dano_uk Posted November 21, 2012 Report Posted November 21, 2012 I like the look of this beauty but is it going to sway me away from the paslode? What's the weight compared to paslode, can we use the same nails, how many nails per charge, price, will it be in a tough case? I don't like the dewalt finish nailer just couldn't get used to it compared to my paslode but I suppose its just what you get used to. http://toolguyd.com/this-is-what-dewalts-new-20v-cordless-brushless-framing-nailer-looks-like/ Quote
kjones Posted November 22, 2012 Report Posted November 22, 2012 I can't remember the nail count per charge, but it was more than adequate. Plus, no gas! This runs on battery only. Nothing else like it on the market. I got to play with a prototype unit, and it is freaking sweet! Quote
golden valley const. Posted November 25, 2012 Report Posted November 25, 2012 I've been waiting for this forever, I hate dealing with gas cartridges, misfires, another battery system, etc. The speed isn't even that important, but if it's a flywheel type, that would be pretty cool. Ability to bump out a few at a time. Personally I'd prefer non-flywheel type though, just a spring recharge of some sort between shots. I only used my cordless nailer for odds and ends, can never replace pneumatic when you're shooting 5,000 a day per gun. Quote
warcor3 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Posted December 5, 2012 From what I've heard it's going to be 9 lbs, will only drive about 800 nails per charge, and cost $549! The trim tool was too slow and heavy for me, so this will be even worse in my framing. Even though gas is a pain, I'll stick with the power/weight Paslode gives me. Plus, you can buy a lot of gas cartridges for the extra $150! Quote
Idomin07 Posted December 7, 2012 Report Posted December 7, 2012 A 20v Pin nailer would be sweet too...... Quote
Mr. Yellow Posted December 15, 2012 Report Posted December 15, 2012 Check this out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxOC07lrHL4 Quote
dano_uk Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Posted December 15, 2012 Mr yellow you beat me to it I was just about to upload these vids! I'm gonna grab me one of these in January, I like the fact it will fit Inbetween 400 centres that is a nice little touch. Quote
Mr. Yellow Posted December 15, 2012 Report Posted December 15, 2012 From what I've seen and heard I like it, but have to try it to decide if I will buy one. We are longtime users of the Max CN565S coilnailers. These are one step below the regular 90mm framing nailers in terms of nail lengths. Which for our use are too much. Especially for ceilings and stuff the CN565S is perfect because it's very lightweight. I've tried a Paslode gas nailer once, but returned it after one day. Too heavy and too bulky and no bump fire mode. I hope/wish they would make a 32-65mm cordless coilnailer. That would seriously rock! Quote
dano_uk Posted December 16, 2012 Author Report Posted December 16, 2012 I hope there is going to be a 16g brad nailer to match this also. Quote
quig1984 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Posted December 17, 2012 This thing is pretty cool, I never thought I'd see a framing nailer with just a battery...I'm sure marketers are smarter then me but not sure why a brad mailer couldn't be released at the same time? I guess if you stay with the 18v line this will make you want to switch over Quote
framer Posted December 18, 2012 Report Posted December 18, 2012 wow. i'd love to give it a try. Quote
golden valley const. Posted December 18, 2012 Report Posted December 18, 2012 I've been wanting this for a long time! Every time I took my cordless up on a roof setting trusses it would quit for some reason or another. Delay boom truck at $200 an hour, etc. This also seems faster than a passlode, though still slow for sheathing. Quote
Mr. Yellow Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 Does this nailer have a low nail lockout feature to prevent dry firing? Couldn't find this info anywhere yet. Quote
max8713 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Posted February 12, 2013 i want one seriously, for the work my godd ! when is it going to be in canada ?? Quote
brhokel606 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 I can't wait til this is out, I have the 15 and 16 guage cordless nailers now and love them. They are a bit heavier than the paslode, which I have, but I hate the fuel cells! The temp can't be too cold or too hot cause they are very picky. I do wish the new nailer was 18 volt, i have all 18 and some 12v for the smaller jobs, really didn't want to buy 20volt batteries too. Any plans to also make 1 in the 18v line? Quote
rossi7x Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 This is (in my opinion) never gonna be made to fit the 'plug in' style 18v batteries... The power and efficiency of the New 18volt (Europe) 20v Max (U.S.) means that eventually all tools will be fazed out on the older platform, and re-designed on the New.. The older battery technology would not be able to deliver the performance for the New Nailer either.. Once you've tried the 20v Max system, you'll switch over (trust me)... The New Nailer totally rocks. I used it on a job-site in the UK 2 weeks ago, and the temp was minus 2.5.... The Paslode's (4 on site) would mis-fire due to the sustained minus degrees (and the guys were switching cells and warming up between uses) whereas the Dewalt rocked along.. The Paslodes could only manage 3-7 shots before mis-firing, whereas we rocked along with 500-600 shots with the Dewalt with no issues.... apart from needing to switch out batteries for a re-charge...

chippy1970 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 I've had one since October last year. Had it on test . At first when I heard it only used battery power I thought it can't be any good but I was wrong its an amazing bit of kit. Quote
Bikeboy80 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Posted February 23, 2013 Can you use it with the smaller AH 20v max batteries? Quote
rossi7x Posted February 23, 2013 Report Posted February 23, 2013 Can you use it with the smaller AH 20v max batteries? You can use it with whatever AH battery you want... All you got to remember is that the battery is the 'size of the tank'.. If you put a 3.0ah battery on it you'll probably only get 450 nails per charge (90mm) rather than the 600 stated with the 4.0ah. I believe that there is no differences in shots depending on nail size either.. It produces the same impact force regardless of Nail size... Quote
Bikeboy80 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Posted February 23, 2013 That's what I figured...I have a number of 1.5 AH batteries and would trade off number of shots for some weight savings. Anything job that takes more then a few hundred nails I would pull out the compressor anyways. Thanks Quote
max8713 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Posted February 25, 2013 when is it going to be out in canada ?? i really want to know i will buy it now !!! does someone know ? Quote
dale1393434551 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 Should be out in next 60 days Quote
max8713 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Posted March 7, 2013 DOES ANYONE KNOW ABOUT THE PRICE IN CANADA?? PLEASE TELL ME I WANT ONE SO I CAN SAVE FOR IT Quote
brhokel606 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Posted March 24, 2013 I was at a tool show on Friday and was talking to the Dewalt Rep and she said at this nailer had some problems during testing and Eval. I was told that this nailer got pushed back til next year, any truth to this? Quote
