DEWALT D51276K 1-Inch to 2-1/2-Inch 15-Gauge Angled Finish Nailer

This is one.

I had the opportunity to try several 15 gauge nails, after deciding that my 16G Porter Cable could do the job I wanted.

Do not get me worng. My PC is the best NAILER 16G in my arsenal, but I needed something more.

I tried Hitachi 15G, SENCO and Bostich.

I then tried to Dewalt and I was hooked. I was ready to buy Hitachi, Dewalt, but went down to a 1 "over the Hitachi 1 1 / 4" and balanced Dewalt just felt better in my hand. I also liked the feel of the trigger, plus the fact that I could access the depth adjustment easier on Dewalt Hitachi.

I ran about 16 hours with the tool so far and I am very happy with it. I run it with oil, because there is no better way to protect the seals and rings. I know that Dewalt advertises that you can run the tool without oil, but not. You will just eat away at the life of seals and piston rings.

Without a doubt a winner. Much better in its previous D51275K.

DEWALT DC618K XRP 18-Volt Cordless 1-1/4 Inch - 2-1/2 Inch 16 Gauge 20 Degree Angled Finish Nailer Kit

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.

Bostitch N62FNK-2 15-Gauge 1-Inch to 2-1/2-Inch Angled Finish Nailer

I have been looking for a 15 or 16 gauge finish nailer for about six months. Bostitch This is the only 15-gauge angled NAILER that I have found to be priced in the straight 16 gauge price range.
These are the 15 best gun for any price. Just keep this gun in your hand and you will be convinced that you can not buy better weapons, period.
I had reduced my choices down to Bostitch, Porter-Cable and the new DeWalt.
PC was great, the price was right and I have had great success with my PC 18 gauge Brad Nails, but 15 gauge PC was too heavy. Almost twice the weight Bostitch.
The DeWalt fits my small hands like a glove, had very low weight and within my budget (if I stayed with the straight nail gun against the angled model). But I shyed from DeWalt models because the contact trip assembly had too many twists and turns that do not seem to work as smoothly as the computer and Bostitch. The display model at a local hardware store looked like it was already on its way to having problems. I'm not hard on my tools, but a nasty bump, or fall out of the workbench, and you can be out of business.
Finally Bostitch!
In less than 4 kg. It is the lightest in its class, and still packs the biggest battle of them all! 400 in / lbs. It weighs only about one pound more than the Porter-Cable Brad nailer.
The finish and quality is unsurpassed. It simply ol 'feels good in your hand. It is balanced so well it feels like an extension of your hand.
I'm on a higher budget (per woman), but this weapon is definitely worth every penny of the MSRP $.... So why is it selling for only $...? Either a) there is a "typo", or B), Amazon and / or Bostitch gone Loco. Whatever the reason, my advice is to buy this NAILER before they discover that they are practically giving it away. I'm sure that this weapon will be the standard by which all other finished the nail will be measured against. You will not regret this purchase!
"Ten stars .... final answer!"
