Editorial Reviews:

Backed by 900 in./lbs. of driving power, the DeWalt D51844 Framing Nailer is ready to sink 2-inch to 3-1/2-inch long round head nails deep into even the toughest engineered lumber. A sequential action trigger and the ability to hold up to 65 nails at a time ensure fast performance for improved job site efficiency. And with a lightweight magnesium housing, an aluminum magazine, and a unique design that minimizes recoil while maximizing power, you can count on this tool to rest comfortably in your hands and to protect your body as it gets the job done. Quick and easy drive setting is right at you finger tips with tool-free adjustment, making it easy to ensure that nails are set flush, even when you're switching between projects, and a trigger lock-off lets you ensure that the trigger is disabled when the nailer is not in use for added safety. You can even count on this tool to protect itself: a dry fire lockout feature ensures maximum bumper life by preventing the nailer from operating whenever the magazine is empty, and a durable impact-resistant exhaust deflector prevents cap damage, ensuring better performance in the long run. This DeWalt High Performance Industrial Tool is backed by a 3-year limited warranty.

User Comments about the DEWALT D51844 Round Head 2-Inch to 3-1/2-Inch Framing Nailer

Either above surface or punches too deep. Nails double feed. Several carpenters have used this on jobsite, all encountered frequent jams. Half hour with needle nose, screwdriver, old sawzall blade, to clear. I would spend the extra and get gun with tool free clearance mechanism.Keep your hammer handy if you buy this model. Good framing tool but depth adjust not fine enough for decking over PT.

It is cheaper, lighter, stronger, and more efficent than the others I have used. I have been framing for seven years. I have used the Paslode nailer, the Stanley/Bostich nailer and the Hitachi nailer. The only thing that sucks about it is that it doesn't have a sky hook but that can be easily over come by bying one seperatly and welding it on the magazine. The De Walt nailer is the best one I have ever used.

The gun has jammed a couple of times, but all I had to do was "rack the action" and if fired just fine. I have been using this gun for several days framing up some walls. When I used to work construction the guns we had "bostich" were always jamming, and missfiring. I dont know why this gun got so many poor reviews. I am a novice, I am bulding a 1700 sq ft addition. I did notice that it will stop firing if there is only about 2 nails left in the magazine. I am really pleased with this gun. I just make sure that I refill it when I notice it getting low.

I use it on a regular basis and feel I have got my dollars worth. No leaks at all. The depth adjustment is the simple Dewalt nailer trick. The only negative was when I used ring shank nails. If the nail your using is not sinking the way you want it to then use the simple tool free adjustment.

Thanks for letting me share. It's great that Bostitch is now offering a 7 year limited warranty on there nailer's but I can't see paying double when this Dewalt gets the job done. My name is Scott and I am a tool addict. It seems that Dewalt has made some improvements internally to this gun. I did have to fiddle with the dept adjustment a few times prior to getting it right. Heck and I was in the mood to rip into something today. Addition February 2007: Still running strong. In my experience Dewalt customer service will get back to you within 24 hours unless you email early and then you may just get a reply the same day depending on the matter.

It feels good in the hand and I have NEVER had a Jam. This is a very good gun for the price range. Still running strong. I may just make a special request at the Dewalt web site to see what if any changes they have made since these other older reviews.

The only draw back I have experienced is that it jambs more frequently than the older Hitachis (I have not used one of the newer ones yet). I have used this gun for almost two years. Has worked good for me so far. For the money this is a good nail gun, but when I replace it I will buy a Hitachi. It nails off shear panel as fast as I can go, and has good grips on the nose for toe nailing.
