AJB Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Has anyone heard or seen anything in the pipeline from dewalt. Can't believe they've already brought out a second version of the 1st fix framing nailer and still no sign of the finish nail gun... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Nothing so far has been announced, but I have to imagine that they are working on one right now. I know plenty of guys like Javier still running the old 18v stem pack batteries just because of the lack of a finish nailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regopit Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Today I had the chance to meet with two guys the are designers for DeWalt and the one had worked on the team for the Framing nailer. I asked him if they where coming out with a new finisher and, all he would tell me that they are working on other types of nailer's and that's all that could say. We did talk about how hard the US market is on their tools compared to the European market. They treat their tools with great care clean them off at the end of the day and put them away in a case as to here most guys just throw them down never clean them off and basically abuse their tools. Warranty work in the European market in minimal, compared to here it is huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I think we really did move into mentality that power tools are a disposable commodity in the USA. I know I treat my tools with care. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Yellow Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Latest news is, and I quote DeWALT UK from Facebook; "not untill 2015".They really keep us waiting... I know they are working on different type of nailers, besides finish nailers, but I do not now all the details nor can I share them.I do hope they will eventually come out with a siding coil nailer.

AJB Posted May 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Can't believe it's taken them 3 years to release a finish nailer. I'm glad I picked up some more stem batteries when I was last in the states. But I would drop my old dc618 for a new xr lithium nailer.Just a shame they don't show previews of up and coming tools till their out in the stores Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really can not gauge a real time on what you see in print. When talking to these guys I brought this up and they told me that they could be ready to release something in a few weeks and they will put something in social media just to keep the competition guessing. According to them if you name a competitor and a tool you can find it in their R&D department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I wish Milwaukee would give Dewalt some more competition on the carpentry tools. They have areas where they don't have similar tools like Dewalt like a cordless framing nailer, or table saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Before I became enamored with the idea of an M12 rivet gun, I was on a Milwaukee table saw kick. TTI makes them for others, so a red one doesn't feel like too much of a stretch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to them if you name a competitor and a tool you can find it in their R&D department. You are right. I kinda wondered why they would say that as previously they would either ignore any question about when the finish nailers are coming or they would say something along the lines "we don't have any info" or "nothing planned yet".Still, it's taking too long. I bet they are finetuning things by now. Though I could see it/them not being released untill 2015 as Europe is behind on some US stuff. DCN692, which looks like they wait to release with 5.0Ah batteries, the cordless VACs, DWS782, greasegun.They already have quite the new tools this year, but perhaps Q4?! Time will tell (or an insider) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJB Posted May 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Someone must know something as I've had two emails in as many days from tool distributors advertising large discounts on the dc618 finish nailers. Bit of a coincidence Can't understand holding back on promoting a new tool before it's release, as some people would hold out instead of buying what's available possibly from the competition. By the way what's Q4 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSionnach Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Q4 is the last quarter of the year, so Oct-Dec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJB Posted August 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 It's been a few months since I posted this topic, just wondering If there was any update on a release date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Sorry AJB we haven't heard anything from rumored or not from Dewalt on a finish nailer. I don't know if Dewalt is having a media event this year showing off new tool releases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadlanthier Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I don't know they seem to be slow in putting anything big out. Besides the air tools really all we got was some lights and chargers and maybe another table saw.i guess it's good on the wallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
