The Dewalt 18 gauge cordless brad nailer is a great tool and is part of Dewalt's 20V max lineup.

I purchased this tool several months ago and have tested it on several projects, including baseboard installation, door trim replacement, shoe molding installation, carpet reducer installation, and even repairing an oak banister.

If you are wondering what the best cordless brad nailer is and who makes it, then this is a great place to start.

I cover all of the features of this cordless brad nailer, from battery life to rapid fire with the bump action feature.

I was surprised at how well this cordless brad nailer works.

However, that doesn't mean I recommend it to most people.

Thank you for passing on your experience and review. I just purchased the 16g model for work on my home. My first nail gun and needed to get up to speed with the variables of its functions. Thank you, Thank you.

I just bit the bullet and bought one, because it's so precise and accurate without any adjustments, the flywheel/pin drive sets the depth exactly where you want it in virtually any material from hardwood to paneling whether you hit a stud or not without adjustment. never had results as good with air operated ones.

I'm just getting started as a handyman and this was helpful. I went to your website as well to sign up for your guide. I've been holding off on buying a tool system because it's a bit of money, but I think buying a system around a good nailer is the right move.

10 months later. as a newb.. i still ordered the DeWalt nailer... idk its better but it still feels llike the most convenient and reliable nailer there is... I was so close to get the Craftsman one.. but naaa.. I went with the DeWalt (DCN680D1) I gladly share my opinion in couple days

As a carpenter, it's a super win for me and I just bought it after the cheaper but still good Ryobi I had was broken by my assistant. I've also had and consistently used an original 18v, 16g Dewalt Finish Nailer for over 10 years (ha! it just started malfunctioning...) so I'm partial to dewalt.

This is something that I'm looking into just because I'm looking at building an off grid cabin and don't want to have a generator for a compressor. I can recharge battery powered tools with solar/battery setup.

Great review. Been following you for years. Always have appreciated your articles and videos. Thank you

I just mine today and can’t wait to use it

9:20p: Task objective: remove and reinstall crown molding in my home. The pneumatic version of a 18g brad gun requires 70psi, so I’ve read. I already have an air compressor (won’t do 70psi) and didn’t want two compressors. Convenance: Already having other DeWalt power tools & batteries made buying this tool a no-brainer, as my current DW batteries can be used on the brad gun. Lastly, such a weapon in my DeWalt arsenal will def assist in any of my future tasks.

I'm a handyman I'm debating between this and another paslode. I've worked with others at a job site with these (not always Dewalt) but in general they are heavier they seem to do a good job the biggest advantage to me is no cartridges or maintenance, I am concerned about longevity compared to the paslode but some of these battery tools have come quite a way I have many in my arsenal so maybe it will be a non issue.

[williamwilson]

I shopped around and got a good used one for 180 plus tax and shipping, used it and wish i had bought it earlier!

hey bud, thanks for your videos. I've learned alot. your one of the best out there. only a matter of time before this channel is the next big thing, Cheers from Ottawa

Spending the extra dough was way worth not lugging around and waiting for the compressor.

[igorban]

Greinger has this tool on its website for $199 until 1/28/23. I had Home Depot price match cause greinger was out of stock

[michaelhernandez]

I already have an air compressor. However, I would definitely buy v this for household projects instead of lugging around the compressor. That's just me.

[GimpyCamper]

I just got this beast on clearance at Home Depot for $189, but I had a coupon, some store credit, and $50 of rewards perks so I actually only had to fork out about $90 I just couldn't say no at that rate...

[manny]

Not having to haul around the air compressor is a huge plus especially on small jobs

[GeeYo]

Currently on sale at Home Depot for tool only $250.. considering the small price different between one that uses a compressor. No brained IMO if you already have the dewalt batteries. Great review video!

[Gastly_Ghost]

I use the hell outta mine I’ve had it since 2019 I love it

[thomasgonzales]

I don’t read instructions. Lol. I was using it without a contact pad and the impact left dents in the wood baseboard. The two extra pads that I overlooked came in handy. Thank you for the thorough review!
