DeWALT XR Concrete Nailer HAS A SPECIAL FEATURE! (don't overlook this!)

[@stephie176]

Finally a great video of an awesome tool and yes it has been around for about 3 years i own one i'm happy with it ... videos like this makes me forget about this awful virus going on

[@brettsuppenbach9089]

The light never flashes red because of Gas, Always battery!!

[@jakeg6383]

Rookies aye

[@anthonymomentoff5053]

I know, feigned ignorance is annoying.

[@TheGomezIndustries]

If the plastic sleeve breakdown overtime you’ll end up with a loose nail. That is not perfectly embedded.

[@JTHale13]

The company I work for has one and I love it! I do commercial HVAC install and DeWalt also offers accessory hardware to use with the pins such as washers and hanger brackets so I can shoot a nail through their washer to hold hanger strap to concrete for hanging duct or I can shoot a nail through one of their hanger brackets and then loop cable through the hole in the bracket to hang duct. It's so much quicker than drilling a hole and then pounding in one of those anchors that looks like a bent nail. I believe they also sell an extension pole so you can use it without climbing a ladder. I would imagine ceiling grid guys could use one for hanging their grid wires as well.

[@wadevermeersch5401]

I have had one when they first came out I still use gas more because the power , but it still works good for new concrete, just need better pins

[@sohilronagh286]

Looks like the very short nails are having difficulty going into the tough "old cured" concrete. Not sure how it will work with structural steel either if its having difficulty with the concrete. I'm on full Dewalt ecosystem, but I think more R&D is required on this product, will have to wait it out for the second revised version. Not quite there yet.

[@robertopics]

Just like their framing gun that uses the paper collated (paslode) nails.

[@smyteyouall8256]

Like all dewalt nail guns they're underpowered.

[@handybook2541]

This nailer is weak I think paslode or Ramsey is better for the price

[@jamesleggett539]

There are special hardened nails that you have to use when punching into steel or toughened concrete. They are marked with a black colour. These yellow ones are standard nails

[@superhero-onstandby]

Ramset and a yellow shot never fails us when installing delta membranes lol

[@mattallen1660]

Pretty impressive to be honest. Cordless power tools have come so far, I remember when I got into the trades all we had to use was the old Makita long handle 12 volt drills that would get so hot one couldn’t use it and u better have had 15-20 batteries on hand 😂.

[@timpearson4040]

Hey just a story I was told here in Denver by a Dewalt rep, he had a guy buying up a ton of the 2 1/4 nails, so he asked him what he was doing. The guy said he was nailing together SUPER hard woods and nothing he could find could do it except this gun. Interesting solution!

[@timpearson4040]

Use the 1/2 inch for steel there black strips not yellow they work better, I've shot down 1000s of ft of c channel for shaft wall at condo separation WALLS. That gun is AWSOME and is another reason I'm a Dewalt guy they are truly the company of inovation.

[@VCGConstruction]

👍🏻

[@jeromedenis4754]

I would love to have the DeWalt tool to add to my DeWalts, but I'm past that point in my life. 36 years ago I first used the old orange handle Remington nailer with a big ball-peen hammer to set the charge off. We rented a 7,500 sq. ft. first-floor space, cleared the old walls, and built 11+ foot high walls with steel studs. I'd never used steel studding before nor had I used the Remington nailer. They both worked like a charm! I switched to DeWalt tools with almost all tools, starting when DeWalt brought out their 4 1/2-inch handheld grinders. I think they were a new brand then. I still have the grinders, still working! Yes, I added more DeWalt grinders to those for faster usage of whatever is needed but the original grinders are tops for endurance. Purchased in the early 1990s. Amazing, there's been almost no maintenance done, always used in a commercial art foundry. Boss!

[@noobgamer-qb3gq]

The best concrete nailers are Hilti and Spit, these run with gas and battery.

[@robbievargas8479]

Perfect embedment ? It was sticking half of an inch out 😂

[@ricco3]

I was wondering the same thing...You gotta hit each one after to get it flush?

[@roymulinix]

INCREDIBLE DEVICE! NO MORE GUNPOWDER!

[@andreylesyuk5912]

I wouldve liked to see you try n use longer nails to try and get a 2x4 in the concrete and i think i read that nailer shoots 2 1/4 max? Idk if 3/4 into the concrete is enough with that especially if they stick out the top a little bit. I usually use at least 2 1/2 tapcons wich takes forever. Cool gun though very interesting

[@gillion2700]

2 1/2 maybe 3 inch would be a perfect gun for the 2x4

[@2009cnice]

i got this 2 days ago. I have used it to roughly run 300 pieces of hat channel and around 5000 ft of track. Decent tool beats the ram set and paslode any day of the week

[@antoniosoberomarquez3386]

can u fit another brands of pins??

[@keithjohnson1930]

Just got crete nailer. Awesome tools. Forget shot n pins!!! Doing 2000 lin ft of 16 ga framing. Its a dream!

[@dewaltpropicture9909]

Hilti been had Solution for that in past 30 years. And best pin nailer is Hilti GX120 or GX3 along with DX460 and DX351 for super dutty application.I own all 4 of these Hilti Nailers. Hilti All day,Every day 👊👊🤙🤙

[@benjaminsaturday8300]

Hilti 1,000 nails $190.00 Dewalt 1,000 nails $90.00 Hilti is a great product, but when youve got a couple thousand L/F of wall it adds up. Also, Hilti just decided to quit making gas for the 100 which pisses me off. Looking at $15,000.00 worth of unusable tools sucks.

[@hamedizzy5137]

Nothing beats the BX3

[@abialex]

The price DOES!!! FK FACE~~!

[@jlj115]

dudes the phill swift of Dewalt over here. awesome man

[@jimboneutron8399]

We use the hilti fast track and we get 1200 shots per gas tank andbit doesn’t use battery. I love it but this looks pretty dope too

[@chrisinjax1648]

Great demo, as usual, Vince!! Would like to see a follow up video of how the Dewalt pinner works on steel to steel. Can't wait!!

[@VCGConstruction]

Will do

[@leosanders3784]

Not sure about this one yet not enough people HAVEN'T used it.was very quiet.did sink pin all the way in floor. I'm use too ram set guns! Wonder how heavy it was too use.price was high for me ran us cheap in electric field put a lot of 1/2 3/4 1 strap in concrete !looks like they fixed the blow out of the concrete that happens.I too see one in action for my self.I would think about buying one if price came down!

[@davidellis3326]

If I would want nail in a 2x4 would it work for that? If 2x4 is flat you said it does 2 1/4 max . That would be what 1/2 into concrete?

[@endliberalism4305]

Dude you are a character bro, I like you man - keep up the vids

[@smoothdesire9203]

Rock on DeWalt .....I have all Dewalt its an awesome platform ...Carpenter from Australia

[@toolhunter8812]

Looks like a strong tool that will last a while who knows how long the fans will last but should be "Guaranteed Tough"

[@superiorbeing95]

Fans? Do you mean flywheels?

[@tensazero]

@@superiorbeing95 I think he's chaining off what Vince said, calling the flywheel a "fan"

[@bobfinnecy4231]

Off subject, but I received my first VCG T-shirt yesterday...embroidered logo...very classy. Way to bring it VCG!

[@VCGConstruction]

Nice Bob, thanks!! 👍🏻

[@golpaexplains2191]

Nothing beats the powder actuated nailer

[@getriebesand2195]

Hilti has one too. Called the BX3. Insanely powerful nail gun. But you gonna pay a good amount of money for it.

[@verlicht]

Test the HILTI. Just ordered one and I'm very excited about it.

[@saber7even371]

Can you do a review on how this have been doing since the date of this video?

[@dracowing14]

the one i keep going to for these applications is the hilti bx2 and 3, they are alot quieter and they don't seem to get the same blowout that we usually get with the gas versions.

[@loucifer323]

Yellow and Black looks good in those machined hands

[@VCGConstruction]

You know it Lou!

[@TheNottonight]

So Vincenzo is that going in your truck? You did say that you only carry one color/brand. You know I am a big Dewalt fan and it would fit nicely next to all of the other black and yellow in my truck.

[@VCGConstruction]

🤣 I’m gonna keep this one Renato, thanks!

[@demiktricklynch4300]

Will Craftsman be introducing the same product?

[@Re4Biohazard]

What size of pins do you use for this guy?!

[@sad8181]

At work on lunch right now, just finished a 20x40 room shooting track down. I use the Hilti BX-3, curious as to how DeWalt would compare.

[@JwildM]

It sucks ass stay with hilti

[@rileyblue2143]

It looks like a pretty good tool but how versatile is it trying to fit it into small places in holding it above your head for so long

[@estebanoures1]

When is the Milwaukee M18 21degree Framing Nailer coming out!!?

[@estoylisto]

would you try it with XR 8Ah battery and see if it will be better... The XR 7 1/4 circular saw perform the best with that battery (way better than the Flexvolt 9Ah or the XR 5Ah)...

[@ivanportojr]

Impressive! Someone knows if there's a model specific for finish trim work! Wood wood... smaller than this and nailing sizes of 2... 1.5 and 1 inch!?

[@alphagrillin268]

Love your videos bro keep it up !!!!

[@amadine770]

Until now - i did not know DeWalt had a non-gas nailer and if it works better than the gas or powder types then the better.Best review yet.

[@hairynose656]

i didn't know dewalt made one of those...for now ill stick with hilti gas+battery (the battery last weeks and you can always check before using it in the morning at what level you are if gas or battery are low u can bring a spare with you or switch the battery), i like how the pins don't stick out its much faster to stand the studs after when no pins hook on the studs!

[@jessecarrasco4276]

Off topic but is there a reason you don't tie your corners together on the tracks?

[@mikejd35d23]

My Ramset batt lasts for more than 500 shots. I mean, what more do you need?

[@handiworksgc]

Would it work on Carpet tack strips in old concrete?

[@everydaywitkaycee]

My Man VCG ----- I love the way you present your videos . You take charge of the show !!!!! I see myself talking like that to my guys on site and some passing by onlookers....... " Come over here , let me show you how this works " My favorite line lol

[@coryhall4457]

First time I seen that one I've always use my Hilti bx-3 it's loud I can't even hear myself think after using it

[@calebedwards4484]

You can definitely he has to tell people how to do things the right way on the job alot 🤣🤣

[@normalperson5425]

will this attach say 3/4 thick wood to cinder blocks ? thanks.

[@josephmalinowski6817]

That's is sweet I like the no gas part it's like the new nail guns no air hose and compressor to deal with and the noise is even better used to have the gun news the different color shots put each Dale in individually one of the time and then press down where you want to shoot and what did everybody do look away and pull the trigger this way so much safer you look at what you're shooting and very quiet

[@danvendeta2916]

I use ridgids version, never had a jam with it , and i run a flooring company

[@mickey-qu7tk]

Good music to keep ppl alert

[@swampdonkey4882]

What do you use when fastening down 2x4’s

[@thabrooklynfellah]

Any news of its performance so far?

[@chipshot442]

Nice gun Vince, I still use an old Hilti 27 caliber 10 shot concrete gun. The worst part about that gun is the pressure it puts on your wrist every time you shoot it. The new Dewalt gun looked like it didn't hurt every time you shot it. Thanks for the Video brother.

[@VCGConstruction]

yes and yes sir

[@maxgrafe9158]

Nice Video but wich Modell is it??

[@Relaxitsonlyacomment]

Ive been hanging duct for 5 years now and never seen the stud guys use cocking 🤔.. either I never noticed or they’ve been doing it wrong?

[@josepina3154]

Would it take the hilti nails?

[@vertigo72480_official]

Looks like it's more productive than powder actuated. My powder actuated driver just kicks my wrist. It was painful to frame my basement with it. Nice tool from Dewalt.

[@burn1down249]

Michael Arnold you need gas actuated, I have a global fastening systems concrete nailer and it has copped a caning on a regular basis putting down smooth edge

[@benjaminbell6043]

@VCG Construction what's your favorite/default company for cordless power tools?

[@bddpes692]

Either one you buy they will brake n jamb...but which one will last longer

[@johnfindlay8869]

Does it come with a magnetic tip like track fast

[@tonydelgrego2906]

Nice design with the back extension which keeps it level.

[@brentgraves1151]

Its nice for sure.hilti tho is what the real pros use

[@imhoteproberts8293]

Not seeing it in Amazon..send a link please

[@harleywood72]

Vince after opening box "here's the instruction manual, you're going to want to read this fully......." Chucks it in the corner ( like me) , plays with new toy.

[@VCGConstruction]

🤣🤣

[@Holiday48000]

I been using a Ram-Set for years. It is cheap and easy to use... But this seems so much faster, so I guess it is time to upgrade.

[@themeat5053]

Thanks for not screaming, "what's up" in this video.

[@DoctorDrywallLatinoAmerica]

Great tools!Its just living in South America, having special nails, just complicates everything cause you can't find them here

[@nickfehrenbach382]

Beast mode 💪

[@Amputee4life628]

Has Milwaukee come up with a concrete pinner yet?

[@madd.506]

Hilti is making one (bx3) from years :D Im waiting for one from Milwaukee :D

[@edwardwhite8476]

Did u see they have a roofing nailer also

[@TheDadx3]

With the Paslode, you just have a second battery charging... exactly as you would the DeWalt. Running out of gas? It takes three seconds to change the cartridge with way better consistency than the DeWalt. The DeWalt's performance isn't quite where it needs to be, yet. Trackmaster is the standard for the time being.

[@duanesummers8760]

Does it shoot ceiling grid clips

[@mattg4294]

Really liking these tool review videos on a job. Thanks for good content

[@AA-ye7dn]

Possible link to buy this product

[@MrBmill25]

I attach a lot of metal lath to poured concrete walls in order to lay stone veneer. Would this be a good solution instead of drilling tapcons all day?

[@ChrisGilliamOffGrid]

Have you tried drive pin anchors?

[@Edgardocelectric007]

I like it but...... getting back to Dewalt platform again, not sure I want to go that route happy with Milwaukee 👍👍👍👍

[@wildhorses5303]

An ould sds drill and a screw would howl rightly would it not

[@reginaldgoins3411]

Can tool be used as a framing nailer also

[@briancaputo2118]

Hey Vince, Can these be used to nail furring strips into brick/fieldstone? For a basement remodel

[@VCGConstruction]

I’d rather use these for hat track (metal fitting strips)

[@varenac7841]

would you have concrete nailer between hilti bx3 and dewalt dcn890

[@radbrud]

I would like to see how it works with steel. I have one and it has problems with brick wall. Too weak for me.

[@owen12345able]

where online can i get the fasteners to purchase?

[@Lynxrt1]

How did your project come out ?

[@leocaloca4380]

this tool is nice but in Metal stud framing we use hilti gun gx3 gas and for steel dx 351 hilti

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Like that the magazine comes off

[@SMISURKA]

Must have! Love my Dewalt Framing nailer and Dewalt Brad nailer.

[@chipshot442]

Does it have longer nails and can you shoot through a 2 x 4??

[@ChrisGilliamOffGrid]

You might prefer the Freeman air powered one. Single shot, can handle longer nails.

[@randybobandy9828]

I think he said it can do up to 2.5in nails.

[@dylangaringer5744]

Hey Vince, loved the video! I love seeing you on site testing the tools. Keep up the great work!

[@mjc8761]

Great demo it’s very quiet! Think it’s great 👍

[@VCGConstruction]

❤️

[@corsakias]

what is the purpose of using silikone under the metal frame on floor?

[@VCGConstruction]

It’s not silocaone

[@Bladepablo]

Can you use any ccn pins or they have to be dewalt branded?

[@trevorsaunders1420]

I appreciate the video! I do contracting in Arvada so I’m glad someone local is using it haha

[@gearhead4013]

Yeah, I have to have one of those. I’m wondering how it would do putting down tack strip for carpet.

[@VCGConstruction]

You’re putting down tack strip into concrete correct?

[@gearhead4013]

VCG Construction yes. Just not sure if this will shoot through it.

[@porilster]

Alot of those nails did not drive properly and were kinda proud. That for was well cured but overall I think the gas powered gun was better as all the nails looked like they were fully driven. I'm completely committed to dewalt so I'm not happy to dish it. Still looks like a nice gun.
