DEWALT 20V MAX XR Framing Nailer, Dual Speed, Bare Tool Only (DCN692B)

This DeWalt 20 V From nailer is awesome. I turned the power up and it shoots the biggest nails all the way into the wood. I was nailing 2x4s into 4 x 4 and it worked perfectly. Now as far as the shipping. The United States Postal Service was horrible. There was a point where three days transpired and it showed that item never moving from a facility. Maybe it did sit there for three days but I doubt it seriously because a day later it arrived so they’re tracking is horrible then when I picked it up at the post office, the packaging was so damaged. I opened it in front of the postal employee because I just knew it would be damaged. The item was not damaged, but the box looked like you let 10 high school kids play soccer with it. Very disappointed in the United States Postal Service.

This is the older model. On the new one the motor keeps the flywheel running after you shoot for some thing like 4 seconds. To allow rapid follow up shots. When I received this I was initially disappointed that it was the older model but hear me out. I'm not a professional framer and if I was I might want or need that flywheel running like that. After building several rooms with this gun in a remodel I'm glad to own this specific gun. Its just plain safer and plenty fast.Safety- the flywheel motor shuts off as soon as you pull the pressure back off the foot. This in my opinion for home gamers like me is an advantage in safety that can't be made up for in any amount of partial seconds saved waiting for the gun to spin up the fly wheel again. It's plenty fast enough for a home improvement diy guy like myself.Noise- It's loud just like any nail gun, it's basically spinning hammer. Big smack sound. Every once in a while I've seen a spark from a small flake of steel from the nailhead. So loud and sparky.Value- It's expensive, but in my opinion there's no way I could swing a hammer to build an entire house at my age I'd burn out. This gun keeps me going long after my arm would be tired. Best part is no hoses, no compressor. Just pull it out slide in the taped nails and go.Nail type- so this gun requires 30 degree TAPED collated nails not plastic collated nails like 95% of the nails at the store. So you can get them but you'll want to just order those 3-1/4" .131 nails right away when you buy the gun because most stores won't carry every nail size and diameter in the taped collated 30 degree. So just prepare yourself for not using plastic collated nails when you buy this gun. I am running paslode nails with only 1 jam in all the nails I've set and that jam was my fault not the gun or the nails. So essentially flawless performance out of this gun with 3-1/4" .131 paslode bright nails.Quality- As far as build quality it's held up well so far. Like I said I am only a few rooms into framing, but no change in operation works like the day I pulled it out of the box. I could see this gun making many houses before any real failure.

I recently purchased the DEWALT DCN692B 20V Max XR Brushless Dual Speed Nailer, expecting a reliable and efficient tool for my projects. Unfortunately, my experience has been frustrating due to constant jamming issues.From the very first use, the nailer frequently jammed, causing significant delays and interruptions in my work. Despite following all recommended maintenance and operational guidelines, the problem persisted. The jamming often required me to disassemble the tool to clear the nails, which was both time-consuming and inconvenient.Additionally, the dual speed feature, which was a major selling point for me, did not seem to make a noticeable difference in performance. Whether on the high or low setting, the nailer struggled to consistently drive nails without jamming.Overall, the DEWALT DCN692B did not live up to its promises of efficiency and reliability. The constant jamming and underwhelming performance make it a poor choice for anyone looking for a dependable nailer. I would not recommend this product.

resonable pocket handle i like, I like the weight and seems good on battery 5ah. The lock button is right on your hand grip which i dont like because you cant help but to bump it when you go to nail otherwise good.

The Dewalt DCN692B 20V Max XR Brushless Dual Speed Framing Nailer has proven to be an exceptional addition to my toolkit, and it undoubtedly deserves a five-star review.

It's a small but essential feature that demonstrates the tool's thoughtfully designed nature.Reliable Magazine: The magazine is easy to load, holds a significant number of nails, and rarely jams. This reliability keeps my workflow smooth and efficient.Tool-Only Option: The option to purchase the tool-only variant is great for those who already have Dewalt 20V Max batteries and chargers. It's a cost-effective choice, allowing you to expand your tool collection without unnecessary duplicates.In summary, the Dewalt DCN692B 20V Max XR Brushless Dual Speed Framing Nailer is a top-tier tool for framing and construction projects.

Excelente Producto...sin Fallas...muy práctico

I use this nailer daily and it’s been incredible. Much lighter than Milwaukee’s equivalent and about the same weight as Air fed guns with battery attached. The only downside out of the box is the shorter mag capacity and plastic rafter hook but both work great and serve the purpose. I run the 5.0ah batteries and it runs most of the day on one charge. Definitely a cheaper alternative to paslodes gas cartridges and it sinks nails without issue. I was surprised with the amount of power and recoil this unit has for a battery driven nailer. Definitely recommend and like any tool, as long as you take care of it and don’t throw it around, she’ll last forever

I’m not a builder - just a regular DIY homeowner type. I ordered this about a month ago for a rather large remodel project, and I didn’t want to haul my compressor and pneumatic gun up into the attic. I’ve accumulated quite a few to the FlexVolt tools, so I’m pretty well invested in the batteries, and thy have been really solid and flexible tools. Admittedly, I love the ability to swap the batteries when needed, and I’ve pretty much got enough of them to run my drill, saw, nailer, and oscillating tool with minimal swapping.I read the reviews and was concerned over the number of negative reviews - complaints of frequent jams and inability to drive nails completely. But I made the purchase anyway (happy birthday to me). It arrived well packaged, on time, and in perfect condition - for MUCH less than the big box store.I read the directions (shocker there!) and headed up I to the attic. I purchased GripRite brand nails, 3 1/4” and 2 1/2” lengths. I loaded the gun with 3 1/4” and started happily firing away...until after the first shot. Yep - I was the victim of the dreaded incomplete drive and jam. Fired about 10 more, all with the same result despite adjusting the depth of drive to maximum. Was just about to chuck it across the attic, when the nail selector switch at the base of the handle caught my eye, and then it hit me. Short nails use setting #1, and longer nails use setting #2. Setting 1 doesn’t use as much power so it doesn’t overdrive the nails. Setting 2 uses full power, and is NOTICEABLY more powerful. Soooo, I switched over to setting 2 and adjusted the depth of drive, and voila - perfectly driven nails...and then I explained to my son the importance of reading the directions, aaaannnnddd then actually following them. I’ve had one jam since, and that was likely due to the way I was holding it. Otherwise, every nail has been driven perfectly.Most of the negative reviews seem to mirror my initial experience, so i could be wrong, but, I suspect they had the selector switch in the wrong position for the nail they were driving. Position 1 is how the unit was shipped, and I suspect most people are using longer framing nails. So it is a really easy mistake to make, but thankfully, just as easy to correct. The selector switch is tucked neatly out of view (behind/under your fingers) when you are hold the gun, though it is not hidden in any way.All in all, this is a very solid unit, and more than capable of DIY use, and I suspect it would be good for construction also. I’ve got the 6 AH battery loaded and haven’t recharged it yet, and am about 2 weeks into using it. It is MUCH more convenient than having to lug the compressor up stairs and deal with the hose, and waiting for the compressor to recharge. It is a tad heavy when working over your head though.All in all, I find this to be a very solid unit, that is more than capable of delivering on its promises. At the risk of sounding like a DeWalt fanboy...I HIGHLY recommend this nail gun.I was NOT COMPENSATED for this review, I DID NOT receive the item at a discount, and this review accurately describes my experience with the DeWalt FlexVolt framing nail gun.
