Acme Tools is reporting that the warehouse is waiting on inventory, which means it won’t ship out immediately. Still, the deal is so good it’ll be worth the wait.

How do dewalt cordless nailers compare to the Market? I know the framing nailer is in last compared to the Hitachi and Milwaukee (if that framer is anything like it showed at the showcase)
Milwaukee is also coming out with Version 2 of their finish nailers, so for a trim guy its worth investing into a couple batteries and chargers to have the best, so my question is how do the Dewalts compare? Is there a noticable speration of the major Cordless finish nailers?

I’m a trim carpenter and I use the DeWalt 18 and 15 gauge cordless nailers for all my work. I don’t think there’s notable separation in the tools but if the price were equal I’d buy the Milwaukee. Their 18 gauge specifically is much more balanced and easy to manipulate. The DeWalt is very top heavy. Also notable is my 18 gauge broke after about 5 months and I had to pay about $100 to have it serviced. I’ve been using it more than a year since then problem free. The factors that tip me in the dewalts favor is they’re much cheaper at the big box stores where I end up buying most of my tools. I was also already bought into their battery system but I’d be willing to mix in the Milwaukee if the price were lower.

So Dewalt would not repair your nailer under their 3 year warranty?
Gaelan Clark
They might have but when I bought it I neglected to register it and then lost the paperwork. Was also valuable for my work to be able to drop it off and pick it up next day and I would have had to ship it to DeWalt for a warranty claim
Chris I
is this “next-gen” 3ah battery somehow more amazing?
Stuart
10-cell battery capacity in a 5-cell package.

I build cabinets and do trim professionaly. I use the 20v 18g nailer on all my jobs and have for about 2 or so years. It is very good.

Now just if it could set nails consistently…havent found a cordless brad nailer yet that works for more than a month on a profesional level…works good the first few weeks then the driver developes play then skips over the bradnail head leaving a slightly exposed brad nail head and a secondary hole above the nail sticking up have used the hitachi the senco fusion 3 different 20v dewalt cordless brad nail milwaukees new and old cordless brad nailer and what good is the cordless when you trim like a pro like me drive 1000-1500 nails a day and it leaves 50+ nails sticking up when my pneumatic when properly set up at the pressure required leaves me maybe 2 or 3 to set per job and usualy its due to hitting something like a drywall screw.. cant believe when they are charging $300-$400 for these cordless guns from professional tool manufacturers for pro contractors they do such a poor job they have a good ways to go with these cordleas guns weight reductions size reduction and consistentcy woild be nice only cordless that sets nails regularly are the paslodes and i cannot stomache paying for fuel just to fire nails though hopefuly they perfect it soon the 15 ga cordless dewalt angle nailer works beautifuly but the brad nailers are a flop and it would be so amazing to not need a compressor or hoses but these companies just arent there yet

Have the Dewalt 16 gauge cordless, it is fine for shooting pine into new pine, does not like to even shoot 1/2” thick oak window stops on . I agree Djf, about the Paslode that gun is a beast and I keep coming back to it. The 18 gauge crown stapler has been pretty damn good though, consistently sets even going as fast as I can in bump mode. I Asked the tool repair person at Acme who make a good gasless, cordless gun and he says they all suck and break.

“They don’t do what they’re supposed to” is what I always hear. Meanwhilst their senco quadruple fires all day… Lol.
I just want a flexvolt medium crown that ends the argument forever.
