DEWALT’s new framing nailer first test

[@olgajoachimosmundsen4647]

People who love the pneumatic stuff needs to remember that hikoki and Milwaukee must be refilled every once in awhile. This probably costs 100-150 dollars. My hikoki nailer has been refilled 3 times. Also, the seals and such will start to leak after some time, which will require costly maintenance. Dewalt's mechanical solutions ain't as dumb as it looks. I've got two dewalt guns and two hikoki. I think the new generation dewalt will be very good!

[@olgajoachimosmundsen4647]

Dewalt guns are also very well balanced and lighter. Milwaukee framer is both heavier and front heavy. Hikoki is better than Milwaukee in this area, but not as good as dewalt.

[@elsewhere9167]

I refilled my own with their ( Metabo) regulator for about 50 bucks... and I can reuse it... my Metabo rocks! (4 years old)

[@darinvee4980]

Yes, the flywheel may not be as appealing, but I'm betting it's much more durable than the canister. I've had my Dewalt 30 degree for 4 years and it has never had an issue.

[@johnnybear111]

Anything's better than that damn air hose

[@bigbeet2947]

Hikoki valve and you’re recharging yourself all day long. F the Milwaukee design though, unbelievable

[@GuyBaptist777]

That looks like a serious upgrade from the last model. I might actually reconsider DeWalt in their flywheel after seeing this.

[@LigerSupremacy]

Dewalt makes the best cordless framing nailer for those that don't mind the weight and noise. I have done zero maintenance so far. It has run perfectly for quick framing jobs.

[@bentuovila5296]

Mine has been great. Not as fast as a pneumatic one but for most tasks the convenience is well worth it the half second delay.

[@DK-jd8bj]

Milwaukee is so much better

[@dmitrisonijosofianikolai7247]

Had bad experience with Milwaukee nail guns

[@TOOL_TECHNICAL]

how long and how hard do you run it is the question. a lot of nailers start showing their true colors when you need them most. some carpenters say it's around 50-60k nails in where you start noticing issues if any. I've heard many bad impressions of Dewalt's nailers. we all just want dependable tools and could care less about the colors lol

[@loucifer4205]

Glad they kept the flywheel design far superior to the air tank design which with heavy use runs out of air 6 months to a year with the dewalt you get 3 to 5 years before you have to service plus it's a lot lighter

I really appreciate this input because I only ever hear people complaining about the flywheel, and never talking about it having any advantages

[@ToolReviewZone]

Appreciate the feedback brother, and yeah, you make a great point 👉

[@blamuk]

What kind of servicing does it need in 3-5 years?

[@loucifer4205]

@@blamuk The firing pin and spring wear out

[@onikwa]

Ok but if you buy a good brand like the OG air spring Metabo HPT they let you service it yourself... 5 seconds with a compressor.

[@chelolelo]

I went thru one of the newer 930 models. It ran good for about 200 nails. Then had a jam...Then kept jamming on every nail after. Took it back, and tried another. It jammed about 5 nails in Tried griprite and paslode and dewault nails. Got a milwaukee and no problems

[@chalillo2268]

I own the old one! Disappointed they still keep same tech. Going for milwaukee next!

[@sodakkid6054]

[@spilleradam]

I had the Dewalt 16 gauge finish gun for 5 years it was junk, I sold it and bought the Milwaukee 16 gauge second generation it’s a much better gun, it’s very good almost like a pneumatic air gun but heavier, I would definitely recommend it.

[@twescher]

That dewalt looks really heavy duty. I own the 15ga finish milwaukee and still have pneumatic for when I frame. Love my milwaukee

[@bewbathis_3211]

Been using the Milwaukee one for a few months now. Working great for the most part. Battery life USUALLY lasts a work day per charge. Definitely quieter. The thing is pretty heavy compared to a regular air gun

[@GoldMineArcade]

@@spilleradamI’ve have the DeWalt 16 gauge nailer for 3 years. What do you not like about it? Mine has never had a nail jam and it works smooth as butter

[@blamuk]

I guess i don't mind the sound if its actually reliable, sink full depth into lvls and don't need topping up with compressed gasses like the others do.

[@sfcarp9418]

The Hikoki ( or in the U.S Metabo HPT ) is a great gun and slightly lighter than the Milwaukee gun !!

[@KingYang05]

It shot all those nails with no pilot holes. Impressive.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Hahaha 🤣🤣👊👊

[@rosscoursey4979]

Milwaukee still has the best overall cordless nail gun

[@jrod5113]

Having the flywheel always active 🤔... wouldn't that reduce the tool life?

[@N1rOx]

it's probably timed and couldn't be shown in a short. There's many times where you need to adjust a piece and only have one shot to tack it in place temporarily. It's likely left on for those moments. My guess would be 10 seconds on. Just my speculation though.

[@pootinhammer]

my paslode nailers are approaching 20 years old and still work like new.they just need to be cleaned and oiled a few times per year and ive probably replaced the o ring 3 times over their lifetime. its gonna be a tough decision figuring out what to replace them with when the time comes

[@durenjacob694]

The flywheel sound is much better than the compressor going off, if it bothers you just west ear protection?

[@fzavala777]

Metabo hpt has the best cordless framing gun

[@user-it4nu7im1v]

Meanwhile everyone trying to one up eachother on brands I have a 1980s Bostitch Stanley n86 that goes as good as the day I bought it and I've only replaced the seals like 4 weeks ago which is why I'm still getting nailgun algorithms Yeah I ain't switching to battery, I'll take a 50m long airline anyday A piece of PVC pipe with a a portion cut down the length is great for holding a disconnected airline while you walk around

[@fazed_out4205]

I prefer the flywheel cause it's better. Milwaukee framing nailer has a mini air compressor in it, but you'll have to put air in it when the nailing gets weaker and it costs money, with all this inflation I can't afford air lol dewalt it is

[@theSaltyCarpenter]

Metabo hpt nailers are the best!!!!

[@BryanClark-gk6ie]

All tool brands have their pros and cons. DeWalt gets a bad rap from a lot of people' I have several different types in different brands of battery powered tools. Over all and for the money' I've had good service out of DeWalt tools for the past 25/30 years. Use them alot in the body shop business.

[@richardsampson449]

Model name is the framing banshee.

[@MikeWithUrBike]

I’ve used both for work. dewalt has been more reliable for me. What you have to pay attention to is the material your shooting into. If you going into hardie I set in power 1 and set nail depth all the way down and when I shoot into studs it lands perfect depth. Framing I’m usually in power 2 with 1/4-1/2 depth Milwaukee has been ok to use. It seems like it jams up on me a lot though. Both nailers shoot plastic prices everywhere. It’s nature of the beast when not using paper or coil

They're now on what? Gen 4 now? Same tech? Definition of sunk cost fallacy. Germans love a good flywheel.

[@LigerSupremacy]

They've sold thousands of them and people keep buying them because they work well if you know how to operate them effectively.

[@N1rOx]

@@LigerSupremacy They sell thousands because of the lock in effect a major brand has when they have proprietary batteries. The average blue collar guy isn't scouring the internet for reviews or opinions. When Carpenters discuss nail guns to buy on message boards and facebook groups, DeWalt gun is recommended last. I'd say I'm read up to about Gen 2, used Gen 1 extensively and those were not good guns. Weak and consistently misfires compared to sealed cylinder and about on par with gas. Gen 3 appears to be improved from ratings I've seen online, so it's clear progress has been made. You have to ask yourself though, did they need to take 4 iterations to catch up to gen 1 sealed cylinder nailers in terms of power, consistency? 2024 catches up to 2017.

[@minhdaubu2363]

You can say that 2017 caught up to 2013 and 2013 caught up to 2008 too. Usually the one that comes out later would do a number on their competitors. The upcoming makita will probably do a number on Milwaukee too with their user serviceability
