Hey everyone! I mainly use my Milwaukee M12 and M18 tools for metalworking, but I'm looking to get a nailer for some home projects like shed framing and indoor remodeling. Although I can manage with a hammer, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Milwaukee 21-degree nailer (model 2744-20). Is it a good choice, or is there a better option for framing out there? Thanks in advance for your advice!

I have a 30-degree nailer I use as a weekend warrior, and I really love it. I think the design on the Milwaukee is better than Dewalt’s. I wouldn't go for the Paslode gas option—they tend to sit unused for long stretches. As for the Metabo, it's the only other contender I thought about but was already invested in Milwaukee when I bought mine.
I've got the 21-degree model, and it's fantastic. It can handle pretty much everything you throw at it, but just a heads up—it's pretty heavy, so make sure to pair it with a 2.0 or 3.0 battery for better performance.
I recently grabbed this model, and it’s a beast! Once I dialed in the depth, it really stood up to everything I needed. Totally recommend it!
Thanks for the input!
