Dewalt Cordless Framing Nailer Review | DCN 692

Meet the framing nailer that built our garage apartment - the Dewalt DCN 692. We purchased this gun before starting our build because we didn't want to run a generator & air compressor all day. And man are we glad we did! This thing was a lifesaver!

I bought the Dewalt based on this review, and I’m not disappointed. It’s a brilliant bit of kit

I now own the type 13, just like the one you have and love it. Type 2 was trash. I also own the 21° and also like it.

This is great. I’m a remodeling contractor and I’m on the Milwaukee and Dewalt battery platforms but the Milwaukee is like a boat anchor just based on picking it up in the store.

Nice review! I've got the 21 degree version of this gun (DCN21PL), and I pretty much agree with everything you said. In regards to the Milwaukee, you might take a look at the Metabo HPT guns, specifically the 36v versions. I picked up the 21 degree Metabo HPT, it uses a compressed air cylinder rather than a spring or flywheel. On the 36v version, it can more or less keep up with a pneumatic. I've built a lot of fence with it so far, and done some interior framing. It's going to be my workhorse on my upcoming home build.

21 degree vs 30 degree? which is best option?

I enjoyed your review. I'm into the Dewalt system personally as I've got a few tools for work and I like them (Impact, Hammer Drill, Multitool...) but I've been looking at getting a nailer and I think Dewalt dropped the ball. The Milwaukee option seems superior in this particular area.
