Nice tool. The cordless 18V air compressor is going to solve a bunch of problems, so I am staying with pneumatic tools just because air am invested in them. What I REALLY NEED IS AN 18V ROOF COIL NAILER. Thanks for the video Vince !!!!!
I miss when tools came with quality cases. The old school DeWalt XR and XRP cases were the best cases of any brand. Hilti used to do the same cases up until a couple years ago.
If you received a case with every tool then you would not be inclined to purchase the roll a way pack out or any of the pack out box kits or storage systems. Plus the cost of providing a case for every tool sold raises the cost of the product. I have a case for my drill and impact driver. it collects dust in my attic as my hammer drill and impact sit in a pack out with several other Milwaukee tools along with various pry bars and hand tools. I will add that my m12 multi drill came with a soft case and I am not thrilled about that but it works.
When I put a few of these together for my studio, I framed around dense rockwool insulation and covered it all up with some of the thinnest fabric that I could find in a roll. Carpet isn’t necessary unless you don’t have anything on the inside to absorb the sound. You want to absorb the sound, not reflect it.
I was not sure of buying the Narrow Crown Stapler mainly because of price. After watching this video I ordered one as it will have lots of use with remodeling. Thanks, Vince
Im an audio engineer and I'll tell you first hand that Ive tried all types of egg cartons for sound proofing. Its by far the worst to use! My ear could tell big time and I used a decibel meter to find out the best. Egg was the worst, stacked towels stapled in a frame hung on the wall worked better than industrial rated acoustic treatment. Any other sound engineer will tell you egg cartons dont work.
I bought one of these. I'm on a job right now and it stopped working after less than one stick of staples. It's going back. It sucks, now I have to get out the compressor, hose and gun. At least they have never let me down.
Just pick this tool up from the Home Depot. Customer called because his floor boots had fallen into the floor. He need to get them secured for his air duct cleaning service happening next week. Nice and convenient. No air hoses or compressor noise to deal with in the customers home. We used 1/4 x 1-1/4 narrow crown staples
Another great video Vince! When I consider this stapler being heavier than a pneumatic nailer, besides it being more maneuverable, I also factor in that I'm not lifting the weight of 10 or so feet of air hose in some use cases.
8:05 WOW, really going “ham” on the staples there, lol. Pretty cool that tool keeps up with ya; but I wouldn’t want be they person to have to remove the staples if reuse that box......cuz there’s so many 😅 Thought your test, & thoughts were well done, & gave us some real world “use”👍🏻 Cheers✌🏼
For on wall treatments make an open sided box i do 2x4 ft 2 or 3 in thick. Fill them with Rockwool and wrap the open side with velvet. Any material you can easily breath through with it tight over your mouth is a good measure of its acoustic transparency. I have made tons of these for home theaters and they work great.
@@thebrokenbone It would probably work okay, but I would probably avoid it because of its look and the way it fibers. Honestly I have never tried it personally so I don't know, but I don't think I would anyway just because of the rough texture of it doesn't really work for me.
I’m actually looking to buy this tool for the same exact type of job, building sound panels. Thankful for this video haha, would love to see your experiences and tutorial on this project.
That's sweet! I don't need one because I have a pneumatic one in my basement, and that is the only place I use a stapler for projects, but were I in need, I would surely be getting this one!
Just from what I know about sheetrocking sound proof walls.. a air gap is what helps take most of the recoil.. so I would figure out something that almost sways differently from that wall almost making that gap and so the panel will soak up much of the vibrations (I think it's called z canal.. you're supposed put a first layer of sheettock and install the z canal over that and then sheetrock to the canal and then finish the sheetrock - roxul always helps)
Will this do brads? Harbor freight air stapler do both brad and crown (unsure the max width but it is an option nonetheless... I know they have a Brad nailer just curious.
More deeperness.....ya spaghetti munchin fool ;-) PS thanks for the review. I am not sure why I waited so long to buy the stapler after the GenII brad nailer and the framer work so well, but here I am in 2021 pulling the trigger.
I have a HUGE job of cedar shingling the sides of our two-story 1912 house. I want to get away from the drag of a hose while on a ladder. You think this tool will work hour after hour, day after day? Thanks!
I’m almost two years late to the party but Guilford of Maine fr701 was the standard the last time I was in the business. I thought I got it from Rose Brand but they don’t appear to stock it. Don’t be putting carpet on your walls if you’re adverse to fire damage like the most of us.
Hey Vince I mentioned you in my live stream about how you might be busy making a new tool review video and lord an behold, you were 😆 great video man. 👍
That thing is amazing!!! Just one question though. With no ramp up time does it require any type of gas? I mean the DeWalt you hear that motor running on their nailers and staplers all the time. Not that it's super loud but if Milwaukee found a way to eliminate that.., that is very impressive👍👍👍😜
Dumb question... Im new to carpentry. Would this work for attaching shiplap in side a cabin or should I get a Finish nailer that shoots longer regular nails. Or can this fire those too or only staples.
@@VCGConstruction thank you for the reply I was just debating whether or not to get the M12 jigsaw or the 20 volt dewalt palm sander jig saw they both look compatible to each other
Well money tight and I don't do stuff as you like you construction work vcg / but did stuff so I got the hart stapler to day it works good for whT I need
Just got mine today, trigger does not feel nearly as good as the m18 brad nailer. Doesn’t have the smoothness or click. Did you notice a difference between the two Vince?
Hi, what does the "nitrogen air spring mechanism" mean? Does the electric motor drive some kind of small compressor inside the nailer, or does it drive the staple mechanically?
