Review on πŸ”¨ DEWALT DCN21PLM1 Battery-Powered Plastic Collated Nailer by Andrew Kay

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Powerful but heavy for nailers

Love not having to pull the compressor when I need some nails and this thing runs really well even for a long 3" 16s. Not as good as an air gun , but pretty good. However, it's quite heavy. For example, I wish they could drop the weight by a pound or two. I have a 16 ga Dewalt shotgun and it feels right. It also takes a second or two to set up the engine is ramped up to ram speed, so if you're safe and using mode #1, which means you have to nose in to start the engine, then sit and hold that heavy thing until you're not ready I've switched to impact mode #2, which allows you to hold the trigger down before piercing through the nailer, making it easier but a little less safe.Despite the weight, I'd d Will reconsider purchasing if needed for convenience. I have a couple framing guns and compressors, but this thing is gra b-and-go.

Pros
  • Nailers and staplers
Cons
  • Damaged
