    I just bit the bullet and bought one, because it's so precise and accurate without any adjustments, the flywheel/pin drive sets the depth exactly where you want it in virtually any material from hardwood to paneling whether you hit a stud or not without adjustment. never had results as good with air operated ones.

Lastly, such a weapon in my DeWalt arsenal will def assist in any of my future tasks.

    • @sterlinghearth3651
      @sterlinghearth3651 2 года назад +2

      People who complain about the wind up time do not understand how to use this nailer properly, or the advantages of its design. I keep mine on multi fire or bump fire mode, and pull the trigger before pressing the nail or against the work piece. This means it fires instantly whenever I put it where I want the nail. This makes it faster than other nailers, when firing single nails or multiple nails. It is fly wheel driven, not air driven. One advantage of this is that the weight of the nailer is in the head, not below the handle in front of the fist. This makes the weight balance much better on the wrist. I have the 18 gauge, 16 gauge, 15 gauge, and framing nailer. They are all awesome.

  • @stevem1081

In my email today, Harbor freight has theirs(Bauer brand)that comes with the nailer, charger and a 5ah battery for 89.98. I have a Bauer cordless drill and impact driver that work great, so I think that's what the nailer will be.

    Handymaning in my Scion xB, carrying the Ridgid compressor and brad nailer kit takes too much space, even though it’s an ultimate nailing machine. My friend had a Craftsman cordless one, but the quality is not great and not consistent. This Dewalt one, with high quality nailing, will save me a lot of space and effort!! It’s a bit annoying to bring in a compressor for 6 nails)) and with larger projects, I can always load the pneumatic kit beforehand.

  • @olli_k
    @olli_k Год назад

    I am on the fence on this. I spent almost $500 on a California Air Tools ultra quiet compressor, and almost $500 on three nail guns for the compressor. I got a nudge to get one a couple of weeks ago when I had to haul my compressor and nailer through a house to the stairs, up the stairs and then back to the other side of the house, just to nail a five foot piece of base.
    I have DeWalt tools already but have been considering team red. Mainly because of how small their cordless nailers are. BUT...that would be a huge investment to make to switch over.
    I like the convenience of cordless but I don't like the idea that I have another item to wear my batteries out with. My current batteries are starting to show their age and I am going to have to get new ones soon.
    Well...I may have to go this route but I'm going to wait for now. If I have a few more projects that make me lug my tools through a house jsut to get one small piece of trim up, that may be the final straw for me to take the plunge.
    Anyone else in the same position? Have you bitten the bullet and made the purchase? Was it really worth it? Do you find that the use cases you thought it would fill aren't really as frequent?

    As much as I think the final thought makes sense, it misses a huge factor. Lazyness, speed. When I'm working on a small project, I will simply skip getting the compressor, plug it in, getting the gun, load it, getting the hose untangled, I just don't feel like it, so I'll take the lazy, easy way out, I just won't do it properly, I will use clamps instead of brad nails to hold the glue etc. This is why I don't have my screw drivers in a box all neatly stored in their original cases, I need it right there on my bench board, ready to go. I just hate the whole hose/compressor deal.
