Description:

Harness the power and efficiency of pneumatic nailing with the DeWalt DC616K Heavy-Duty 16 Gauge Straight Finish Nailer Kit. Designed to work with DeWalt's extended run XRP 18-volt batteries, this nailer provides fast, consistent nail penetration in both soft and hard materials. You can select sequential operating mode to ensure precision placement of each nail or a bump operating mode that allows you to harness top speed. A unique engine design allows this tool to work as fast as you do, firing up to four or five nails a second for increased productivity. And at just 8.5 pounds, this tool is lightweight for easy maneuvering and reduced operator fatigue. PWhatever you're working on, you'll appreciate the little details that separate this intuitively designed tool from similar nailers. Integrated LED lights make it easy to ensure accuracy. An easy-to-operate contract trip lock-off disables the trigger when the tool is not in use for improved safety. The nosepiece is easy to access and clear tool-free if a nail jam occurs. And a six-position dial makes it simple to move between several applications without stopping to re-acquire exact depth settings, saving you time. Additionally, the straight, rear-load magazine is easy to handle for quick refills, and it will accept any standard 16 gauge nails. Included in this kit is a one-hour charger, an 18-volt XRP battery, a reversible belt hook that accommodates right- and left-handed workers, a no-mar tip, safety glasses, and a kit box for easy storage. This DeWalt high-performance industrial tool is backed by a 3-year limited warranty.

You can't ask for more. The gun fires fast, no hessitation at all, the rapid fire mode makes quick work of quick work. The optional nail sizes means you will have the right nail for any job. And it fires 100+ on one battery. The work light even uses flashes to tell you when the battery is low, or a nail is jambed. This one is worth the money, I love it.

Just about as good as it gets people

I am an "advanced" amateur, basically building my last three houses (along with lots of other stuff). This thing is probably my most favorite tool, and very versatile for framing and trim work. The straight galvanized nails are quite cheap and easy to find, with every brand I have tried working just fine. The available lengths cover a wide variety of applications. Will probably shoot 500 or more nails on a single charge. Easy depth adjustment and sinks the longest nails easily into tough pressure treated wood. Have not had any problems getting into tight places (supposedly the angled version would be better for tight spots, but I have never needed it, and I use this thing a lot). Solid construction, I don't baby this thing (of course I don't abuse it either). Hangs from its belt loop well.

br /You might want to consider the angled version (which seems to be cheaper than this one is right now), but I have never felt the need for it and the angled nails are quite a bit more expensive. I have no problems with the weight of this tool and I am only 150 pounds (below average size). Rarely get jams, and they are easily and quickly cleared with no tools. Quick and easy to use, works well, reliable, nails are economical to use, no air hoses to drag around, no compressor to listen to. Not much to criticize, but I guess Dewalt could lower their price some, but this is a very, very good tool. And finish nails can be used in a lot more places than I originally would of thought.
