Editorial Review:
Heavy Duty, 16 Gauge Straight Finish Nailer Kit, Holds Up To 160 Nails From 1-1/4" To 2-1/2" Long, Exclusive Rear Loading Magazine System For Lock & Load Or Load & Lock Faster Loading & Unloading, Nail Depth Can Be Adjusted Quickly With Vertical Slide With Indexes, Air Exhaust Can Be Channeled 360°ree. For Jam Clearing Use Tool Free Front Latch, Low Profile No Mar Pad Grips Material When Toe Nailing, Includes DeWalt Safety Glasses, 2 Wrenches & Pneumatic Oil, Carrying Case.
Two things set this tool apart from its classmates: the large nail capacity and the rear-loading magazine that lets you lock and load, or load and lock. The tool is light, comfortable, and sturdy, features DeWalt's ingenious tool-free jam-clearing mechanism, and offers a fantastic line of sight. The sliding depth adjustment is further evidence of DeWalt's creative problem-solving abilities. Unlock it with your index finger, slide the adjustment with your other hand, and you're ready to fire. This model has a nice plus in the 360-degree swivel exhaust cap. Great pad, too--it didn't mar anything to which we introduced it. Finally, and this may not seem like a big deal, but in everyday use you're going to love the reversible belt/rafter hook. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste

I bought this to supplement my 15 gauge nailer. I would shoot doubles repeatedly from the start. I tried a different brand of 16 gauge nails, and different lengths too, didn't matter. I took it back and they sent it in for repair. A few weeks later the dealer called and said my gun was back. We took it in the back and fired it four times. Three of them were doubles. Long story short I was finally able to make it work by removing the nose piece and filing it down so as to reduce the size of the nose opening.... more info
Great Trim Nailer!:
I own my own contracting company and use this gun in the field. I must say, it is a great gun. I previously have used Porter Cable and that was a great product also. Several great things about the DeWalt. 1. It has a tool belt clip so you place it at easy acess when putting up trim. 2. It also has a multi positon exhuast head, so no more dust in the face.3. Its lightweight and also has a bump trigger. Great for driving multiple nails quickly. 4. Great line of sight for intricate wood work. Only down fall is... more info
Good reliable tool:
I bought this gun to build a cedar fence. I have morticed all ballusters into the rails, and using the gun to pin all the joints. Over 1,000 fires already, and not one problem.
