Hi all, Wendy here again. Today we’re going to be talking about Dewalt nail guns and you’re in for a real treat.
We love Dewalt nail guns because, no matter what industry you’re in, they have a gun that’s going to make your life easier. They are also some of the most used in the industry and are trusted by professionals worldwide. We’re going to cover everything from the standard 1st fix and 2nd fix and then move onto the specialist nail guns. This is where it starts to get fun as I bet Dewalt has nail guns and staplers you didn’t even know existed.
Dewalt 1st Fix Nail Guns
1st Fix nail guns are sometimes referred to as framing nailers. The way I always describe it is that this is the gun you need for everything construction based. Frame constructions, roofing battens and flooring.
A first fix gun will generally leave dents in the wood but it doesn’t matter. It’s not about making it look pretty, just getting it together. Dewalt does both straight and angled finishing nailers and both will get the job done. The only real advantage of an angled gun is it’s ability to fit into smaller spaces. They also make an air version which is great if you have a compressor but it does limit how mobile you are on site.
Dewalt currently makes one 1st fix nail gun, but why mess with perfect!
The Dewalt DCN692N 18V Brushless First Fix Framing Nail Gun has full brushless technology and will fire a 90mm ring shank nail into hard wood like a hot knife into butter.
The distinctive angled magazine is designed for working in tight, cramped, overhead & hard to reach places, the DCN692 is ideal for timber frame erection, roof battening, stud work, shuttering, panelling, roof decking, cladding and a host of other applications.
The gun runs off your standard 18V batteries so there are no gas cartridges or air hoses to worry about. Just charge your battery and you are all good to go..
The nail gun is available as a body only or in a kit with 2 x 5.0Ah batteries over at ITS.co.uk.
Dewalt 2nd Fix Nail Guns
2nd Fix nail guns or finishing nailers are designed to help complete your delicate work, architraves, skirting boards and stair cases. The guns are generally compact & lightweight and they are comfortable to use but durable enough for any worksite environment.
Like the 1st fix, they all run on 18V batteries which offer low running costs and consistent performance at low temperatures.
Dewalt manufactures 3 second fix nail guns all with brushless technology.
Dewalt DCN660N
The Dewalt DCN660N is a 16 gauge second fix nail gun and is much lighter than previous machines. The brushless motor reduces the servicing costs and gives you greater power and better runtime. This gun has a bump feed function which means it can fire up to 4 nails every second and has the ability to fire 63mm nails into soft wood and 50mm into hard wood.
It’s designed to avoid any stalls or jams, but if one were to happen there are 2 easy ways to clear them in seconds.. both without the need for additional tools.
Dewalt DCN680N
The Dewalt DCN680N accepts 18 gauge nails with a 110 nail capacity and 15mm-54mm nail range.
It features a sequential mode that allows for precision placement and the bump operating mode provides production speed of up to 4 nails per second for excellent nailing performance.
The depth of drive can be easily adjusted using the thumb wheel depth adjuster.
Tool free stall/jam clearance minimises down time. Trigger and contact trip lock-off prevent accidental discharge.
Dewalt DCN662N
Tackle jobs both large and small with the features of a pneumatic tool and the freedom of cordless. The mechanical firing system rather than using gas or a compressor offers a lower running cost and consistency at lower temperatures.
There is a mode that allows for the precision placement and a bump operating mode that produces up to 4 nails per second. The depth of drive is easily adjusted by a thumb wheel. For your safety, and for safety on site, there is a trigger and contact lock off which assists in preventing accidents such as unintentional discharge of the fastener.
All the Dewalt finishing nailers we stock here at ITS are fully brushless which mean a more energy efficient motor and batteries will run up to 50% longer.
