Love this nailer |
Faced with a major overhaul of a 120 year old house, I wasn't looking forward to doing all the trim with a hammer and nailset, so I purchased a finish nailer. I wanted the ease of use of a cordless, which pretty much narrowed it down to DeWalt or Paslode. Not having to deal with both batteries and gas tilted me in favor of the DeWalt. It uses the same nails as the Paslode (in fact, that's all I use since none of my local stores carry the DeWalt nails).
Other reviewers has mentioned the DeWalt is heavy. Well, it sure isn't light, although I find it comfortable to hold and easy to use, even standing on a step ladder putting up crown molding over my head. My 26 year old daughter has no problems using it in any position either (it's her house). With all the wainscoting, beadboard, crown, baseboard, chair rail and every other imaginable kind of trim in this old victorian, the nailer functioned flawlessly. We shot many, many boxes of nails and wore out two rubber noseguards without a single jam.
The only issue is shooting thin nails into hard word. While most of the wood is pine, it's old first growth southern yellow pine that's almost as hard a oak. If you don't pay attention to the direction of the chisel point of the nails relative to the grain, the nail will follow the grain. Sometimes it'll even make a u-turn, so you need to think about where you put your hands when using this tool!! Same for knots or other defects in the wood. This is all covered in the manual, although I don't recall it making a point of thinking about the positioning of the chisel point. Sometimes you need to turn the nailer so the long edge of the chisel point is across the grain so it cut through it instead of following it.
The angled magazine makes it surprisiningly easy to get into small locations. Actually better than my straight magazine brad nailer, which is much smaller overall.
Pay attention to which model you're looking at when comparing prices - the 618K has one battery while the 618KA comes with two, and batteries are expensive. I have the KA, and when we were doing trim we never had a problem running out of battery - in fact, many days we didn't have to switch at all. I never counted how many nails you could do on a charge - we never ran it down. On days when we used it heavily, we'd just swap batteries every few hours when we took a break.
The bottom line? I love it. The only negative is the weight, but that never really bothered us when we were actually using it. If I had one complaint, it's that there's no good position to put it down, other than standing on the battery. In that position, it's top heavy, so you sure don't want to put it on the top of your step ladder while you're fiddling some piece of crown molding into position. And while the weight didn't bother us using it, it's a lot when it's hanging on your belt by the hook!
I like it so much a bought a DeWalt brad nailer when they came out. Unfortunately, I'm not nearly as happy with the brad nailer, but that will be a different review. |

I just bought my second DeWalt DC618 nailer. I do a fair amount of remodeling with my two sons. This nailer has been great. It's nice not having to lug around a compressor and being able to nail without cords or hoses. This nailer has plenty of power, even with hard woods like oak. The reason I needed a second nailer is because my son will not give back the nailer he "borrowed" for a very large house rebuild that he is doing. I think a third nailer is probably in our future.
It has become an indispensable tool. |

Now I'm a Believer |
I've had my Dewalt cordless nailer for about eight months. I'm a "former" carpenter, and still do projects at home and for others.
I have some pretty neat tools, but I must say, this nailer is my favorite. I have trimmed out four houses, done a score of other smaller jobs, and the gun ALWAYS works! I'm not sure how many boxes of nails I've gone through......and the gun has jammed FOUR TIMES! That's it! When it did jam, the nail (last one in the run) was easily removed. The batteries just last forever. If you keep one on the charger while using the other, you'd be hard-pressed to run out of battery life. OK, as you can tell, I love this nailer. Don't worry about the weight; it's well balanced. This gun helps me do better work, easier work, faster work. That's enough for me. |

Excellent Nail Gun |

I first tried the Black and Decker BDBN1202 (it was cheaper), the first one I received was DOA, the second one nailed inconsistently. I returned it and bought the DEWALT DC618K. All I can say this nailer blows away the Black and Decker, it may cost a little more but it is worth it. Save yourself the trouble buy the DEWALT first. |
