Very nice tool
Style: Brad Nailer Kit
I needed a replacement gun ASAP so looked on Amazon and found this one. It was delivered next day between 4:00 and 8:00 AM. I am so pleased with this air tool, it came ready to work right out of the box. All that was needed was the air hose. Read the owners manual and safety precautions and proceeded to to try it out. I could not be happier with this gun. Was able to finish my job quickly, It never jammed or misfired. Looks to be substantial in build quality and really good value for the price. It will shoot from 5/8" to 2" 18 GA nails so really versatile. The size of this tool is equivalent to the one it needed to replace. Overall I give this 5 stars and highly recommend. Just a final FYI, In 2012 I worked at one of the big box home improvement centers. At that time this tool was selling for $189.00. I worked in tools and hardware. ... show more

Dependable and Easy to Use
Style: Brad Nailer Kit
This DEWALT 18-gauge brad nailer has been a dependable tool for me. It’s easy to load, easy to use, and so far it has worked every time I’ve needed it. I like that it handles a good range of brad nail sizes, and for the price it has been a solid value. If you already have an air compressor and want a simple, reliable brad nailer for projects around the house or shop, I would recommend it. ... show more

Perfect for Novice or Experienced Craftsperson
Style: Brad Nailer Kit
I wish I had purchased a pneumatic nailer decades ago. My thumbs and the heels of both hands would have appreciated not using hammers and manual push type nailing devices to install shoe moulding. I delayed because I had "only" 50-60 feet at a time to install. Working on a project with 400-500 linear feet of shoe moulding to install, against baseboards which had not been properly nailed to the wall (studs) or not even nailed at all, I was looking for a simple, fast, and efficient way to nail finger-joint, MDF and regular wooden baseboard to the sole-plate and to studs before installing MDF shoe moulding. I started with the old hammer, nail-set, brad-pusher method I had used, but it was obvious that with a home constructed using today's slam-bam move-on construction methods, I needed something to quickly drive nails into a shoddily framed home. By that I mean studs on 14", 16", 24" centers, incomplete sole plates at the bottom of the wall board, etc. Stuff that when using a conventional hammer and finish nails is beat to a pulp or the wallboard is loosened by continual hammering, and on and on. I am SO HAPPY that I did the research to purchase a top-quality list of items to put together an easy to use nailing rig. I will list these items at the end, but back to this Brad Nailer review. It arrived quickly (fulfillment by Amazon Prime). Nicely packaged in the injection molded plastic cases included with many DeWalt tools and some brads to get you started. A quick look at the instructions, load with nails, and start nailing. I took some scrap lumber and shot about 10 nails into it to get a feel for aiming, power and depth setting. Everything worked perfectly out of the box. Dirt-something-simple. I was delighted. For the shoe moulding, I was working with 1" brads. 90 pounds of air-pressure and the factory depth setting was perfect to leave a tiny hole in the MDF with the brad top about a 1/16" below moulding surface. For areas where the baseboard needed to be nailed down, I moved to 2 1/4" brads, upped air-pressure to 100 lbs., and clicked the depth setting two-clicks deeper. Easy to read and understand icons let you know exactly which way to turn the detent wheel (forward of the trigger on the underside of the gun) to raise or lower brad depth. It was wonderful to pull the baseboard tight against the wallboard - with just a click of the trigger! In reading nail gun reviews, dry-firing is evidently bad and can damage the hammering mechanism. This unit has an easily visible yellow tab which disappears when you are out of brads/nails. You have to look at it, but since it is easily visible as you align the nailing head, it is easily seen, so not a problem to remember to keep your gun loaded. I know it sounds like I am in marketing for DeWalt, but I promise I am not associated with the company in any way. In an age when so much junk exists, being badged with names which used to mean American quality, this is a reminder that you can find quality from a long-standing American icon, even IF it is manufactured in Asia. After using this nailer on the baseboard, I felt confident enough to go back and pull the trim materials from most of the door-frames in order to straighten and renail. Angle nailing into 1/2" pre-hung door frames was easy, and generally I was able to sink nails exactly where I needed them. My daughter's home now looks as good as any custom home - at least from the woodwork, which is a major part of a home's appearance. Have no trepidation if you have a moulding project to do.

Another good Dewalt tool
Style: Brad Nailer Kit
Owning all cordless tools made by Dewalt it was only natural that I would gravitate to this Brad nailer tool by Dewalt. It is not cordless but requires a compressor, it was the Dewalt name that led me here. The nailer has a nice feel to it, it fits my hand well. It drives 18 guage brads from 5/8" to 2" which makes it ideal for a number of projects including the cabinets I was building. It has a built in adjustable hook to hang the tool from your belt. A Tool free drive adjustment as well as a tool free jamb release are two good features ... show more

Better than other nailers I've used

Works smooth. Love this nailer. Would give it a 5 but the plastic tip falls off sometimes.

Nice gun
Style: Brad Nailer Kit
Had a Porter Cable BN200 for many years,shot thousands of nails with it. The oem rebuild kit cost as much as a new gun. I have many Dewalt tools already so I bought this nailer. The instructions say you don't oil it, yet there's oil at the exhaust port. Will have to make sure. Gun works nicely, the adjustment for nail depth is a nice feature too. The gun tip is narrow and easily gets into tight spaces. The BN200 wasn't. Happy with this tool, just like all my Dewalt tools. ... show more

Good product from a trusted brand
Style: Brad Nailer Kit
When my old brad nailer would no longer countersink a 1 inch brad it was time to replace it. I had recently bought a DeWalt finish nailer and it has performed well. Delivery was prompt which was good since I was in the middle of a project. As soon as it arrived, I hooked it up and it performed as expected. It drove the nail below the surface without deforming the surface. The action is smooth without much recoil, making it easier to drive multiple nails in short order. I am satisfied with its performance and its price. I would recommend the product and hope it will give me long service. ... show more
