Hey everyone! I still use this framer but recommend you check out the Milwuakee or Hitachi. When I bought this gun it was the only cordless out there for years, besides the Paslode. Shortly after I originally posted this review Milwaukee and Hitachi came out with framers. I haven't had a chance to review those yet but they look like they might jam up less and they don't make the noise this DeWalt makes to fire. I run Milwuakee's finish nailers on DeWalt batteries though a battery adapter and let me tell ya, I don't miss the noise. See ya!
This is a man that knows his stuff! Precise, concise, detailed n short video. Learned a lot n I'll surely retain it since the video wasn't 18min long. Thank u. Subscribed
I'm a 25 year experienced contractor and dewalt battery everything is the best thing ever. When your installing a door or whatever it sucks to get the Compressor and hoses out and make sure you don't trip a breaker. Battery power is awesome Sure it has its drawbacks but portability is key in our trade. Especially when 30 ft off the ground nailing up some facia. Or up in some rafters with your hose all tangled up leaking air and getting holes in them all the time.
Thanks for being thorough, I probably should have read more of the manual. I just got mine and bought some plastic collated nails, and it was leaving them about an inch from being fully sunken. Now I know why. Thanks!
Will keep my 23 year old Hitatchi NR83A. The thing is a dependable beast and gold standard of air nailers imo. There's something about the way it feels, the sounds it makes and the way the paint wears over the years that I find satisfying.
Great review …you have a real knack for these reviews... keep u the great work... i was looking to buy a the Dewalt nailer ...but i may just stay with my pneumatic ... thanks.. good job...BB
Good review, I was up in the air about going cordless to air for a small shed build. Since I already have numerous Dewalt 20V and 60V tool line, it made sense to go cordless. Since the 30 degree can be had for under $300 and a good air gun is $300 without the compressor and hose. Thanks, you gave me all the info I needed.
A little more I'd say is maybe grab a Milwuakee gun along with a battery adapter from Amazon and try it with your D batteries. You have a choice these days. Not saying adapters are safe or unsafe to use, just saying I like them for certain tools, nail guns being one of many.
I just bought one from CL from a contractor who thought he would use it more but being a builder he didnt have much need for it as he uses pneumatics mostly. I bought a property with several outbuildings that need repairs so this will be perfect as there is no power there. So far I used it on a couple roof braces and framed in a window and it worked really well. So far so good for a used tool.
Corey Mcevilly Yeah he cut me a good deal on that because i also bought his used dewalt thickness planer from him. It was one of those” the more you buy the better deals you get” things.
Thanks for the review. I’ve been looking to get another tool for my 20volt collection and it’s between this and a 7 1/4 inch miter saw then probably a jigsaw.
I think you should consider the Milwaukee framing nailer with a battery adapter. I haven’t tried it yet but I have retired all my other dewalt guns in favor of the Milwaukees. Started using me adapter dewalt batteires but now just carry a couple 5 amp milwaukees which last all day.
Great video , thank you . I got this and the DCN660 for £507 on a deal ,as bare units . The weights OK, I use a 2ah battery . It's very quiet . Bump most is a lot of fun . Although the kit is more expensive in 🇬🇧 the nails are cheaper , I guess more choice from Europe . Plenty of space in a Tstak IV for both .
the really big advantage is portability. where paslode left off, dewalt takes it into the future. you could essentially use a solar charging station in a remote cabin. and run all your 20v tools all day. or in a place were a generator could not be used.
That would be great for roof framing, not having to drag around a hose. I'm invested in the Milwaukee m18 platform so I've been waiting for them to come out with a framing nailer...I'm still waiting.
Great review - rented the tool from Home Depot to replace boards on my deck - jammed a lot and and also found it would not fire the last 6 nails of each cartridge
Hey ToolRev, I really love your channel. I am looking into getting my father a birthday present. He has almost every tool in the world, as he is a contractor.This nailgun is awesome! I'm debating between this and the DCF620B Drywall Screw Gun w/ a collated nail attachment. If you have a review coming on that, it would be greatly appreciated.
Hey Dylan, the framing nailer is a great addition to any pro kit. I'm glad to have it in addition to my pneumatic. I will have a review on the drywall gun but that's a few months out. And thanks for the compliment.
For small jobs the battery operated nailers can't be beat. For large jobs the air actuated nailers are lighter, faster, and quite honestly are more heavy duty/will last longer. I would add that air nailers are often cheaper in the long run for those who use these tools professionally. Compare the costs of the generator and air tank against yearly battery replacement and it becomes clear. That being said, there is still a battery operated nailer on my Amazon wish list.
great review just got the dewalt framing gun Im a plumber not a framer most of my use is for blocking and replacing studs.Pasload use to be my choice until I droped it off my ladder damn thing shit the bed being the same price I decided to go with Dewalt dont have to worry about running out of gas (all my other tools are dewalt 20 and 60 volt ) I dont see it being a trade tool for a framer on a regular basis but for a plumber,electrician,ac,remodeler its an great tool
Agreed, not fast or reliable enough for full time framing but great for remodeling and plumbing. If you get a chance let us know how the Dewalt's kickback compares to your old gas nailer.
I also have the same Makita air compressor that you have in the back of your truck. Ive had it for a bout 5 years now. it is awesome and such low noise that customers actually like the soothing sound of it. compared to the pancake ones that make that god awful raaaaawrrrr racket.
Ya, it sounds pretty good. The first one I got had a faulty paint job. Once it got a nick, the paint just started flaking off. Because of that I've been careful with the new unit, which is a little annoying. It might be too pretty for a tool :)
Mine wont work after some 30 or 40 nails just keeps flashing both lights on the rear. I checked the spring's, no jams or stuck nails. Next day works just fine. Ive only had it for 4 months nearest repair center is 2 hours away. Good luck with yours
I paid to ship a bad flexvolt battery in 4 months ago and still haven't received one back. Hopefully they'll be faster with your repair. Maybe yours is overheating for some reason.
paid to ship and 4 months.. wow and i was surprised it took milwuakee 2 weeks to ship parts to my local repair center, my brushed 18v drill was getting HOT so the local guy said i should bring it in before it burnt up, he replaced the brush board and possibly some other bits but it took 2 weeks fro milwuakee to send him the parts under warranty not bad as i have a few cordless drills and impacts, but if it had been my circ saw or grinder i wouldnt of been impressed i use those alot and dont have backups, not cordless ones anyway
I run all Dewalt 20 V but I have not got any of the nail guns, still using Pneumatic but I am thinking about investing in the nail guns as soon as I can. I need the Crown stapler and the framing gun I do Garage doors and a few other things, I do not really need the 18 Gauge and 15 Gauge but I want them anyway. Lol
Nice review man, very mellow voice, by the way can you use the nail with plastic with the Dewalts? I have that but I don't use it on the same model Dewalts framing nailer you have because I don't want to damage my nailer, let me know if it can thanks.
I've never tried to run plastic through my DeWalt 30° cordless nailer. They might load but I would guess they would jam or not drive well. DeWalt has a newer 21°cordless framer for plastic strips.
I haven't tested them yet so I can't tell you from experience, but I hear the Milwaukee and Hitachi are silent and maybe a little faster, where the DeWalt is a little lighter with better balance. Air nailers are superior to any of these battery nailers as far as performance. These nailers are good candidates for battery adapters because overheating isn't really an issue with nailers so I would buy them all, get the adapters for whatever batteries you have and return the two you don't want. And don't forget to let me know what you end up with.🧐
I bought a used one. Dumb question. Does it need the nails inserted to see if it works? I don’t hear anything with a charged battery, unlocked, no nails, and pushed down into some wood. Just curious if I bought a dud.
If you pull the trigger or push down without nails in single fire mode you won't hear anything. If you pull the trigger in bump mode with no nails you will hear the motor spin up.
I haven't reviewed it yet. I'd probably go for the 21° for the centered full round head nails as opposed to the 30° offset full round heads. In my area plastic is cheaper, comes in more variety, and is more readily available off the shelf.
I'd give it another shot brother. I use mine almost daily with a 5 amp xr to sink 3'' galvanized Paslodes. Jamming non-stop and failing to sink 3'' nails is user error. The DeWalt jams/stalls more, kicks more when toe nailing, and splits wood easier than my pneumatic. That said, I wouldn't be without it.
@@toolrev I used my 60v and it still jammed. Seems like they either work great or not at all. I must've gotten a bad batch. It's a shame because I love DeWalt, I have 12 cordless tools and 16 batteries. This would've got perfect.
A bigger battery may sink nails better but I've found it's more about technique. I also bought a second gun thinking my first was defective. Turned out to be user error.
@@toolrev I don't think so, the homeowner I'm building a house for just bought one. I tried his, worked fine. Just a small delay. I hate to say it, I still prefer the Paslode. Shoots faster, way more power and it's just better built in my opinion. I'll give it another shot in 5 years.
Is that a smooth or a ring shank? Just curious bought one today and just trying to make sure I use the right ones. The manual says it used smooth and ring shank. Online says it Accepts any 30° - 34° paper tape framing nails (clipped head or off set full round head)
Hi, can you help me? Im building birdhouses and I bought this tool for the builds. I'm looking for a low impact small as possible nail/pin fo this application as I'm using ply wood for the builds. Can you help? Thanks!
The smallest nail for this gun is a 2'' x .113. You might do better with a finish nailer and solid 1x material. Probably some "how to make a bird house" videos that show what gun/nails work best. Good luck.
@@toolrev i had to ply a truss roof up and over as it was having a copper roof . It was dense 1 inch exterior ply 8×4s . My dewault would not do it the nails jam or bend . I ended up getting my paslode out it did the job .
Oops, I accidentally deleted my last comment. Ya, that's weird the DeWalt wouldn't sink through 1'' ply. Like a said before I just use it on 3/4 ply with no issue. But I take your point about the Paslode picking up where the DeWalt failed.
Man, finally a review without a bunch of bullshit, you mean your not gonna make me listen to a bunch of jungle rap shit or tell me how many trucks or boats you own, you're just gonna stick to the product? Thanks!
@@toolrev I have the dewault and also the new paslode , problem with paslode is the nails are very expensive and the gas very expensive most contractors wont provide them . When a gun starts to go wrong its time to buy a new one . Many joiners in the uk lease a gun now that way you just send it in for repair and they give you a gun to use until it is fixed .
Here you can rebuild the DeWalt yourself with a new pin and springs for about $110. But with Milwaukee putting out what looks to be a near pneumatic style cordless 21° and 30° framing nailer, I might look in that direction. Do you have Milwaukee in the UK? Is a joiner a carpenter? Lease, really? Interesting place this UK. :)

awesome review and details on clearing jams. thanks
Thanks for the review, I just bought this nail gun and looking forward to using it.
Quick note: the weight I very noticeable in hand.
I find keeping a couple drops of oil on the drive pin really helps keeping the gun from stalling or the pin getting stuck.

Depends on what size/type you need. As long as it's a 30° paper. My go-to is a 3'' x .131.

Have you reviewed the 20V Dewalt 21 degree framing nail gun? any thought on the benifits of choosing the Dewalt 21 degree VS this 30 Degree
I haven't reviewed it yet. I'd probably go for the 21° for the centered full round head nails as opposed to the 30° offset full round heads. In my area plastic is cheaper, comes in more variety, and is more readily available off the shelf.
Bought two returned two. I wasn't impressed at all. Both jammed non stop and wouldn't sink 3" Paslode nails.

honestly the paslode is miles better, although it is worth mentioning more expensive to use.
So will the 30 degree gun shoot a 3-1/4” .131 nail?
yes
Can I use the plastic coil nails in the DeWalt gun?
Their 21 degree shoots plastic, the 30 shoots paper.
21 degree nailers shoot plastic the 30s shoot paper. DeWalt has both in cordless. I'd check out the Milwaukee as well.

Mine says it can only use paper collated, not plastic. Does anyone use the plastic collated nails with this?
21° nailers use plastic 30° nailers use paper
Does it have to use dewalt nails?
Any 30° paper nails will work. I use Paslode.
Nope! I'll check again withing 10 years so by now I still prefer my pneumatic nailer
Can you finishing nails with 692 20v nailer?
No you need a finish nailer. I prefer the Milwaukee gen 2 15, 18 and 23 gauge nailers for finish work.
Thanks for the help! Jack

But with Milwaukee putting out what looks to be a near pneumatic style cordless 21° and 30° framing nailer, I might look in that direction. Do you have Milwaukee in the UK? Is a joiner a carpenter? Lease, really? Interesting place this UK. :)
Stick with ridgid anyways eh
