DEWALT ATOMIC Compact Series™ 20V MAX* Brushless Cordless 23 Ga. Pin Nailer (Tool Only) (DCN623B)

Product Information

The one negative think I noticed was the ferocious kickback it had - like a compressed air nailer running on too high a line pressure. OK, so the DCN692 has a 2-speed brushless motor which is designed to drive paper-collated plain and ring shank clipped/off-centre head first fixing nails between 51 and 90mm in length, 2. On both my DeWALT DCN660 16 GA finish nailer and my DeWALT DCN650 15 GA finish nailer these have a spring loaded nosepiece that must first be compressed into the workpiece before those nailers will fire.

just under 8lbs) it is a fairly heavy tool (although lighter than the first generation 16ga first fix gun I still use) and whilst I consider it to be reasonably well balanced in the hand, for that reason I have to admit it won't for everyone. The DW nails are fully compatible with Paslodes, etc and the DW in turn will happily use gas nailer nails as well. Gone is the scary trip into the innards of the tool to replace the drive pin if it shears off (and again, this happens to all nailers, of all types, from time to time in trade volume use).The more uses I found for a cordless pin nailer, the more I used it, and the more disappointed I became. Nailers usually use either compressed air or a rotating electric motor to deliver fast firing speeds and high precision. Complete finish, trim, and remodeling work with this ATOMIC™ Compact Series™ 20V MAX* Brushless Cordless 23 Ga. Initially I was very sceptical about this gun, even though DW is offering the gun with a 3 year warranty and with a 30-day money back guarantee. and the case is certainly smaller than the cases of either of those tools, a plus if space in the van is limited.

Just like on gas nailers these can weaken and break with age, especially if you've been nailing into hard brickwork for a long time.It's predecessors were a somewhat second-hand original stick-battery black Paslode Impulse (see below), an orange Paslode IM350/90 (my first new gun) and a Senco GT90CH.
