortable to hold and easy to use. Weight: Some users may find the tool to be heavier than others and thus less comfortable for extended use. Compatibility: Some models are compatible with other Milwaukee M12 batteries, which means you can use the same battery for multiple tools. Power: Look for a pin nailer with a high level of power, which will make it easier to drive nails into a variety of materials. Traditionally, professional carpenters and woodworkers had to rely on a compressor to drive 23-gauge pin nails. But over the last few years, the cordless battery revolution has reached pin guns too, severing the compressor cord. That increases the maneuverability of the tool greatly and cuts down on maintenance, both of the tool itself and the compressor. Milwaukee has embraced this fully embraced the cordless revolution and we highly rate their Milwaukee M18 Fuel Cordless 16-gauge Nailer, too.Adjustability: Look for a pin nailer that has an adjustable depth control, which allows you to set the depth of the nail to suit the task at hand. When choosing a Milwaukee M12 23 gauge pin nailer, there are a few factors you should consider to ensure that you select the right tool for your needs: As for the visibility and accuracy, it’s excellent. An LED light improves your visibility in low-light conditions. The nose is narrow enough to get an accurate position. Once we got used to the no-mar cover, we had no problem placing nails right on our grid intersections. The driver fires through the center of the nose, so you need to put the white arrow about 1/4-inch above your target. There’s a spare on the right side of the magazine if you lose or wear out the first.

A clever detail Milwaukee’s engineers added to the nailer is a magnet at the top of the magazine. It's big enough to hold a handful of nails that would otherwise slide right out of the tool when you reload or swap out fastener lengths. That helps cut down on frustration. There is a half tip that comes with the tool that reduces the bulk of the tool’s nose to increase visibility even more. It’s a nice option to have. Multiple Use: Milwaukee M12 23 gauge pin nailer are suitable for different tasks, such as woodworking, construction and DIY projects such as furniture making, picture framing, fastening small trims, and crown molding. Satisfied, I then turned to dial in the power. With 3/4-inch pin nails loaded, I needed to find the right balance of driving depth. Starting at the shallowest setting, I worked my way down until I found a depth that sank the nails just below the surface. I found it about 1/3 of the way through the range, leaving plenty of room for longer nails and harder woods. Battery life: If you are using the tool extensively, the battery life might not be enough to complete the task. Portability: Powered by the Milwaukee M12 Lithium-ion battery, which makes them portable, and allows for cordless use, allowing you to work anywhere.

Price: Compare the price of different models, consider the features you want, and choose the best value for your budget. Pneumatic and battery-powered 23-gauge nailers are roughly the same size, though when you add an air hose to pneumatics, that makes them more cumbersome to use. Unlike other nailer categories, there aren’t too many buying decisions when it comes to cordless 23-gauge nailers. They all have straight magazines and all fire the same kind of nails, though some opt for an 18-volt battery versus the lighter weight, less powerful 12 volts of the Milwaukee. Magazine capacity: Consider the size of the magazine and the number of nails it can hold. A larger magazine means less time spent reloading. Warranty: Look for a pin nailer that comes with a warranty from the manufacturer, which will protect your investment in case of any defects or problems.

The 23-gauge pin nailer is likely the one nail gun DIYers are unfamiliar with, especially compared to the popularity of 18-gauge tools. But professional carpenters and woodworkers have been using pneumatic 23-gauge nailers for years. Called a pin nailer, this class of tools – which can either rely on a compressor a rechargeable battery – fires a thin wire that has no head, or a very slight one. That means the hole they leave behind virtually disappears so you won’t have to fill, sand, and finish the wood, which is ideal for pre-finished parts. When it comes to finished material, like the moldings that accompany kitchen cabinets or pre-finished hardwood flooring, that speeds up installation. You can use any Milwaukee M12 battery to power the nailer, and we recommend using a 1.5Ah or 2.0Ah battery. The larger 4.0Ah and 6.0Ah work great, but you can get up to 750 shots out of a 1.5Ah, so we don’t see any reason to add the extra weight. Power: Milwaukee M12 23 gauge pin nailers are powerful and able to drive nails into a variety of materials with ease.

The depth adjustment itself is super-easy to use. The thumbwheel has roughly 35 points of adjustment. The wheel turns easily between each one and seats confidently. It’s not too hard on your thumb while still giving you defined depth positions. Generally, cordless 23-gauge nailers sink fasteners from 3/8 to 1 3/8-inches long. 23-gauge nails, when you look at them in a box, are essentially a row of wire strips bonded together. The end that drives into the wood has a slight chisel on it, and the other end might be bare or have a slight head on it. Because the head is so slight, manufacturers of the nails print an arrow on the bonded strips of fasteners indicating how to properly load them into the tool's magazine. A 23-gauge pin is roughly 1/4 of the size of an 18-gauge tool.
