New Milwaukee M18 Fencing Stapler FFUS Staple Gun = Game Changer!

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
