M18 FUEL™ 16 Gauge Angled Finish Nailer

Product Description – Milwaukee 2842-20 M18 FUEL™ 16 Gauge Angled Finish Nailer

The Milwaukee 2842-20 M18 FUEL™ 16 Gauge Angled Finish Nailer is a professional cordless finish fastening tool designed for trim carpenters, remodelers, and contractors who need pneumatic-level performance with the convenience of cordless operation. Built on Milwaukee’s M18 FUEL platform, it delivers fast, consistent nail driving power without compressors, hoses, or gas cartridges.

This 16-gauge angled finish nailer uses a POWERSTATE™ brushless motor combined with a nitrogen air spring mechanism to drive finish nails cleanly into both hardwood and softwood materials. It is engineered for general trim and finish applications where a balance of holding strength and minimal surface damage is required, making it ideal for baseboards, casing, crown molding, and cabinetry work.

The tool is designed for zero ramp-up time, meaning it fires immediately and consistently from shot to shot, improving productivity on repetitive trim tasks. Sequential and contact actuation modes allow users to switch between precision placement and faster firing depending on the job.

A tool-free depth adjustment system ensures consistent nail set depth across different materials, while a dry-fire lockout helps prevent damage to both the work surface and the tool. The angled magazine improves access in tight corners and awkward trim positions where straight nailers struggle.

REDLINK PLUS™ intelligence continuously monitors tool and battery performance, helping prevent overload and overheating while maintaining consistent driving force under load.
