This tool also has a dry fire lockout, w/ a red lockout light, disabling the nailer until additional nails are loaded.

In the end I went for the DW because it is a tried and proven technology and there are just less moving parts to go wrong than the Milwaukee. at the time the makita was playing up something rotten which i since discovered was that damn champion gas. The controls, with the exception of the speed control hidden away below the rafter hook, fall easily to hand and the tool is short enough to be able to get into most spaces, such as between 400mm centres joists.

I suggest adjusting the depth of the nail on a scrap piece to make sure you are happy with the depth adjustment.Fortunately, having had DW's 2nd fix cordless guns for many years I found it easy to adapt to the tool. because they are short-lived and flaky (or at least Paslode, BeA and Bostitch ones seemed to be in the past). 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. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. We've also got an older Axminster (air) 23ga nailer which has been great, but the last guy I know who bought one said the nail clip flew open everytime he shot a pin!

I've used it to drive ⅝", ¾", and 1⅜" pins into maple, oak, and yellow pine and it has performed perfectly. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. The tool will really and truly bump fire, even 90mm nails (despite DW advising otherwise) but getting it to properly sink nail heads may take a little practice – it operates in a different way to gas nailers and that can take some adjustment on the part of the operator.Speed Setting 1 is optimized for driving shorter nails (51 to 70mm long), while Speed Setting 2 is for 71 to 90mm nails. To clear a jam the user takes the pusher pressure off the nail clip in the magazine, unscrews the magazine at the nose end then pivots the entire magazine out of the way.
