Cheap DEWALT D51823 Clipped Head 2-Inch to 3-1/2-Inch Framing Nailer with Magnesium Housing Review

Firstly, I must admit the old model of this Nailer DeWalt. I bought four years ago when they offered the $ 50. I am a Residential Remodeler and use this tool a fair amount, but not as much as someone who comes framed. This nailer has some features I really like. It has a tool free depth adjustment, a rafter hook (although I would feel more comfortable if it was metal rather than plastic), and I like that the magazine can be removed easily jams clear. This featurecome in handy on several occasions. The tool is lightweight and relatively short from the nose to the rear, which allows while trying to negotiate tighter spaces. The power is good but not knock your socks. It will sink a nail drives in a beam of LVL, but not much deeper. So far, it has been durable enough. There are some complaints I have about it. For some reason, it tends to stutter a bit. It does not get caught very often, it simply does not a nail on the fire about 5% of the plans. Also, when Ishooting 2 1 / 4 "sheething nails, paper strips tend to be" together "and cause occasional jams. It can get frustrating because when it comes to sheething you try to shoot as many as possible nails in a short amount of time. I do not know if DeWalt has a fixed these problems with this new model. I looked in the store, but have not tried it yet. They seem to have made some Decent upgrades well.
