I bought this framing nailer to build some 2x4 walls in the basement, a platform and storage shed in the backyard, and some other projects such as quickly repairing rail fencing, etc. It performs very well - shooting 3 1/2" common and galvanized nails nicely. I don't really use bump mode much, as I like to position my nails pretty precisely. It's an expensive tool that I really can't justify financially for only home use - but I really like not having to have a compressor to power it, and to be free of the power cord, hoses, etc. This brushless nailer runs for a LONG time on a single charge of the 4 amp battery, and I have multiple batteries.

The gun works great. People with bad reviews are complainers because they are comparing this gun to an Pneumatic nailer. This gun works great for framing. I own 3 and I have a jamb here and there but not really a problem. The biggest reason why people are having so many jams is because they aren’t using the correct nails. You have to use dewalts nails. Which in my area, home depo nor Lowe’s carries them. So I order them a head of time from amazon. That’s the draw back if your on a jobsite and run out. If you can find a store that carries the specified dewalt nails your in luck. Don’t use paslode nails. They will jam almost every time. They must be slightly bigger then dewalts nails. So pros, great gun, 20v. No gas needed, no maintenance (so far) and works faster then a paslode. Key is to make sure your patient with the nailer and let the motor rev all the way or the nail will either jam or not shoot properly. Bump option works fine. Once your used to it. Just need to learn the tool. Real easy to clear jams. I don’t know why people are complaining about taking so long. And of course it’s a big possibility of a jamb when you hit a knot. Cons, purchasing dewalt nails not readily available. Makes a lot of sense Home Depot sells this gun but not the nails. Real smart.

My husband bought this and was very unsure of the product. After using the nail gun he was like "this is one of the items I've bought in awhile.". He also stated the batter was one of the best he has, it is long lasting.

I'm very pleased with this nail gun. I did a lot of on-line and in-store reviewing/research before buying this gun. I wanted to go DeWalt as I have mostly DeWalt battery powered tools. However, I was willing to go with another brand if I saw a price/value/quality/function difference. I finally settled on this nail gun and am very pleased. It is easy to use, hasn't jammed on me yet (I'm using DeWalt 3" and 2.5" nails so far), and it sets the nails pretty much as the manufacturer describes. The only issue I"ve had with nails not setting flush or further is when I get "lazy" and don't hold the gun firmly against the wood. I'm not enamored with the plastic nose piece that is placed over the end of the gun when you want to protect the wood from the "sawtooth" end, as it seems to occasionally interfere with the gun "charging" and firing. Probably operator error until I get more experience with it. Overall so far, I'm glad I bought it.

You have to hold the trigger to get rapid fire or pull the trigger once for each nail. It will nail as fast as you want it to. I built 6 offices for my wife’s company. The gun worked great. The hanger could be longer though and more ridged. Easily adjust your nail depth. Very happy with it.
