I am a homeowner with a day job who does not do anything construction related for a living. That being said I am working on framing out my basement and Bought this ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxHQsUrwNr5GQrnx9V4xDdUr56qxwuiBHt gun. I have done a few walls already, have probably shot a couple hundred nails through this thing and have yet to have a misfire. It works awesome, good depth on every nail if you have your compressor set right. My literal only complaint is that it is a bit heavy and my arm can get a little tired especially whrn I am nailing at odd angles. That being said I am super happy with it and would buy it again. Hoping the old girl allows me to get my whole basement finished out!
I just got this gun and it is amazing. With Battery Technology like it is today I've literally cut the cord on all my tools. And only use battery power and get better performance now. I have two big DeWalt bags full of batteries and they last me about a month before I have to recharge again.
Cordless nailers are high high on my list of needs. I got to use a friends and fell in love. And, I thought DeWalt already had a cordless nailer out? I dont think cordless will ever replace framers and roofers pneumatic. Those boys have them pneumatic nailers down to a art.
You'll probably just see cordless slowly take over in the renovation and repair market. If you're doing production framing for a townhouse complex or something the chances are you have a compressor and power set up nearby and it wont take long to move. If you're a contractor doing a large number of small jobs though, the cordless units will probably win big time in productivity, since you wont have to pack up and move your pneumatic setup to a different job and send time setting it up, and there's no hassle of having all that shit crowding your small work space. In fairness though, it should be said that the cordless units can do everything the pneumatic units can do (just a bit slower in fire rate), but the pneumatic units cant necessarily do everything the cordless units can, in respect to mobility. Battery runtime is not a realistic concern as long as you're not a cheapskate or an idiot; as long as you get another battery and remember to put it on the charger you'll never be able to burn through one before the other charges.
Thank you so much for this video I am looking at buying this for myself as a single country girl I am building my tool belt up and this is on my NEXT NEED list.
Would love to see the Crazy Framer give this nail gun a go on his UA-cam channel. 21 degree plastic over 30 degree paper is the way to help eliminate jams.
Solid review!!! I couldn't really find one that was really in depth like yours! Thanks for an awesome video. I'll have to pick one up soon. Do construction for a living and been wanting to try it out! Thankyou!
The first power that came up with this design was Hetachi, I almost bought the hetachi but then I didn’t want to buy another set of different brand of battery, So I’m glad Dewalt came up with this
The DCN21PL 20V is good for occasional framing but would never make any progress in production framing. I use the 20V platform in a number of different DeWalt tools but I'll stick to my Bostitch pnuematic nail guns. Everything I need (guns, nails, hoses, compressor, and, yes, a little bottle of oil all fit nicely in my work van. There is no time delay (warmup) with air-driven guns. I like that!
I bought one without knowing it does that and I’m pretty mad about it. Even ryobi has one that nails without a warm up which is embarrassing for Dewalt.
Ok i bought 1 in swapmeet for 180, supposedly like new but when i used it , didnt hit nail in deep, i dont think i gotta wait for a second to push trigger plus the 1, would not turn on, im kinda new to cordless framin nails, btw i did returned it
I just purchased this gun and used it on a small project. I am not a fan of how the magazine loads. I started having issues with the nails not loading tight enough or even falling out while using it. In my opinion, the feed latch needs to be redesigned.
That would be great for roof framing. No hoses to drag around. I'm heavily invested in the Milwaukee M18 platform and have been waiting for years for them to come out with a framing nailer. Still nothing.
I invested in the Hitachi cordless nailers. Lifetime tool warranty. Beats DeWalt and no rampup time. I use DeWalt and Milwaukee mostly but the Hitachi guns are life changing
@@oscarmoreno1316 yes I have the older version of the DeWalt 30 degree nailer. I used it alot until I got the Hitachi 21 degree. If you get the DeWalt and ever have a lot of jamming issues, try using the flexvolt batteries. It worked for me. But I still think the Hitachi is better
If only one stick why didn’t we go shorter yet on the magazine? The reasoning it’s not shorter is because whether we went with the 1 stick or 2 stick design, the dry fire lockout still needs to be in place regardless (which adds about an additional 5 nails of capacity to both magazines). Additionally, we looked at all types of nails….ours, Grip Rite, Paslode, other generics and found that not all stick lengths are compatible (same length), so we took the length of 1 stick of the longest strip of nails we could find plus the dry fire lockout distance.
So I just bought one used (very little) it is in great condition. I didn’t get a manual with it so videos like this really help. I do have a question; the battery is rated (4ah). When looking at batteries at Home Depot and Amazon, they show 20v batteries in many “ah” ratings from 2ah to 6ah. I sort of understand the difference but if I use one with a different ah rating, what will happen? Are there any good/bad to using different rated batteries?
4ah is a good all around size. You will get longer runtime with a higher ah battery. I would think the nails would still drive in the same, so matter what size battery you're running.
It is nice. How long will the battery last before a recharge is necessary? Years ago, the owner of the property had to provide electrical current before trademen arrived on the job site to power the equipment. It is a shame that the times have changed making the trademen provide power for their equipment on a job site.
I've seen it advertised somewhere that this will shoot 845 nails per charge. I've only had the nailer for a short time and it's still on 3 bars of power after firing off 5-6 strips of nails.
Necesito ayuda, compre una Dewalt framing grado 21, pero no prende el motor (sin clavos) cuando presiono la boquilla a la superficie, eso es normal? Hay que ponerle los clavos? Gracias
Can we all agree it’s better than a hammer for driving 1000 nails. The delay helps me stay a little focused, you in that big of a hurry maybe you shouldn’t take on the job.
Lets see how it does in some Yellow pine instead of the soft white pine your using in this demo. Or shooting into LVLs. Why didn't they make it able to shoot 3 1/2 inch framing nails which is code length in North Carolina.
I've used both nailers quite a bit and like them both. Most of the framing I've done in my construction career is with the Senco SN70, which is a 30 degree. I like the way it fits in tighter spots, due to the angle.
Other than what seems to be a lot of kick-back, this looks like it would be a great nailer for me. Is that what was going on, or, were you manually lifting the gun after each shot?
@@MarkThomasBuilder that’s what I didn’t like about it. It also seemed like lots of people had problems with it so I sprung for the Milwaukee. It also gave me an excuse to get an m18 shop vac to go with it😂
I haven't had a chance to see how many. nails it fires off on a single charge. I'm pretty sure I'm using a 4Ah battery though. It lasts a long time for my here and there projects.
Seems decent. A little slow. I prefer hand nailing which I know would be slower but it keeps the wrist strength up. That way I know I won’t have an issue picking up my tackle box later in life.
It was one of the first battery powered ones to hit the market. It's pretty amazing compared to a pnenumatic one that requires a compressor, hose, oil, etc.
markthomasbuilder I’ll agree with ya mark. Gonna give in a another few months to see if these things fall apart. I’ll say it would be nice to not deal with parts breaking from forgetting to oil. But you know how it goes by the time I figure it out they be on the 24v system.
markthomasbuilder crap.. I was just there and I bought Dewalt 21 inch collated but it says smooth shank. I’ve read a few conflicting things online but do you think these will work ? It’s the 3 1/4 size ones
I think the DCN692 is superior because: 1) Holds 55 nails max vs this gun's 49 nails. 2) It weighs 8lbs vs this gun's 8.5lb weight. 3) It will drive 3 1/2" nails vs this gun's 3 1/4". Can anyone tell me why/how the DCN21 is superior to the DCN692???
Those are good questions. I don't have the DCN692, so I'll have to look into it and see what the differences are. The DCN692 uses different nails, 30-34 degree. This one in the video uses 21 degree nails. DeWalt also mentions it has increased power and drive quality.
@@MarkThomasBuilder , I went to Home Depot to conduct some research on nail availability & discovered that the only 30° - 34° nails sold are Passlode brand, as opposed to the assortment of 21° available. So, in short, the only two shortcomings of the DCN692 are its 21° nail availability and also code restriction of using "D Head" nails (depending on local municipal code regulations).
This model uses a full round head nail that is required by some building codes. The othe model uses a clipped head nail or offset round head nail to gain the extra capacity. That's the main difference. I really like Dewalt tools but my research has led me to believe both of these guns don't hold up in the long run. If you need a full round head cordless nailer, Hitachi has a beast of a gun. If you can use the clipped head/offset round head nails, the Paslode Impulse will serve you well. Just be sure to purchase the latest model. They have come a long way since the early black and orange models.
@@briancrisler6660, thanks for the reply. I'm a general contractor, so the frequency of need for a framing gun is marginal for either some pick-up framing or the odd side job, in which case I don't need it to stand up to the day-in-day-out rigors that a "full-time framer" would need. I already own all Dewalt Cordless 20V MAX & FlexVolt, so a DeWalt cordless framer makes sense. I likely will sell my DCN692 & get the DCN21 because it meets code in all municipalities and the nails are a lot easier to find...
This nailer worked well at the time of testing it with no fuel cartridges to power it. The only issue I have now is that it has to ramp up for firing a nail first. Once it ramps up, it fires 2-3 nailer quickly. The technology improved this year with Milwaukee not having to ramp up. I'm guessing DeWalt will introduce a new version soon.
It's a trade off. I've gone to job sites needing a generator, compress, and hose. It's amazing that you can eliminate all of them with this. Pretty soon, you'll see the tool companies will getting closer to what you're looking for.
@@MarkThomasBuilder maybe i was being harsh, I love Milwaukee brand. Had tried the Dewalt and found ramp up time a hindrance...The Hitachi and Milwaukee nailers use air/nitrogen pre charge which is less moving parts and lower maintenance.
Mine has worked fine for me. I did notice the last time I used it that it took a couple practice nails to get it going properly. It has a 4 star review on Home Depot's website, so it looks like it's working well for most.
Had a ton of problems with this gun. I wanted it to work so badly but kept jamming every time I tried to shoot it once it jammed the first time. Brought it back to the distributor company I got it from where they service the tools and the tool guy said it’s a reoccurring issue with those guns. They are in the shop more than in the field. I love the concept of this gun but sadly it’s a liability on the worksite. Sorry guys.
Mine has held up well, but I haven't brought it to a jobsite for repetitive use. It takes a little getting used to compared to the pnenumatic framers. Thanks for sharing.
@@Neutralmentality exactly. People forget good ol hammer nails was only way back in the day. Now you got these guys complaining about the convenience of a battery operated gun.
4:30 time is money, instead of using that stupid wrench (to pull out jammed nails) i just grinded the tip to make it look like a horseshoe instead of "ring" like it is.

Their old one is 30-34degree nails for some reason. This takes the more common 21deg

Not being able to put two rows in, kind of sucks. Other than that, it’s a really good gun.

Can we all agree it’s better than a hammer for driving 1000 nails. The delay helps me stay a little focused, you in that big of a hurry maybe you shouldn’t take on the job.
Yes, 💯
+1 for ergonomics

Is there any way to change the track and make it shoot paslode nails? All my pneumatic guns are paslode. I’d hate to have to get 2 types of nails.
Not that I know of.
I'm a regular home owner, DIY guy....what's the difference between the 21 degree and 31 degree nailer.....not sure which one I should get
I've used both nailers quite a bit and like them both. Most of the framing I've done in my construction career is with the Senco SN70, which is a 30 degree. I like the way it fits in tighter spots, due to the angle.
I have alot of dewalt tools. But that ramp up their nailers have is killing me! I hate that! Come on Dewalt ! Please do something to change that!!
It took me a few tries to get the hang of it. It's different than using my Senco air framing nailer.
Other than what seems to be a lot of kick-back, this looks like it would be a great nailer for me. Is that what was going on, or, were you manually lifting the gun after each shot?
No, there's kickback to it. I just used it the other day and was reminded how it does that.
could I use this to nail in plywood subfloor to the joist?
Absolutely!
Mark-many people suggested I even give screws a better look to do this rather than nails so the floor doesn't squeak. Any input?
In my opinion, I think you'll be fine if you glue it down and use the nail gun.
Actually you use rib shanked nails with liquid nail and your floor will never squeek. Code
I really need to get one sooner then later
It's very handy to have!, just grab and go! No compressor, hoses, or oil.
This is pretty cool. But not going to lie I think the new Milwaukee one kicks it’s ass.
They're both pretty cool in my opinion. The Dewalt one needs to ramp up before firing a nail.
@@MarkThomasBuilder that’s what I didn’t like about it. It also seemed like lots of people had problems with it so I sprung for the Milwaukee. It also gave me an excuse to get an m18 shop vac to go with it😂
Nice choice! I'm haven't reviewed the M12 pin nailer yet. That's another nice product in their nailer line.
Was the no-mar tip ever found? I would need that.
No, I wish there was some on board storage for it.
will it shoot 16d for framing?
Great review 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
To put signs on the posts would that tool work?
Yes, 100%
Nice, thank you
Cool, you're welcome!
Does it work with only one nail measure? i mean, you can only use nails that big?
You can use different length nails and choose between galvanized or non-galv.
@@MarkThomasBuilder great! Thank you kind sir
Have you had any issues with it not setting nails like previous models
So far, it's doing a great job. I have a big project coming up with it and I'll report back if things are different.
@@MarkThomasBuilder any update? did you switch back to air?
Does it require gas or does it use pure battery power ? So many questions unanswered here,
Just battery power.
@@MarkThomasBuilder Amazing tool indeed then.
How long does the battery last for a regular 6 amp hour battery?
I haven't had a chance to see how many. nails it fires off on a single charge. I'm pretty sure I'm using a 4Ah battery though. It lasts a long time for my here and there projects.
Can the Dewalt be used ln a picket fence as well??
Sure, if the nail size is between 2" and 3-1/4"
Wow, cool way to shoot a nail into your foot, pretty sure I'd not put my foot that close to this power house nailer.....jmho
Seems decent. A little slow. I prefer hand nailing which I know would be slower but it keeps the wrist strength up. That way I know I won’t have an issue picking up my tackle box later in life.
It was one of the first battery powered ones to hit the market. It's pretty amazing compared to a pnenumatic one that requires a compressor, hose, oil, etc.

Can you use shorter nails?
It shoots as small as 2" nails and up to 3-1/4.
Whats the use of a no mar tip on a framing nailer?
I don't think it's needed really. I guess if your just shooting a few nails in a finished board, then the no mar tip is helpful.
For deck 5/4 boards or hand railing, fencing.
Does it have 5G internet bluetooth 6-channel Dolby stereo?
That would be a cool feature to have in this.
Can this gun nail 2x4 into concrete?
No, it can't unfortunately.
Thank you
Next time bend a nail or something to force jamming.
Still working great after two years of use?
Yes, it's working well. 👍
The bigger batteries give it more power and last longer but weigh it down more!
Good point. It's always a tradeoff.
TLDR, 7:01 is where the nailing starts.
Thanks, I'll fast forward
Thank good... this dude talks way too much.
Nice safety shoes...
Thx nice
It's an awesome tool!
I herd there's a new one coming out this April 2020 and another one that is a coil type, I would appreciate if you can find out more about these 🙏🙏🙏
I hope to attend an event next month where DeWalt will be at. I'll post whatever I find out.
Can you post the type of nails you are using
Grip-Rite 21degree 3" Galvanized Ring Shank Nails. I bought them from The Home Depot.
markthomasbuilder crap.. I was just there and I bought Dewalt 21 inch collated but it says smooth shank. I’ve read a few conflicting things online but do you think these will work ? It’s the 3 1/4 size ones
I think they'll work fine.

It's great to not need a compressor or hose on this framing nailer.
Question of the day: Are you ready to switch from pnenumatic to battery powered? Is 845 nails per charge enough for the work you would do?
I install fencing, so i'd like a coiled gun for the nail capacity. I've been looking at the dewalt siding pneumatic nailer, any experience with it?
I've only used an older Senco 3/8" stapler for siding. It worked pretty well with the siding adapter.
Not for this gun. Maybe the Hitachi but this flywheel technology is still crap. For a remodeler this gun is fine but not a production framer.
Answer of the day! Buy another 4ah or 6ah battery.

I likely will sell my DCN692 & get the DCN21 because it meets code in all municipalities and the nails are a lot easier to find...
The 30 degree nailer jams every 10 minutes if you don't use the flexvolt batteries

You added it all but not the nails you use
Grip-Rite 21degree 3" Galvanized Ring Shank Nails. I bought them from The Home Depot.
if that was an actual 8' wall it would sink it easy
Absolutely!
These reviews never expose what’s wrong with the product.
This nailer worked well at the time of testing it with no fuel cartridges to power it. The only issue I have now is that it has to ramp up for firing a nail first. Once it ramps up, it fires 2-3 nailer quickly. The technology improved this year with Milwaukee not having to ramp up. I'm guessing DeWalt will introduce a new version soon.
In cold conditions this framing nailer is useless.. we got rid of ours about 4 months of using it
Our paslode does way better
I don't recall running mine that much outside last winter. I should compare this one to the Milwaukee framing nailer this December.
I'm not impressed with the spin up. I want pull trigger plap plap plap.
It's a trade off. I've gone to job sites needing a generator, compress, and hose. It's amazing that you can eliminate all of them with this. Pretty soon, you'll see the tool companies will getting closer to what you're looking for.
@@MarkThomasBuilder I guess it isn't bad on bump mode. I wouldn't use the single mode.
No funciona bien deja la clavos salidos.
P O S....Metabo rules....
I need to try them out still.
@@MarkThomasBuilder maybe i was being harsh, I love Milwaukee brand. Had tried the Dewalt and found ramp up time a hindrance...The Hitachi and Milwaukee nailers use air/nitrogen pre charge which is less moving parts and lower maintenance.

Crgbnim yo,both
VOh
Its a crap gun........really bad ...dewalt won't admit they messed up. Don't waste your money its useless . I threw mine away..
Mine has worked fine for me. I did notice the last time I used it that it took a couple practice nails to get it going properly. It has a 4 star review on Home Depot's website, so it looks like it's working well for most.
You sound like a butthurt Milwaukee fanboy
Had a ton of problems with this gun. I wanted it to work so badly but kept jamming every time I tried to shoot it once it jammed the first time. Brought it back to the distributor company I got it from where they service the tools and the tool guy said it’s a reoccurring issue with those guns. They are in the shop more than in the field. I love the concept of this gun but sadly it’s a liability on the worksite. Sorry guys.
Mine has held up well, but I haven't brought it to a jobsite for repetitive use. It takes a little getting used to compared to the pnenumatic framers. Thanks for sharing.
Way too long to fire
It may not be for everybody, but sure is handy to not need a compressor and hose.
you shut your mouth when your talking to me... nice review tho ha
Lol, it's a great nail gun!
This thing worthless if anyone had to nail a wall out with that thing it would take them 10 years
Imagine having to sink the nails in with the hammer only hahaha
@@Neutralmentality exactly. People forget good ol hammer nails was only way back in the day. Now you got these guys complaining about the convenience of a battery operated gun.
Get to the freaking point
Haha, yeah I was rambling back then and thanks for your feedback. I think my more recent video are better... hopefully.🤣
Pc shit To slow
4:30 time is money, instead of using that stupid wrench (to pull out jammed nails) i just grinded the tip to make it look like a horseshoe instead of "ring" like it is.
Interesting, I'll have to look at that idea.
Looks pretty lame next to Milwaukee new framer. 😂
I'd like to do a side by side comparison. I did see quite a bit of excitement over the new nailer.
