A friend came over with his Milwaukee battery powered pin nailer. It was used in the shop where I have piped compressed air, so not problem having an air supply. Still, nice to be free of the air hose. As for using air tools in a home (brad, finish etc.), that seems where battery powered would really shine. No more noisy compressor to lug around and hear. No more moving it to different locations to the air hose will reach and having long hoses in the way.
Unless I am missing something, seems like this has not been discussed in the last several years, and perhaps people now have more experience with the newer tools. The friend who loves his Milwaukee pin nailer did not have any particular feedback for me on something like this:

I currently use the 18v Milwaukee batteries on my hydraulic driver, and so having the same brand would be nice. However, I am not married to the brand. My current brad and finish nailers are very old Sencos.
Anyone make the switch and have feedback to offer?
