  1. I’ve owned this gun for a year and half. Lots of misfires, double shots, shooting out of the bottom of the gun etc. Lots of time wasted clearing jambs. The depth adjustment seems to constantly unlock at the wrong time disabling the trigger while something is being held in the air. I really don’t have anything good to say about the gun. On one deck job shortly after I purchased this gun I came back from an errand to find the guys hand nailing the structure rather than use this gun. enough said.

  2. Screening in a porch and bought this to build new pillars and such. I probably drove less than 50 nails when a seal blew out. . . . Lowes was good enough to swap it out. I’ll update if it makes it past the next 50 nails.

    Most of my tools are Dewalt, so I’m biased toward Dewalt. I wish this was more inline with their other product.

  3. Several carpenters have used this on jobsite, all encountered frequent jams. Nails double feed. Half hour with needle nose, screwdriver, old sawzall blade, to clear. Good framing tool but depth adjust not fine enough for decking over PT. Either above surface or punches too deep. I would spend the extra and get gun with tool free clearance mechanism.

    Keep your hammer handy if you buy this model.

  4. I have been framing for seven years. I have used the Paslode nailer, the Stanley/Bostich nailer and the Hitachi nailer. The De Walt nailer is the best one I have ever used. It is cheaper, lighter, stronger, and more efficent than the others I have used. The only thing that sucks about it is that it doesn’t have a sky hook but that can be easily over come by bying one seperatly and welding it on the magazine.

  5. Day 1. . . gun misfires and frequently jams. Later in day gun fails to fire at all. Day 2 Return gun purchased on Day 1. New gun fires but jambs frequently. Unjamming of gun annoying and not tool free.

    Until Dewalt gets its act together, purchase a tried and true Hitachi which is what i did on Day 3.
