This finishing stapler is one of seven new heavy-duty air-powered nailers from the venerable Milwaukee, and the whole series is another testament to the red label’s unflagging quality. Like all of Milwaukee’s new nailers, this is incredibly light, even fully loaded, and its cool, compact size makes it a cinch to tote and use, especially in awkward positions and at the tail end of a long day.

But there’s no costly fuel cell to replace on this tool—-just pop on a recharged XRP battery and get back on the job. The only difference you’ll feel between this and a traditional pneumatic is that you’re...
Porter-Cable’s palm nailer is growing in popularity among both woodworkers and contractors alike–and for good reason.

Another great feature: you’re not restricted to one type of nail. Fatigue is minimal, thanks to its light weight (just 2-1/2 pounds!) and ergonomic design. The kit comes...
