I had two guns I had problems with and took back. The Bostitch 2" brad nailer, and the 1-1/2 " stapler took both back they leaked I think from the triger assemblies and the driver wouldn't retract all the way.
Don't know about the milwaukee guns.

yea, it always seems to be with the trigger assembly. Milwaukee won't be out till summer but they offer a 5 year warranty. Today I just found out from my supplier Bostich just uped the ante alittle. Now they offer a seven year warranty. They are gonna take a serious beating unless they fix their trigger assemblys.
I have an older Bostitch that has only driven about 250K nails (N60FN, 15 ga. angle nailer). The trigger assembly began to leak a couple of weeks ago. I'm taking it in for repairs next week.
I bought one of the newer N62s. A lot lighter, but they claim to be "oil-less", which bothers me a little.
