I’ve never understood why people hate the sound they make. I’d argue the flywheel noise is the best part. That way you know the gun is ready to fire. So many times I’ve been trying to toe nail with a Milwaukee in a tight spot and you never know if it’s going to fire or not. Dewalt ramps up and you know the tip is depressed enough and it’s ready to go. Also, it’s the only gun I can use without hearing protection. All the others may be quieter BEFORE you shoot. But they are all louder after

[@gregmize01]

are the extended clips banned in California?

[@MrCubflyer]

Probably 😂😂😂😂

[@jamestaylor6898]

LOL

[@ryobiguydiy]

🤣💀 Anything worth a damn is banned in California lol.

[@flat-earther]

no

[@olgajoachimosmundsen4647]

There's one thing you didn't do; use 3 1/4" nails and drive them in with full depth in different materials and angles.

[@tommychong1173]

Man DeWalt needs to make a 3 1/2 version. So don't have to put a extra nail to meet code. I knew if I waited they would make it better than the first one. And extended rack nice. Gotta run n get one now.

[@MrCubflyer]

​@@tommychong1173 I thought this was capable of 31/2 inch nails.

[@tommychong1173]

@@MrCubflyer well I got a pneumatic one and it only holds 3 1/4. It was black Friday left over after Christmas, not really bought on Christmas Eve for $ 120. And that why I said that , an had my eye the metabo HPT nailers

[@renurenovationsllc7780]

These track the nails as well. At least the first generation did.

[@loganphillips8821]

What’s the website that you got the extended clip from?

[@chopshop523]

I love the fact that it's analog! It needs to be a quality built machine that is built to last, eliminate misfires, and have high-quality parts that can easily be repaired in the field!

[@philipnielsen2462]

Thanks for the review. I've been so curious to see how this would perform. I would like to see if it can consistently drive 3" or bigger nails into lvl. I love that they were able to shave some weight, great point on analog being a good option. Definitely not a fan of flywheel noise though

[@ajdizzle4shizzle]

We need a TOOL DUEL!!!

[@leonardpaciora5039]

Thanks again Clint!!!!

[@hedmisten]

I think for basic framing and construction, this thing is legit vs setting up a compressor, or even hand driving nails. I've ordered one after passing on the previous gen 21 degree. I wear ear pro most days running a saw, so I doubt the noise will bother me. Thanks for the video!

[@thevillain8151]

I wanted dewalt to make this thing like the Milwaukee but compact and it doesn't have to shoot nails like its mental, instead they double down lol

[@renurenovationsllc7780]

The flywheel design stays cooler on hot summer days so a benefit there. So for a nice NON harsh shot, and Longevity, Metabo HPT hands down. We use them to sheet houses sometimes, 2,000 nails in under an hour, with one gun, anything over about 1000 nails almost continually firing makes very any gas type extremely unhappy. But the older generations of Dewalts never had the power for ring shanks in old rafters. And no I am not switching to slowly loosening smooth nails. And the older Dewalt driver tips mushroomed, you had to pull them and grind them smooth occasionally. My FIrst Dewalt showed 50,000 plus nails on the cycle counter.

[@mariuszstanisz9070]

One big difference over the predecessor is speed. There is almost no ramp-up time.

[@pete_lind]

First gen was most durable, cant get even spare parts to those, 2nd gen they made it wear out faster and 3rd gen weight saving means weaker parts. DeWelt nailers tell how many thousand nails you have fired , by blinking its light , so in maintenance they know if customer claim low usage and its fired 20k nails,

[@bengthokanson700]

Actually is plan to see the dewalt is smaller. 5:06 in video. It’s shorter and does it have that side pump out like the Milwaukee. It’s narrow at the tip and tapers back consistently. It’s fatter at the back end but where it matters up front its narrower and doesn’t have that offset plastic.

[@GoldMineArcade]

Awesome! Just ordered from the Depot and put my previous gen on marketplace. A head to head would be cool

[@nosnim2207]

I got mine last week. Sold my older gen on eBay pretty quickly. I got the 30 deg model (DCN930B).

[@Natedoc808]

I have the prior Gen and framed a whole house with it, it still runs like a top. This one has less lag time to spin up but overall, tried and proven guns.

[@claytonb7915]

Yes on the Tool Duel...I will keep my Milwaukee 30 no matter what but Duel away and I'll watch.

[@tommychong1173]

Dude where did you come across this one. Would like site or store

[@ThePako1984]

I just got the milwaukee, but I will get this one for sure

[@Pyro-01]

What 3-in budget nails work best in the 21 degree nailer ??

[@mikeevans565]

I definitely need one of these . If the flywheel is too noisy you can always turn up the radio!! Definitely real naaaaas like. I prefer analog. It’s like an old 4c4 with locking hubs.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Haha, like an autograph song 🤣🤟🤟🤟

[@renurenovationsllc7780]

Please Try some 3” and 3-1/4” ring shanks in old hard lumber.

[@americanguns6732]

Head to head to head!! M18 vs DeWalt vs Metabo HPT!!

[@tommychong1173]

Fuck yeah

[@loucifer4205]

I've got to see this gun in person at a Home Depot and a guy asked if it's more powerful than the Milwaukee well were in Home Depot and I know they carry Milwaukee so they bought one and used a forge battery and the dewalt the small power stack 1.7 ah and still drove the nails deeper on every angle using 31/2 nails and was faster

[@chelolelo]

Im looking forward to the new makita gun but there isnt any info on it as of yet. I refuse to grab the milwakee one as you cant service it and must send it in to get serviced.

[@Sgten01]

Id definitely would try using it with 1.7ah powerstack. Weight is a big factor in a nail gun. Wouldnt even consider Milwaukee cus of the weight. I got the paslode right now and really want to try the dewalt to compare it.

[@bobmarli6095]

Should have tried using 90mm nails and shooting into hardwood any nailer can shoot into pine that’s hardly pushing it.

[@anthonyvargas8704]

Sweet I want one 😍

[@hartsymk1]

I can absolutely garentee that the dewalt tracks how many nails you've fired, the last ones all did it and you had to press the button in a set combo and there's alil light on the side that'll flash once for every 1000 nails, this will be no different, average of about 25/30k nails and the spring for the flywheel will be knackered and need changing, common problem with them but a cheap fix you can do yourself, anyway looks like they've taken the motor from the concrete nailer so this should be a good improvement hopefully it'll last longer than the previous gens.

[@louisd95714]

If Dewalt would have paired this with ear plugs, it would have been real Nas like:)

[@InChristAloneForever]

It weights a 1/2 lb MORE than the DCN692B according to our weigh test. At least this is the DCN930B.. still about a lb lighter than Milwaukee. 😊

[@stevenswain1323]

It does seem to work real nice like I agree love your stuff. Keep up the great videos ❤ What in your recommendations would you pick or use as far as brands Dewalt or Milwaukee leave a video in this would be AWESOME thanks

[@ToolReviewZone]

I like them both. Each do a great job with their tools. Can't really go wring with either

[@johndough4871]

The old ones just quit working from what ive seen. Bet this one holds up a lil better.

[@olgajoachimosmundsen4647]

Clint, does the 30 and 21 degree nailer have the same piston so that magazines are interchangeable?

[@kylefowler5082]

It's tool duel time! Also is the Dewalt short enough to fit in between two studs?

[@GoldMineArcade]

Yes, it fits between 16 inch centered

[@ToolReviewZone]

Will definitely fit 👊

[@chopshop523]

When do we get to a head to head battle?

[@SgtRyansPrivates]

I have dewalt everything, but I think I’ll get the Milwaukee or an air nailer. I hate dewalt nailers

[@johnscritchfield5736]

Lighter than the red gun!!! I’ll take the DEWALT!

[@interman7715]

I have the last model ,it is excellent and I personally don't think they are as bulky as Milwaukee etc .The Dewalt nailer is reliable and fires fast ,it is well balanced. The noise is not a concern as all electric nailers make noise,I wouldn't hesitate to buy this new nailer if I needed it .

[@vincentking8874]

I have the previous one as well(rebuilt at that) and use it as a full time carpenter for two and a half years and I love it outside the weight. I have a paslode as well that’s quite old, and a guy I work with has the Dewalt, my Dewalt runs circles around both the other two. Had a guy helping us with the newest paslode and it was off every time we tried to fire it, drove me crazy! When it was on it just kept up wit my Dewalt. I think just some of the Dewalt are great but a large portion seem to maybe have a defect, when you have a good one they’re the best but most aren’t.

[@interman7715]

@@vincentking8874 Yep I think some early Dewalts were a bit troublesome but then again they invented electric nailers so maybe some teething troubles perhaps?

[@kiralypeter88]

The nonmarring tip is probably for fencing jobs and your beloved analog switches are covering up little itty bitty digital clicky buttons. So it wont be any more durable but still it's easier to use with gloves.

[@Coxfame]

I am black and yellow team, spent over $300 on the first 30° 1st gen framer, which was totally garbage. Then I bought a 21° framer. It was good for a couple of years with very very light use (maybe 50 nails per month) nailing boards up in the attic to brace chandeliers. Now it started acting up. I am very disappointed. I have a huge 20v lineup tools not easy to switch brand. I use pneumatic guns for all day framing.

[@Caymen43]

Ive grown to love the flywheel design. When Im trying to engage the gun in a hard to reach awkward angle, the sound of flywheel tells me im ready to fire With Milwaukee you have no idea till you pull the trigger. Can be very frustrating.

[@Patricksmancave]

Dewalt makes one of the best nail guns out there. This looks a lot faster than the old model. Like how quit it is. This tool is to big still.This is a 100% better now. Thank you!

[@huymammin5915]

i had one of those. its way too heavy, it need 2 secs to rotate before nailing. it broked and i bought makita for air compressor 4 times cheaper and its really pleasant to use, light, no rotation, no noise etc. even that its wired to compressor is not too uncomfortable as weight of those dewalts

[@donjewett1059]

whats it weigh?

[@joshuafreier1749]

Did you have any jamming issues? Jamming has been a huge issue with dewalt cordless nailers.

[@interman7715]

I have had one jam in 18 months and it was my fault and it was very quick to clear .

[@loucifer4205]

Flywheel is better don't have to fill a tank after 6 months of heavy use

[@joshking2991]

From the looks of it at world of concrete, I really had high hopes. Couldn’t tell in the media coverage that the flywheel was still part of the functionality of these newer models.

[@rileytaylor1206]

Glad they did some upgrades but that flywheel is utterly annoying to hear

We need leaks on Dewalt DCF 860 and DCF 870 impacts.

[@mojo7586]

As modern and updated as the catapult !!

[@fZionists78]

The DeWalt looks big…until you set the same size Milwaukee on it. It comes down to weight and comfort and TBH I haven’t held either. Yes, I know one is wider…and requires less maintenance. Typical given the two brands. Granted it was a decade ago and things are always changing. After spending exactly ten years in construction, I liked Milwaukee slightly more…until they broke. Which every single one of them did…within a year. Not the case for DeWalt. Tools were bulletproof, batteries not so much…at the time. Like I said, things are always changing. In fact, thanks to this jokester, I’m currently leaning FLEX. Occasionally Makita.

😎⚒️😎⚒️😎

[@jamienava6750]

Pneumatic all the way. These guns are heavier and slower. I tried one and returned it.

[@bossmanz28]

There's nothing wrong with analog settings. What is the difference? It's not any harder to change modes. Ive used tools that have had issues with changing modes on their own due to vibration with digital. A nailer wouldnt have that issue but like I said it doesn't matter. Or like dewalts variable speed grinder has a dial while flex 24v is digital and the dewalt has more speed settings

[@loucifer4205]

Hate digital analog is wayyyyyy better and more durable
