No, I'm not a pro finish guy - Former pro-color guy. I've built about half of my house for so long, so I will probably just be a DIY guy. However, my experience of painting on high-end, high-production projects tract homes made me an expert in making the finished product looks good no matter what (even if the popular phrase around the workplace was "the painters will fix it.")
Just picked up NAILER August 31 from H.D. ..
First impression: This is fucking heavy! I compared it with my FramePro SENCO 702XP nailer (with a stick, 3 1 / 2 nails in it) and they weigh less (about 8 pounds). My neighbor has a cordless nail gun SENCO AIRFREE, it feels like a toy compared to the DeWalt.
Advantages:
* Wireless! Do not pull out the air compressor.
* Cool headlights. Good to do the trim in darker areas.
* Shot 16 gauge Angled stick nail (Paslode nail was all I could find to watch HD) Used to crown, clothes, bass, and quarter-round shoe molding - made small, narrow hole, no problem.
* Precise electronic depth adjustment. 1-6 Series, 6 setting will only countersink in 3 / 4 oak
* Bump-firing! Unlike SENCO Airfree, you can set the Dewalt to the occasional fire or shock. When it is bump mode, run it on a consistent depth. The engine rolls up when you press the shutter button and then bam, bam, bam
* Good grip. Feels like typical DeWalt grip. Stay in your hand while the sweaty, quality trigger feel.
* Extra battery. Good Dewalt charger, carrying case, good quality (steel buckles instead of plastic)
Cons
* Porky. Not just heavy, but the head of the unit is quite fat, it has a belt clip that you have to use because you can not park it in your bags. It works OK with a monster hook, so no big Whoop. There will also be nailing nice shoe molding, while my head.
* Yellow headlights. I know that yellow is DeWalt's thing, but white would have been better.
* Price. $ 400.00 is a good bit of cash.
Overall good result for the first time version. Absolutely spanks SENCO Airfree - then send to bed without supper.
