Milwaukee nailer nailing a board to a wall

Ready to Ditch the Air Compressor? Meet the Milwaukee 2745-20 M18 FUEL 30 Degree Framing Nailer

Are you tired of hauling around hoses and air compressors on every job? If you’re looking for a way to streamline your workflow without sacrificing power or speed, the Milwaukee 2745-20 M18 FUEL 30 Degree Framing Nailer is worth a closer look.
Why Go Cordless?
  • No Compressor, No Hoses: Say goodbye to setup time and tripping hazards. The M18 FUEL 30 Degree Framing Nailer runs entirely on Milwaukee’s M18 REDLITHIUM battery platform.
  • Full Pneumatic Performance: Delivers the same power as a traditional pneumatic nailer—drives full 3-1/2” nails into engineered lumber and dense materials with consistent depth.
  • Zero Ramp-Up: Fires as fast as you can pull the trigger, with no delay between shots. Milwaukee’s nitrogen spring mechanism and POWERSTATE brushless motor deliver instant response.
  • All-Day Run Time: Get up to 700 nails per charge with an M18 5.0Ah battery (battery sold separately). That’s enough to frame most jobs without stopping to recharge or swap out batteries.
  • Tool-Free Adjustments: Depth of drive and jam clearing are both tool-free, so you can make quick adjustments on the fly and keep working.
  • Lighter and More Portable: Without the bulk of a compressor and hoses, this nailer is easier to carry and maneuver—especially on ladders, roofs, or tight spaces.
Extended Magazine Option: Even More Productivity
  • Upgrade with the Milwaukee 48-08-2745 Extended Capacity Magazine: Tired of frequent reloads? The optional extended magazine lets you load two full strips of nails at once, doubling your capacity and reducing downtime on the job. Perfect for big framing projects where every minute counts.
Does It Really Keep Up?
  • Speed: Fires up to 3 nails per second—comparable to most pneumatic models.
  • Durability: Built for jobsite conditions, with a magnesium housing and reinforced bumpers.
  • Versatility: Accepts 30-degree paper tape nails, making it compatible with what you’re already using.
  • Less Maintenance: No compressor oil, no hoses to check for leaks, and fewer moving parts to service.
Bottom Line
If you’re looking for a framing nailer that keeps up with the demands of professional framing, but want to leave the compressor in the truck, the Milwaukee 2745-20 M18 FUEL 30 Degree Framing Nailer delivers. Pair it with the 48-08-2745 extended magazine for even greater productivity and less downtime.
