No compressor. No hoses. No kidding. And no sacrifices in
speed or power, either. There's absolutely no comparison
between this performer and the fuel-cell powered
competition, which we thought was a great innovation. But
there's no costly fuel cell to replace on this tool—-just
pop on a recharged XRP battery and get back on the job. The
only difference you'll feel between this and a traditional
pneumatic is that you're not tethered to an air hose. It's
just as fast and fires just as powerfully into both soft and
hard joints. We love that you can choose bump or sequential
mode for precision or speed, something most nailers don't
offer, and the integrated headlight is another impressive
addition, really lighting up your workpiece even in the
worst conditions. There's a fantastic six-position numbered
dial to reference your depths, so you can move easily
between, for example, baseboard and crown molding without
struggling to reset the depth. DeWalt's covered what would
have been our main safety concern: An air tool can't fire
without a hose, but what's to keep this one from being
accidentally fired? They've built in a contact trip
lock-off. We were pleased with the troubleshooting process,
too—the nosepiece is clear and very accessible, letting you
clear a jammed fastener without screwdrivers or wrenches,
though we couldn't get it to jam for us. Rear loading is
simple and fast, and it accepts most brands of 16-gauge
nails. The 20-degree angle gives you a little more
maneuverability in tight spaces than the straight magazine,
but you can't go wrong with either one. It's built tough for
the job site, but the home hobbyist would love this tool.
Just hook it on your tool belt and go; it's truly one of the
coolest tools we've seen and the kit has everything you
need: a one-hour charger, two 18V XRP batteries, reversible
belt hook, no-mar tip, safety glasses and the heavy-duty kit
box. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste
