 Excellent Framing NailerMar 06, 2003
By Bryan
I purchased this unit about six months ago while remodeling a ranch house. I was also using a Hitachi 83 framing nailer side by side. The Hitachi feels a little more bulky but as far as I can tell they both have the same power. The first day I used it I had to frame in maybe 70-80 studs (and other things) and they were all toe nailed. This unit worked every bit as good as the Hitachi in my opinion, no problem with power at all. I have since used it for about everything you can use a framing nailer for and it has worked perfect. The depth setting takes about a second to adjust. The rafter hook is really cool too. I was stick framing a roof and the tool fell to the ground a few times until I realized that thing on the handle was for hanging the tools from rafters. Maybe I should have read the manual. The way the tool loads nails is really neat, you just pull the lever back and it locks in place so you don't have to hold it. Then drop in a couple of strips of nails and pull the laver again and you are ready to roll. I have used this in gluelam's as well without any problems in sinking the nails. To top off everything else, it's cheaper than the Hitachi!

questionable quality controlSep 13, 2002
I purchased this nailer because it had some features that my Porter Cable did not. Tools free depth adjustment and the rafter hook. Right out of the box the tool leaked air from the back end. I tested it anyway and it felt pretty good except that the trigger is too far away from the handle and it was unable to really sink toe nails, even with the pressure turned up to 125 psi and the nose fully retracted. The nosepiece was better than the PC for toenailing but did not offer a mar free tip. I decided to send this one back. If it leaks right out of the box, I doubt that the rest of it is assembled properly. The Porter Cable also came with a really nice case, and the Dewalt with just the box it was sent in.

Framing Contractor, Grand Rapids MichiganApr 14, 2003
My company consists of over 40 framers. We primarly use Hitachi guns. I purchased a Dewalt framing gun, and it was defective out of the box. My local rep. replaced the gun at no charge. The gun looks nice, however, it is my opinion that the gun is not well balanced, and although it is said to be a light weight tool, I have found it to be heavy, and poorly balance. I will not purchase another DeWalt gun. We currently have over 25 Hitachi guns running daily, and it seams to be a much better gun. The Hitachi is much better balanced than the DeWalt, and feels much lighter.

 Piece Of JunkNov 04, 2003
I purchased this nailer and used it in the majority of the nailing in two residential projects over nine months. Right out of the box the nailer was double firing (two nails in one shot). Although I kept it oiled daily, double firing and misfiring because the norm for this nailer using 3" nails. I also had major problems with jamming... not just minor jams, but jams where two nails would get stuck in the chamber which was very time consuming to remove. With 3-1/2" nails, the problems grew much worse. I bought several different brands of nails over then next couple of months, but had the identical problems with them all. It became a very frustrating tool and was not very dependable. I tried bring it in to a Dewalt dealer for a repair, but I was told that nothing was wrong with it. Finally, after nine months of fighting with this thing, it slid off a rail and the air inlet broke off when it hit the ground.This is my first Dewalt tool and certainly my last.

 JunkJul 31, 2003
By Bear

We currently run a fleet of six of these guns and we cant keep more than three working at one time. Its either a stuck piston or a bent magazine. These guns just dont shoot very well either. At 120 psi they wont even counter sink 8d's into OSB sheathing, they leave about half the nails protruding a 1/4". They are light wieght but they are poorly balanced. The nose piece is terrible, we have to jam the saftey's to make them shoot decently which is not a good thing to do! Overall these guns just arent up to the demands of jobsite.
