The DEWALT DC608B Cordless Brad Nailer combines the precision of hand nailing with the speed and ease of pneumatic nailing. With this one compact, portable tool, you can drive brads ranging in length from 5/8 to 2 -inch as rapidly as five brads per second. And best of all: no compressor to buy and no air hose to drag around. The 7.4-lb. tool is powered by a rechargeable 18-volt battery and shoots readily available 18-gauge brads. Its straight, box-style magazine holds 110 brads, and is specially designed to seal out dust and debris that can cause misfires. The DC608B can shoot nails through softwood, hardwood, and plywood and other sheet goods. It’s the perfect tool for trim carpenters, cabinetmakers, and others who routinely install baseboard, shoe, crown and chair rail moldings, paneling, and window and door casings and jambs. The tool’s narrow, tapered nose fits into tight spaces, such as under toekicks and inside of cabinets and drawers. Choose between two operating modes: Sequential for one-at-a-time nailing, or high-speed Bump firing for rapid production work. Other features include: precise depth-control mechanism, swing-open nosepiece for clearing jams, a reversible belt hook, safety contact lock-off that disables the trigger. The DC608B 18-Volt 18-Gauge Brad Nailer Kit comes with a belt hook, safety glasses, and plastic storage case. Battery and charger are sold separately. It’s backed by DEWALT’s 90-day money-back guarantee, and three-year limited warranty.

I already had two 18v batteries so I didn't need the whole kit, so this worked out perfectly. I bought the brads from the local hardware so I could inspect them - I'm buying this to make my life easier and collecting a bunch of brads that came apart in shipping is not my idea of easier.This thing... man I'm kicking myself for not buying it sooner. I had it in my head that this was just a novelty/nice to have item but I can do fine without it for the cost. Was I wrong. I can't express how much easier and faster this is, and leaves a much smaller hole. I've used it on trim (baseboard, casing, etc.) and even to face nail some HARD, thick flooring that I had to replace. Punches through with no problem and you don't have to worry about having room to swing a hammer, or use a countersink, splitting, etc. Hold it up, POP, done.• Adjustable force• Lights area when nose is pressed• Nose has protective rubber piece so as not to mar surface• As stated, nose piece easily pops apart to fix jams• Decent balance to it once battery is on• Easy to load/unload brads• Basically what I've come to expect from DeWALTI haven't tried the sequential firing setting yet so I can't comment on it. What I can say is hold on to this thing, otherwise the brads won't sink properly. In fact, if the nailing surface or the nail gun are not secure when firing the nail won't penetrate properly (may be less of an issue with soft wood). Do some testing before hand to get a good feel for it and to get the depth set right, especially if you're doing something like flooring where you really want it right the first shot. I assume this is the same for any brad nailer, but this is my first so just throwin' it out there for anyone else in the same situation.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.Awesome toolBy Michael S. StepienJust received my 18V-18 Gauge brad nailer and fired some test nails. What a tool! I've been using the 16 gauge finish nailer for a number of years and love it, too. When I first used the 16 Gauge gun, I called DeWalt to see if they planned an 18 gauge brad nailer and was told it was not in their plans, so I went with the Paslode gas fired gun. The Paslode isn't a bad gun, but over the years I've had it repaired a number of times, and it's rather finicky about firing every time. It seems like it never fires the first time when you are in an awkward position holding precision pieces just so. The other issue with the Paslode is keeping fresh gas. They tell you to store in a cool place, which is impossible when your tools go with you everywhere and are continuously baked in the Florida sun.This DeWalt brad nailer has none of those issues. It's a great tool, makes very little noise, and sets nails perfectly according to the variable depth dial. If you do finish carpentry for a living, don't leave home without it. At first look, it will seem rather large, but I can get it in any place that I used to get with my Paslode, or my old Bostitch air gun.I use the whole line of 18V DeWalt tools (circular saw, jig saw, vacuum, impact driver, hammer drill, cutoff tool, 16G finish nailer)every day, so I invested in the Lithium Ion batteries. The Lithiums are far superior to the XRP batteries in charge time, operating time and longevity, so while I'm offering opinions, I highly recommend them as well.See all 2 customer reviews...
