About this deal

I've now used about 4 boxes of nails (3300 nails per box – it's been mainly 90mm plain shanks as well), so I think I've got a reasonable idea of how the tool works. They're ideally suited for professional use in construction tasks such as framing and sub-floor laying, where manual nailing would otherwise be highly repetitive and time-consuming.

You can consent to the use of such technologies by using the “Accept” button or manage your options using the “Customise” button. I've therefore wanted a battery-only 1st fix nailer from a main stream power tool manufacturer with Li-Ion batteries which could be interchanged with my main stream cordless tools for years – in fact ever since I heard that deWalt were working on one back around 2005 or 2006.

The Hikoki NP18DSALW4Z 18V 23 Gauge Pin Nailer is a lightweight and compact piece of equipment, ideal for working with nails between 15 and 35mm in length. just under 8lbs) it is a fairly heavy tool (although lighter than the first generation 16ga first fix gun I still use) and whilst I consider it to be reasonably well balanced in the hand, for that reason I have to admit it won't for everyone. What wasn’t initially obvious is that the strip must be slid into a channel, on the tip side of the magazine. I know other brands make them but I’m a huge dewalt 20v guy I’m wondering if anyone had heard about a 23 gauge pin nailer I have the other cordless guns and a “micro” pinner would make life a lot better. The following are trademarks for one or more DEWALT power tools, accessories, anchors and concrete adhesives: The yellow and black color scheme; the “D”-shaped air intake grill; the array of pyramids on the handgrip; the kit box configuration; and the array of lozenge-shaped humps on the surface of the tool.

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. After about three months reasonably heavy use in a professional environment I think that a lot of the comments I've read on the net were made by people who simply hadn't used the gun enough to even run it in, let alone understand how to use it to the best. There is a fairly standard looking thumb wheel depth control fitted to the nose of the tool to vary the amount a nail head will be sunk into the material. DeWalt recommends either Dewalt or Porter-Cable pins, but I have had great success with Senco as well. Not to be overly cryptic, but I’m afraid I won’t mention or promote in any way the nailer or the company that sold it as - while the nailer is perfectly decent - the two are intertwined and the company are a bunch of monkeys and not to be trusted, in my experience.I've loaned mine to several other carpenter's I've worked with and most expressed surprise at how well the gun actually performs (maybe the scuttlebut on the 'net has had some effect on people's perceptions), but they were divided 50/50 over the weight of the tool. International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions. 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.Gas also has a sell by date, so yes, it can go out of date and then it may or may not work and it might oil-up the insides of the gun which will mean a strip down and clean is required (and there are shifty little so and so's at some builder's merchants who will happily short change you by selling you out of date gas unless you watch them like a hawk). Gone is the scary trip into the innards of the tool to replace the drive pin if it shears off (and again, this happens to all nailers, of all types, from time to time in trade volume use). The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

the igniters can fail without warning (and for what is effectively little more than a Piezo-electric lighter they cost a fortune to replace) but worst of all you always seem to run out of gas at 2pm on a Saturday afternoon when the dealers are shut, you are a 4 hour drive from home and you need to get another 300 nails in. Pity dewalt chose to do an angle only unit when 90% of site users have a straight nailer and that's all the sites supply in terms of nails.The following panel allows you to customize your consent preferences for any tracking technology used to help us achieve the features and activities described below.
