Hello,
I am after some advise for the best way forward for nailing feather edge boards (mostly), I have been reading a lot of info regarding the dewalt gasless nail guns, but these seem to have driver issues? The other options are paslode gas nail guns but this can be costly or the last option being a compressor and coil nailer.
I like the idea of the dewalt option as the maintenance cost is reduced vs the paslode, however I have read a few reviews that the drivers seem to go quite quickly, not sure if this is on early version? does anyone have a latest dewalt gasless nailer that could give some feedback on?
The other option is a compressor & coil nailer, however the down side to this is portability and using customers electricity, which is not to much of an issue assuming that they are present when doing the works.
what do you guy's and girls use?
Thanks
Daniel

Thanks Gary :)
I bought the dcn692 about this time last year and has been great, 4ah batteries don't need charging very often, rare that I go on to a second battery during a job.
Has been back to the workshop twice though for 2 different issues related to not firing. Chap in he shop said they get very few of them back though. First Time it was in they ordered the part for the old model so took about 10 days to repair so ended up buying another bare unit for about £260 as couldn't do without it. Have found it very handy having 2 when putting rails on though!
Only used 50 + 90mm galvanised ring shanks in it, does jam regularly with 90mm bit takes mostly seconds to reset. 90mm do sometimes need the heads sinking at the end.
Overall great machine but a couple of issues, feel much happier now that I have a spare if anything goes wrong.. hope this helps!
Hi Joe,
Thanks for the feedback :)
your gun is about to die if you need to hit the 90mm heads in mate, very common fault on the dewalts it means the firing pin is about to fail and its not economical to fix
my dewalt fires them in without any hesitation but when it does start to go like that it will get sent back to dewalt right away and they just replace it will a full new unit, i'll sell it and go back to paslode
Then bought a dewalt brushless with 5ah batteries. It's the nuts!! Jam 10 times on 2/3000 nails. Little heavy but so nice. Used to hate the gas smell plus I have loads of batteries!
No issues for me with 90mm
Thanks for the replies, seems like the dewalt is a little lighter?
coil nailer and a 50 litre compressor all the way with a 40m long air hose. Initial outlay about the same but a lot lot cheaper to run and a lot lot quicker to use, no gas to buy, nails cheaper and very little maintenance. wouldn't entertain using my pasolde for it
