We’re big fans of products that come packaged with everything you need to get started, right out of the box, so of course, we were pleased to see DeWalt combining this great little compressor with a nice 18-gauge nailer and air hose.
The compressor gives your great power with incredibly low noise (about 70 decibels as opposed to most oil-free models, which hover around 90 decibels and above), oil-free (thus worry-free) maintenance and a low amp draw of 2.6 that should keep your breaker box happy. The gauges are all up-front, where we like them, and the unit itself is really light and comfortable to tote. It’s just a one-gallon tank, so you’ll be cycling, but for the kind of jobs this is made for, that shouldn’t be a problem. Finally, we always prefer a ball valve like this one on the tank drain over a petcock, and our knuckles agree.
Light as a feather and mean as a junkyard dog, DeWALT’s 18-gauge brad nailer is a heck of a tool. We like the fit and feel of it, and DeWALT wins points from us for putting low-nail indicators on the side and the top of the magazine. The sliding depth adjustment is fantastic: just unlock it with your index finger, slide the adjustment with your other hand, and you’re ready to fire. Like DeWALT’s other nail guns, this model has a nice plus in the 360-degree swivel exhaust cap that directs the flow away from you. Great pad, too–it didn’t mar anything to which we introduced it. You can’t beat this combo.–Kris Jensen-Van Heste
