DeWalt DCF920 20V MAX 21° Cordless Framing Nailer Review

DeWalt sent us their new DCN920 Framing Nailer with their Advanced Flywheel Technology that stores energy longer. #sponsored Once the trigger or tip is depressed, then the flywheel spins up and stays running for 6 seconds. Once you pull the trigger or depress the tip again, this starts the clock all over again. You're rarely waiting on the flywheel to spin up to speed.

Well, that certainly didn’t go as planned. Glad you got it for free anyways.

[@kickyourfaceandlaugh607]

This guy is a clown. Look towards the end of the video, he has to set the depth down a lot! So this whole time his depth wasn’t even set correctly. If case you didn’t know for framing you can set your depth all the way down and for sheeting osb or fascia boards you set your depth to where it’s flush on the surface. This guy had the depth wrong the whole demo

[@Tsitris46]

I have this nailer-no issues right out of the box. Its your nails that are causing these issues. I ran passload brand without one issue.

[@Learningtree1738]

I bought the metabo and I haven’t had any issue

[@mos8541]

I LOVE flywheels! they fly!.. smFh .. and.. DCF860!

[@richadent968]

I have had several nail guns that will shoot most nails great. but one or two low cost nails would jam.

[@jamienava6750]

I have the previous version of this gun and I've also tried Metabo's and Milwaukee's offerings. I'd rather drag an air hose around for production work. These are OK for small punch work.

[@2down4up]

Now the obvious question is how does it compare to the TTI rivals? You know the non flywheel type! I think it’s time for a showdown! Please?!

[@g8beast679]

I'm a home DIY. Looking for a framing nailer for fencing, decking and small sheds. Looking at how heavy and unreliable these battery powered are, i'd rather get the hose one with the compressor.

[@markgross3256]

I am curious on the weight compared to the Milwaukee? I use all Dewalt tools except nail guns I use Milwaukee. I bought the 18 gauge Dewalt used it for 1 day and took it back and got the Milwaukee.

[@kickyourfaceandlaugh607]

It’s pretty light compared to the Milwaukee. I have this dewalt nailer it’s really good. Been using it for little punch out framing.

[@chopshop523]

These guns have no issue firing. Multiple reviews show this and I shoot different nails as fast as I want with no issue. The top plate screws need to be tightened and you should be good to go.

[@tim62744]

Paslode will still gobble it up still the best

[@mickbrown942]

Say what you want about Ryobi but I think it’s got this one beat in a bad way..😂

[@leonardpaciora5039]

JUNK!!!! Good video anyway, Thanks!!!!!

Man the only Dewalt framing nailer ive ever seen work properly is mine. 😂 every single other one is trash.

[@DGALVIN45]

Metabo Hpt >

[@loucifer4205]

I was at tool show the dewalt blew the Milwaukee away

[@TBird89]

Why would anyone buy Milwaukee? DIY tools quality tools at tradie prices 👎🏻 Actually M12 range is decent

[@louisd95714]

@@TBird89 DIY? Is this why most Milwaukee tools come on top for independent reviewers? Is this why the M18 Fuel hammer drill is considered one of the most powerful hammer drills ever built, as well as the M18 impact driver? I seriously think think you should stop dreaming,

@@louisd95714 not dreaming mate. Reviews are by loyal buyers, all their tools shit themselves.

[@g8beast679]

This is embarrassing. All my tools are Dewalt 20v with mix of 12v. But come on Dewalt... you send a tool over for testing, did you test it yourself before sending?

[@TBird89]

The Dewalt design team have no idea. This gun had the opportunity to have the magazine set directly under the body instead of being angled, will look better. No need for a 21 degree magazine, do your homework and what type of nail sells the most, just sell one type of nail nine degrees is not gonna change the framing industry, the whole idea should be you can use any manufacturers nails that are readily available. Provide a more aggressive tip, how many reviews can the design team completely ignore… obviously the design team don’t watch videos or listen to their customers. Dewalt have had all these years to have a versatile belt and rafter hook, but only come up with this shit rafter hook …why. The flywheel tech has room to improve but obviously the R&D team didn’t get enough funds to be more creative. Get rid of the bowed handle, nobody else has one…. Tidy up your magazine and just like the Paslode provide a metal strip on the bottom so you push timber without worrying about cracking the magazine. Just like the charged battery nailers which have very limited opportunity to get lighter or better, Dewalts nailer can soon be obsolete due to the manufacturer not investing being creative and sufficient money. That will leave Paslode laughing all the way to the bank.

[@kickyourfaceandlaugh607]

If you watched the whole video you can see towards the end he had to set the depth all the way down to toe nail 😂 so this whole time he wasn’t even at the right depth of drive for those 3 inch rink shanks 😂 I have this same nailer and I shot lvl’s together the gun had no problem.

[@davidrodriguez5804]

fix the title DCF920 is the wrong sku

[@derekrundlett8450]

Wow juuuuuuuuunk

[@lthegr81]

I agree

[@kickyourfaceandlaugh607]

This guy is a clown. First he doesn’t have the depth set all the way down for framing, he’s using 16 ring shanks which who uses them for framing? Plus if you did you would pace your shots. As a actual framer I used this framer for my yellow pine girders for my floor system no issues.

[@kickyourfaceandlaugh607]

Look towards the end look how much he has to set the depth down 😂 bro is using 3 inch ring shanks and the depth wasn’t even set all the way down

[@jnmc-vx4fw]

Still junk, all the cordless nailers are junk except the roofing gun, is great for installing Anderson windows and quick roof jobs.

[@jamienava6750]

Yep. All cordless nailers are heavier and slower. I'd rather drag an air hose around.

[@jnmc-vx4fw]

@@jamienava6750 heavier yes , junk no

[@adu1978]

It’s ok but they could do better

[@tim62744]

And motor will burn out faster no it’s a complete fail

[@whatthehellimbored]

I like DeWalt but I will never buy that flywheel garbage

[@kickyourfaceandlaugh607]

This guy is a clown he’s making it look bad on purpose. I have this same nailer and I don’t have any problems with it.

[@chopshop523]

This flywheel is a monster and it doesnt jam! And the biggest thing is that you save money not having to buy cartridges. And you can easily maintenance it yourself.

[@tim62744]

Complete shite

[@Learningtree1738]

Dump the fly wheel already
