today we have got the new milwaukee fencing stapler yes it is new out
this year and we are one of the first to try it we're going to see what the
fuss is all about and i say that because it's called the fsus oh yes it's 18 volt
it's supposed to be amazing we've got lots of staples let's go and put them in some posts
so i thought as a professional machine we'd be joined with a professional so we've got adam
here from kef fencing good friend of mine he's got the stockade gun and he's been using that
now for a while and apparently he quite likes it shall we see if we can convince him that he
needs a milwaukee instead shall we see if this is better than that i don't know let's find out
there's the main difference between this and what most people are already used to on the market is
this is just one battery your normal m18 battery that you get on the milwaukee just clip it in
and pretty much off you go whereas that one you've got a battery you put onto it and also you've got
to put a gas canister into it and that's pretty much how most stable guns have been so far but
this one is very different and the biggest concern everyone's been asking is it as quick as a gas one
right so eight staples each in the same post with the same wire you can see he gets to the bottom
and then we're going to swap guns because he's probably going to be cooking me at this anyway
and will's going to count us in so right well when you're ready three
two one go hang on hang on hang on i have to turn my gun on doesn't it
well i'm gonna have a practice first we'll do it properly in a minute
what's going on now oh you clipped that
oh look at this see good job because somebody knows what they're doing okay
three two one go
i missed the sledding
all the profit's gone yeah right let's just finish that off there we go one there
and one there and um yeah right let's swap over and do another two posts right this time i got the
stock i didn't have to got the milwaukee so count us in will when you're ready three two one good
did he beat me not bad guy he still beat me
the milwaukee m18 fuel utility fencing stapler delivers a completely battery-powered solution
using their nitrogen spring technology power state brushless motor and redlink intelligence
compatible with all m18 batteries allowing you to run even more products from the same
platform using a 3 amp hour high output battery milwaukee state you can drive in
600 staples on one charge with the most noticeable benefit of not requiring any gas
to power this machine the stapler is compatible with the own design of 9 gauge 40 millimeter 45
millimeter and 50 millimeter barbed staples can fire up to two staples per second has
an led work light for when working into the night changeable belt hook and tool-free adjustment all
right so this is 10 staples into an old post and we're going to see who gets 10 seconds in first
and go from there see if it is as good as a gas gun right count the thing well three two one go
uh hang on one two three four five six seven eight nine ten that's about the same one yeah how did
you do one two three four five six we went to the same school so gotta make sure we can still count
did you do eleven one two three four five six seven eight nine i know you're just a
tenser all right yeah right should we see if reverse works because
this one's got reverse oh really yeah yeah oh this one ain't got reverse yeah yeah
they'll sell millions of them and if you believe that you'll believe
anything right so to fill it up you can pull that one back there out of the way i'm using 40 mils
we've got 40 mils and we've got 50 mils pop there move the top with there like so slide them up
put that on down over there and slide them up so it'll fit two
magazines as it were in each time look at this difference in that it's mad i can drive in that
you can have your staples and slide them in that way i guess that's one way to do it
lock that back up again james there we go and they slide up and then you pull your clip and it pulls
up nice and tight look at that so one thing i did mention is that because it's a little bit more
slender than the gas ones it's not quite as bulky it's gonna be a lot easier for going in behind
post so when you've got a turn and your fence back behind you're gonna get in behind the post
it's gonna be a lot lot easier i think one of the most important things about this gun to mention is
the depth gauge on your staples how far you want to put your staple into the piece of wood because
it's completely tallest all you got here is this little wheel that you turn so if you want to drive
your staple right the way into your piece of wood you can or if you want to leave it proud you can
when you're fencing you don't want your staple in tight against your wire for one it marks the wire
and creates corrosion and secondly you want your wire to be able to move in between to allow for
flex in the wood and also so that if you ever want to pull it up a little bit tighter again you've
got that availability let's say you're putting in mild steel wire and you want the staple to be
really proud so it'll still slide through you can wind that right out and let's pop it in there on
that side there and boom so there we are you can see it's really proud you've got about what a six
seven mil gap in between that so you've got plenty of slide and this is on 40 mil staples so
it's only probably in about 30 mil and in total allowing for the size of the staple now if we wind
that back a little bit further to roughly where you'd be on like high tensile wire onto there so
you still want to leave a little bit proud but you want as much staple in the wood as possible
pop that one in there there we go so you can see you've got about a three mil gap on that there
so it's really easy to see this on here because you've got little white lines and little red lines
as you wind that up and down you can see where that depth is so right let's wind that right down
and send this staple all the way home into the piece of wood there we go berry and it comes
there we go that 40 mil staple is completely flush to the top piece of that timber right let's try it
with 50 mil staples the 50mm staples going exactly the same take the 40s out and put the 50s right
in you haven't got to adjust anything or change anything it just goes into the same magazine and
up and you know you can even put the 40s in behind if you wanted to for any reason whatsoever i don't
know why you want to do that but anyway there we go 50 is in that goes 50 mil staples this is going
to be driving it right home see if it drives it in the same depth as what it does on the 40 mils
40 mil for 50 mil in there proud as much as what the 40 is that's quite impressive right let's
wind it out to the third line as we were on that one so third line there we go on a 50 mil staple
and boom there we go i think it's pretty even from that one to that one and then let's pull it right
out see how high we can make a 50mm staple for those strange jobs where you want it that high
but there we go look at that it's about even the 40 mil so all that's doing is sending the 50mm
in deeper it's not leaving it out any further so you can go from 40s to 50s on a fence line and you
still know exactly how far that staple is going to be in or out i think that's really really cool
and obviously 50 ml staples is fairly impressive for a gun like this 15 mil sap let's wind that
right the way out and drive in just ten staples why not you got one two three four five six
seven eight nine ten all flush all the way in uh i'm not going to get them back out again i
don't reckon not of any ease anyway i'm not gonna do that on camera let's get back to the fencing
so
right well i thought i better have another go in it see if i'm any good yet adam is obviously you
know experienced speaking volumes but it is such an easy machine to use without a shell over that
obviously with experience you become quicker but that is beautiful it's amazing right hammer verse
this see which is quicker because i like a hammer test i actually won a hammering hammering
competition and nailing competition i'm not sure which is worse in germany once because yeah
i like nailing with a hammer three two one go i'll give you a bit of edge
you're giving me a head start yeah it's very kind of you dude i appreciate it
oh you got a girl hammer mate what are you trying to compensate for
proper ammo i was gonna try to keep them all on the same side of the thing there we go ah
it's been a long time since i've done this i knew i should have bought my stanley hammer not this um
i know he's still not going to beat me now surely
have i done too many no i've got right amount that's all right
look at that yes i won sort of
yeah yeah pretty much proof in the pudding there right i think it's pretty obvious that
the old stable gum is going to beat the hammer but what's your thoughts do you like it yes good gun
it's um yeah it's definitely yeah as fast as a gas one it's as fast as a gas gun good um doesn't have
any i do so that's a major bonus i do like the feature on the side for you know putting in your
depth your staple depth it's easy to do other ones you say you've got to have a tool for is
all right yeah allen key you know which you don't want to be running back to your truck or anything
yeah i suppose the most interesting thing would be to see does it hold up to the weather conditions
yeah definitely fencing contractors aren't using it in beautiful nice weather days like today
no this is going to be used in all weathers make sure that that little mechanism doesn't
rust up yeah yeah and that's just with the normal batteries as a kit when you buy this it comes with
a high output three amp hours just for weight purposes probably but that's with a four amp
power battery and we've done well what 100 staples and it hasn't moved on the bar on the level of the
gun which you wouldn't expect it to really so the battery is going to go for a long long time
weight-wise what do you think yes good weight yeah good weight um hope you're in the gathering i'd
say it's a little bit heavy in the gas one right but it's a lot more compact yeah compared to the
to the gas gun quite like it's even got a hook like a hammer there yeah yeah and i think the
reverse function is probably the best bit and the fluoresce function is brilliant it's sold
yeah i think you could pull staples out with a milwaukee design
a machine that pulls staples out with ease doesn't matter how long they've been in the post
they are there's a challenge for you anyway thank you very much for
watching please like share and subscribe and we'll see in the next one cheerio
