Hey everyone! I'm really curious about when Milwaukee will release a lighter version of their updated framing gun. I'm getting pretty impatient and I'm thinking about just getting the new Hikoki framer because of its lightweight design and skew nailing features. Any insights?

It sounds like you're asking about the Metabo HPT framing nailer, right? If so, I don’t have a specific link to share, but I know they're a popular choice in Australia since Hikoki is what they go by there!
The Milwaukee Pipeline is where a lot of new tools get announced, but keep in mind it can take a while for them to hit the shelves. We still haven’t seen some tools announced back in Pipeline 2024! Honestly, I’d say go for the Hikoki, especially since you might end up with an extra charger and batteries that can power you through a full day's work. Plus, they have some unique tools that Milwaukee doesn't like the mini dust blower.
Thanks for the detailed info! It helps a lot.

Yeah, I'm aware of that! Thanks for the heads-up!
