DEWALT ATOMIC Compact Series™ 20V MAX* Brushless Cordless 23 Ga. Pin Nailer (Tool Only) (DCN623B)

Product Information

The “running in” period is deWalt's term for the bedding period (between 500 and 1,000 nails) during which period the tool was indeed a bit tight and sometimes wouldn't flush longer nails completely. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. Complete finish, trim, and remodeling work with this ATOMIC™ Compact Series™ 20V MAX* Brushless Cordless 23 Ga.

DW must have gone back to the drawing board to fix the ills of their first, brave stab at a truly cordless 1st fix nailer to come up with the 2-speed DCN692 in 2015 and overall I have to say that I think they've largely “nailed it”. I understand it might still be more than you want to spend, but it might help to know you're paying for more than just losing the wire, it's an all-round nicer thing to use. Electric nail guns use electricity to drive nails, and they are often lighter and more compact than other types. I do a lot of custom trim work for cabinetry installations and find myself using this thing a lot rather than setting up my compressor.

These trackers help us to provide a personalized user experience by improving the quality of your preference management options, and by enabling the interaction with external networks and platforms. Just like on gas nailers these can weaken and break with age, especially if you've been nailing into hard brickwork for a long time. In the case of a major jam (where the stall release lever can't clear the problem – such as a bent nail caught in the nose) it may be necessary to unship the battery, undo and clear the nose and release the stall before reinserting the battery. and the case is certainly smaller than the cases of either of those tools, a plus if space in the van is limited.

Gas guns are known to corrode battery terminals with a black, non-conductive “deposit” at a rate of knots (and which regular user hasn't had blackened battery terminals at one time or another? You say it makes the "fire action noise", so I'll assume that when you pull the trigger the motor runs and that when you depress the nose (over-riding the safety lock-out) and pull the trihher you can hear the firing solenoid working.Have I added that some manufacturers also seem to source their batteries, chargers and plug top transformers from a factory making novelty cracker fillings somewhere in central China?

We've also got an older Axminster (air) 23ga nailer which has been great, but the last guy I know who bought one said the nail clip flew open everytime he shot a pin! The battery charger performance at circa 90 minutes for a full 5Ah charge is hardly stellar when compared to the charge speed on my Makita 18 volt LXT kit (circa 45 minutes for a 5Ah battery), but you can upgrade to a faster charger and in any case I seriously doubt that anyone could actually flatten a 5Ah battery in less than 4 hours – in general I have been getting a full day, or almost, out of a single 5Ah battery.You can consent to the use of such technologies by using the “Accept” button or manage your options using the “Customise” button.

Apart from a conventional squeeze trigger in the handle the tool incorporates a lock/unlock button at the rear of the motor housing (see sequential and bump mode photo above). I looked at axminster who do a 24 gauge nailer, but as far as I can see 24 gauge nails arent widely available, and the max depth is about 20mm. Additional features include low battery and stall indicator lights (at the top, rear of the motor casing), a stall release lever, and jam-clearing lever. I have noticed a tendency to dry fire when used at extreme angles for toe nailing, but at those angles my old Paslode or Senco would be all but unuseable, so I don't really see it as a problem.It is a popular tool used in construction, woodworking, and other industries that require fast and accurate nailing. DW recommends that you only use bump mode on nails up to 70mm – in reality I found that after the tool had “run-in” it was possible to bump plain shank 90mm nails successfully, although your technique may need some modifying over the way you use a Paslode gun. i was doing a loft conversion job at the time so the gun was used side by side with my makita first fix gun. The nailer runs in two separate modes, sequential mode (where the nose has to be positioned, pushed down onto the work, the trigger pulled, the motor then spools up and it fires) or bump mode (where you pull the trigger to run the motor up to speed then “bump” the tool against the work to fire a nail). The one negative think I noticed was the ferocious kickback it had - like a compressed air nailer running on too high a line pressure.
