Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18 Gauge Straight Finish Nailer FN18GS-0 – Bare Unit
The Milwaukee M18 FUEL FN18GS-0 18 Gauge Straight Finish Nailer is a professional 18V cordless nail gun designed for precise, consistent fastening in finish carpentry, joinery, cabinet making and woodworking. Powered by Milwaukee M18 FUEL™ technology, it combines cordless convenience with the performance needed for detailed finishing work in both hardwoods and softwoods.
Using a 0° straight nail configuration, the Milwaukee M18 finish nailer delivers accurate nail placement and a neat finish. Its design helps produce smaller nail holes, reducing visible marks on finished surfaces and making it suitable for applications where appearance matters.
Milwaukee's Ready to Fire Nail Technology eliminates ramp-up time between nail discharges, helping maintain productivity during repetitive fastening tasks. Tool-free depth adjustment allows you to set the nail driving depth to suit the material, while the Dry-Fire lockout prevents firing when the magazine is empty.
Designed for demanding professional use, the FN18GS-0 also features quick-access jam clearing, interchangeable shaped nose options stored onboard and an integrated LED work light. With no gas cartridges, compressor or pneumatic hose required, it offers greater freedom of movement around workshops and jobsites.
