DEWALT Brad Nailer Kit, 18GA, 5/8-Inch to 2-Inch, Pneumatic (DWFP12231)

Great tool by Dewalt, as usual. Works like a champ and arrived within 2 days.

This nailer is easy to load. Easy to use. Runs plenty good with a smaller compressor that I have and much cheaper than the battery powered ones

Excelente herramienta!! Muy recomendable.

Great tool good to keep

The brad nailer I had finally gave out, and had to replace it. What a greatvdeal this is, being retired and limited income, to get what basically is a new Dewalt nailer, and at a greatly reduced price!

Very lite easy to use. Good product

I am a little concern about not being able to get repair parts for 20 year tools. This increases the waste we send to land fills.

Nailer works awesome, dewalt products are my favourite and this is as good as I expect it to be

Dewalt makes quality products. I’ve only used this particular gun for one project so far and it performed perfectly.

Been working great. Every nails goes in.

This nailer is easy to load. Easy to use. I have multiple battery-operated DeWalt tools and I’m satisfied with them all, but the drastic difference in price between the battery-powered versus the air-actuated version is so drastic that I chose the air tool. Runs plenty good with a smaller compressor that I have.

Herramienta muy práctica hecha de buenos materiales. El diseño es muy bonito y ergonómico lo cual permite trabajar más tiempo con menos cansancio. Hasta el momento lo que he comprado de la marca Dewalt me ha salido muy bueno y de calidad.

I wish I had purchased a pneumatic nailer decades ago. My thumbs and the heels of both hands would have appreciated not using hammers and manual push type nailing devices to install shoe moulding. I delayed because I had "only" 50-60 feet at a time to install.Working on a project with 400-500 linear feet of shoe moulding to install, against baseboards which had not been properly nailed to the wall (studs) or not even nailed at all, I was looking for a simple, fast, and efficient way to nail finger-joint, MDF and regular wooden baseboard to the sole-plate and to studs before installing MDF shoe moulding. I started with the old hammer, nail-set, brad-pusher method I had used, but it was obvious that with a home constructed using today's slam-bam move-on construction methods, I needed something to quickly drive nails into a shoddily framed home. By that I mean studs on 14", 16", 24" centers, incomplete sole plates at the bottom of the wall board, etc. Stuff that when using a conventional hammer and finish nails is beat to a pulp or the wallboard is loosened by continual hammering, and on and on.I am SO HAPPY that I did the research to purchase a top-quality list of items to put together an easy to use nailing rig. I will list these items at the end, but back to this Brad Nailer review.It arrived quickly (fulfillment by Amazon Prime). Nicely packaged in the injection molded plastic cases included with many DeWalt tools and some brads to get you started. A quick look at the instructions, load with nails, and start nailing. I took some scrap lumber and shot about 10 nails into it to get a feel for aiming, power and depth setting. Everything worked perfectly out of the box. Dirt-something-simple. I was delighted. For the shoe moulding, I was working with 1" brads. 90 pounds of air-pressure and the factory depth setting was perfect to leave a tiny hole in the MDF with the brad top about a 1/16" below moulding surface.For areas where the baseboard needed to be nailed down, I moved to 2 1/4" brads, upped air-pressure to 100 lbs., and clicked the depth setting two-clicks deeper. Easy to read and understand icons let you know exactly which way to turn the detent wheel (forward of the trigger on the underside of the gun) to raise or lower brad depth. It was wonderful to pull the baseboard tight against the wallboard - with just a click of the trigger!In reading nail gun reviews, dry-firing is evidently bad and can damage the hammering mechanism. This unit has an easily visible yellow tab which disappears when you are out of brads/nails. You have to look at it, but since it is easily visible as you align the nailing head, it is easily seen, so not a problem to remember to keep your gun loaded.I know it sounds like I am in marketing for DeWalt, but I promise I am not associated with the company in any way. In an age when so much junk exists, being badged with names which used to mean American quality, this is a reminder that you can find quality from a long-standing American icon, even IF it is manufactured in Asia.After using this nailer on the baseboard, I felt confident enough to go back and pull the trim materials from most of the door-frames in order to straighten and renail. Angle nailing into 1/2" pre-hung door frames was easy, and generally I was able to sink nails exactly where I needed them. My daughter's home now looks as good as any custom home - at least from the woodwork, which is a major part of a home's appearance.Have no trepidation if you have a moulding project to do.
