Only the 2nd fix fires brads and they are 16 gauge. The framer nailer fires nails, usually clipped head paper strip nails. Nice review and look forward to seeing you use them on future projects.
Cheers fella, learnt a few things thanks to you. Been given a DCN 690 and a 692 for repair. Some problems obvious, some not so. Testing after 'repair' needs understanding of operation and on the job requirements. I like to give tools a good workout before I hand them back and buying the wrong nails could easily put me at a loss.
I love the phrase, "You don't know what you don't know". I am going to have to start using that more often. I don't do much framing, I am just a woodworking mortal. I haven't yet bought a brad nailer either. I don't build things in a hurry. I am happy to glue, clamp, and wait for the glue to dry. Thanks Mark!
What you call 'rapid fire mode' on the 660 is normally referred to as bump mode. Hold your finger on the trigger in bump mode and every time the nose is pushed into the wood it will fire a nail.
Good video. Just FYI... when you switched to 'multiples' as you call it, you just hold the trigger in and each time the front compresses against the workpiece another nail is fired... so no need to re-engage the trigger each time. 👍
I am not a carpenter but I am fascinated by how power tools make life so easy for the carpenters. Your explanation of the the first and second fix nailers and the brads angles were quiet refreshing for me.
Hi, I think you'll have sussed it by now.. But just in case you haven't - the toggle on top of the 1st fix nailer is to clear a jam.. Great channel & content by the way, keep up the good work.. You've the right enthusiasm, very contagious 😁
Stumbled across your video looking for info on the DCN692; great content. On the DCN660, leave it on the multi brad setting and you can either use the trigger as a single shot... or press and hold the trigger then thump the whole (loaded) gun into the timber and it'll go bam bam bam using the contact point as the trigger; much more fun and much much faster than pressing the trigger each and every time.
Lovely review, wonderful positive energy, funny and very educational. I didn't know anything about those either...hahaha...well done KAP, subbed and liked mate, keep the good work up. Cheers.
Great vid as usual. I recently bought the DCN660, and its been great, looking at the 692 for some upcoming projects. One point, I believe that the term brad is used for 18 (and 21) gauge only. Keep up the great work.
Some good information there Mark 👍, I didn't know about the different angles either 😂. I'm very happy with my Aldi Ferrex nailer for £85 ish, fires nails up to 50mm and staples up to 40mm & also has a rapid fire setting as soon as the nose touches, but, like you I'm quite happy to work at a slower pace 🦥 🤣.
Not trying to split hairs - perhaps the reason u didn't realise that 1st fix nailers can't use NAILS under 50mm length is because the 1st fix uses NAILS (round cross section for fixing TIMBER i.e. structural e.g. joists,studs,rafters) and the 2nd fix uses BRADS (rectangular cross section to cut through the fibres on smaller non-structural cross sections i.e. WOOD e.g. architraves,spindles (to reduce chances of splitting).Hope this helps :-)
The handle on the top of the 692 is to release if the hammer of the nailer is frozen which normally not happen but it could. By the way I like the presentation skill. Greeting from Holland.
For multiples you hold the trigger and it keeps the gun spooled up. So then you just have to press it against the wood and it shoots the nail... No need to pull the trigger each nail. That's what makes it faster...
It is unnerving that you have bought a framing nailer and not taken the time to read the instructions manual, where the the description for the tool-free jam release is detailed. All of the queries you had could have been found just downloading and reading the pdf manual before taking the plunge and spending money on the tools. DeWalt do a good job with their manuals. Also, the bump fire mode is run with finger on the trigger, no need to depress it otherwise that is then a single shot. Great video, and much enjoyed watching it.
@@KAPWoodworkandbuilding But you don’t know what size nail or brads to use, or the difference between brads or nails, or the features they have but do a review?
Amazing that you did zero research into a professional level tool before you purchased it. Interesting video nonetheless. The one and two switch you're referring to is for single shot or bump shot, not power settings. Notch one = single shot, notch two = rapid fire. If you want to set the depth of nail placement, i.e power, the settings are on the side. The lever on top of the 692 is for clearing a jammed nail, you also have a tool free nail clearance feature on the 660 at the nose of the gun. Please look at the online manual or watch other reviews, professional tradesman post videos fully explaining all the features and how to use it correctly. Please be careful with your finger on the trigger when you have the gun loaded with nails and battery installed, one accidental bump could send a nail into a leg, arm or stomach.

The black handle on top of nailer is for unjamming the gun if a nail gets stuck
Most nailer have them these days
Great videos, thanks

You don't know what you need to know in order to know...

Thanks Jack yes I have 😃
Thanks for the info. I've never used a nailer so didn't know what the Brad angle.
Im off the find a 692. Cheers.
Thankyou, just bought one, much rather watch your video than read the manual😊 well explained,,cheers
Great review.
I am looking at getting the 692 and this helped me a lot as I have only used a small Brad nailer until now.
Good reviews, thanks. Switch on the top is the stall release lever. Used to free it up if it jams.

You cleared a few things up for me there Mark, thank you. I have the Dewalt 660 and I love it, regards, Fred
@fred16721 can I use the DCN 660 to put up pine tongue and groove?
Lovely review, wonderful positive energy, funny and very educational. I didn't know anything about those either...hahaha...well done KAP, subbed and liked mate, keep the good work up. Cheers.
Great review and good to see the actual nails being loaded. Enjoying all your content - keep it coming, thanks.
Thank you
Great video my friend told me the best one to buy for the job I do 2nd one for me
I have Makita works great
Still sometimes a hammer and nail is the best way.
Love the vid!!!!❤
Thank you very much for the review. This was more than enough for me for more understanding about dewalt nailers. Thanks a lot
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks Steve appreciate your comment. I do obviously know that now but at time of purchase was a little unsure. We are all always learning. 😃

I got bkth kf these and the 692 mk3 is not replaceable 50m.- 90mm the 660 is ok for light fix brad or brad and glue 32ishmm -63mm
Great review. I was thi9of getting these but hadn't seen many good reviews on them but this has convinced me to get them 🍻👍🏻

Thank you. Never been to Holland. Good luck in World Cup. 👍
That lever on the top is for a misfire reset.
Just got these guns and don't disappoint. Thanks again for your review
Whenever I use them on a job they never fail. Was using the framing nailer today.
😃
@@KAPWoodworkandbuilding hopefully a video to go along with it 👍🏻

@@KAPWoodworkandbuilding No problem, good luck with your new tool, it'll save you a lot of time once you've mastered the bump fire.👍
what does second fix mean?
Essentially finishing. After plastering. Skirting , doors etc. Hence it doesn’t mark the timber or shouldn’t.
Not all the nails are brads, especially framer
👍
Brads are 18ga, finish nails, 16ga the rest are just called nails
These are not brad nailers
I'm 57 and still a animal
👍
Lol

You are only old when you think you are
