DEWALT DCN680B 20V MAX* XR® 18 GA Cordless Brad Nailer (Tool Only)

An Absolutely Great Tool! Right out of the box it works Flawlessly. I loaded it and used it to finish off 6 projects immediately. No Jamming at all unlike my old Craftsman 18 gauge brad nail gun. The old gun would jam on about the fifth firing. This Dewalt shot approximately 100 nails without a problem. Plus it is so nice to not have a cord to contend with! I will say that it is a bit heavy, but I can live with that!

Dewalt quality. Rey easy to handle and use. No mis- fires on first project.

I’ve used air nailers and staplers for years for various projects but never a cordless one. I bought a no-name nailer first due to the price and quickly learned that it was useless as it wasn’t adjustable and didn’t recess the nails. I was very skeptical about this one but I’ve never had a bad DeWalt product. The first nail wouldn’t fire. I remembered the tooless dejammer and opened it. Sure enough there was a small bradnail stuck in the chamber. I don’t know where it came from because I don’t own anything like it. I cleared it and got on with my job and it functioned perfectly. I recommend checking the breach before loading and using high quality nails. I found out after buying at HD that I could have bought genuine DeWalt bradnails for less than the ElCheapos at HD. Oh. Also remove the battery and release the tension on the magazine before opening the dejammer or the nails will shoot out the top. I still plan to use my air guns in the garage but for working in a house or business, this is the right tool for the job.

Best tool I’ve bought and totally worth the cost. Makes quick nailing easy and fun. You won’t regret it.

Works great but for some reason it will not shoot the last 10 nails on a strip, and if you put a new strip behind those 10, you need to be VERY careful or they will double stack on each other and jamb. Very pleased despite this small design flaw.

I have used it for almost a year now, and it has paid for itself. I am not a pro barely a DIY-er, so not the target audience. I bought it since the brand and the fact that it was one of the few CORDLESS options I could find on Amazon or ANYWHERE. Pros: -The battery seems to last forever. I haven't used it a whole lot, but I haven't charged it since my use and have put about 3 sheets of nails through it without any signs of slowing down. -Powerful, now I don't have a metric to compare this to a gas or mains powered brad nailer, but this definitely seems powerful. -Easy to load up, really hard to screw this up, instead of with like a manual nail gun, the whole side slides open and you can lay the nails down. Sometimes with those brad nail staple gun combos, especially in the brad mode, it's hard to put the nails in. Cons: -Heavy and bulky, This was where I noticed the ugliness coming into play. I ran into a lot of instances where I couldn't disengage the safety mechanism to allow the nail to fire. I was trying to re-attach the crown on a cabinet unit that came with my house but I had to get into the groove and the nailer wouldn't fit. Also due to the large forehead on it, makes it not great if you need to nail in a corner, like for crown molding and base boards. -I can't find an "offset" mode. Like maybe this is just me being weird and having weir requests, but what if I wanted the nail to stick out of the wood by like and 1/8th of an inch or a 1/4, to then bend over? I didn't see an option for that. -Missed Nails: this thing is sometimes oddly inconsistent, and was made very clear in the attic. I was covering up the "air vents" on the sides of my house in my attic and needing to make a bunch of quick nailings. And it was getting pretty bad like 5-7 of every 10 nailing attempts failed. Opened the side to see if I was out of nails, but there was still half a sleeve in it. SO... that wasn't the issue. -ANNOYING "trigger reset". Now I'm not a gun-nut or aficionado or anything and is only a term I learned after taking a safety course as a first time owner. And ever since then, became quite aware about how many gadgets rely on this safety feature. This being one of them. I think this explains the "missed nails" issue as well. Seems like you have to completely remove the finger from the trigger and then re-press it. Seems like ANY amount of pressure felt on the trigger even if you think it's not even be depressed, prevents it from firing but makes all the sounds like it fired off a nail. Conclusion: Am I glad I bought it? Yes. Do I love it, NO. The build is there, and maybe these quirks are par for the course with this item and could be a first-time-owner ignorance. You know like how some items are just naturally and always quirky no matter who makes them or what price you pay for, this might be just one of those. I think DeWalt lived up to their claims, delivered on what they promised, and it is OBJECTIVELY a good product. Even though, PERSONALLY this is more of a 3/5 product. I gave it 4/5 since I don't think the fault can be placed on DeWalt and is 100% me and my quirks and ignorance on what is "Normal" for his tool.

This is the coolest, most satisfying power tool I own. It makes assembling small projects a breeze, just glue, clamp, nail, done. I appreciate its size and heft and I can tell it's going to last a long time. Simply put, using this nailer is a dream, and maybe a little fun. Sure, it's kinda pricey, but honestly I think it's already paid for itself in the few short weeks I've owned.

Go get the compressor and the longer hose! Go back to the truck I need an extension cord too! Not anymore, this tool eliminates all of that hassle! Quieter too! A must have tool and it'll pay for itself in stress relief alone! I absolutely love this tool and thus far it has worked perfectly! I cannot imagine going back to a compressor and hose! Caveman times!

Excelente calidad y funcionando muy recomendable

Atendeu minhas expectativas. Muito bom

Earlier this year, I purchased two knock-off brad nailers, but I returned both of them to Amazon because I wasn't satisfied with their safety features. I decided to spend a bit more on the DeWalt, and I'm glad I did. The higher price is justified by its solid build quality, reliable performance, and safety features, which give me confidence every time I use it.
