Dewalt Performance Awesome

I bought the nailer to install 3/4 inch wood flooring. Using the 16 gauge nailer, I was able to fire 2 inch brads throught the tongue of african rosewood flooring. A flooring nailer is recommended for this job but I was able to accurately hit the sweet spot above the tongue every time. African rosewood is much harder than oak and the nailer handled the job without a problem. I also like the versatility of having the 18 gauge nailer which I used to shoot 1-1/2 inch brads through quarter round molding. This unit is light weight but has plenty of power. For $300, it is well worth the price.

Update (5/20/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

Dewalt Compressor/nail gun combo
I do a lot of drywall repair and re-texturing of ceilings & wall areas. I had to replace my old compressor which weighed 50 lbs and was looking for something easier to carry. This compressor works fine, is easy to carry but does run low on compression sometimes because of the small tank. This has not been a problem for me because it does recover quite quickly. I have really enjoyed the compressor in my day to day work and have also used both nail guns on a couple of projects. They worked well and made my jobs so much easier. I am really glad that I made the purchase.

Good Tool for a Newbie
I am not a professional, so I thought a lot cheaper to buy a compressor and nail gun to install, cut some at my house. I am glad that I decided to spend the extra money for this tool. It is from the installation of the trim a breeze. I look forward to tackling new projects with this, and it made me a supporter of the DeWalt products.
