For one of the lightest models on the market, The DeWalt clipped head framing nailer sure packs some power. At just 7-1/2 pounds (thanks to its magnesium housing and magazine), the 51822 still delivers up to 900 inch/pounds of driving power. Its conservative 12-3/4-inch height lets you toe-nail where space is at a premium. DeWalt’s unique design buries nails even in engineered lumber with minimal recoil, putting less stress on your body. Ergonomics get another boost from the comfortable, curved trigger and shock-absorbing grip. Resetting your depth of drive is blessedly tool-free, fast and easy, and we also like the quick-release jam-clearing feature for its savings of time and frustration. Safety is a priority, with a dry-fire lockout that keeps the tool from firing when the magazine is empty, a trigger lock-off to disable the tool when not in use, and a steel exhaust deflector that protects the tool if it’s dropped. DeWalt even tucked a pair of safety glasses in the box. A reversible rafter hook will let you hang the tool from a rafter or keep it handy on your toolbelt.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste Whether you're building a fence or adding a deck to your backyard, the D51822's 900 in./lbs. of driving force will help you get the job done without sacrificing precision or comfort.

My husband bought this gun for me because of the low weight and recoil advertisement, and well after using it for 2 days I could not bend my wrist or grab anything. This gun needs so much force to use the trigger and the recoil is so severe it is unusable. My husband also used it for a day and agreed, and after being in construction for 8 yrs he could not stand it. He has used Porter Cable and Paslode and would never recommend a Dewalt to anyone. In fact he bought me a Paslode today to replace the Dewalt. Horrible gun and be prepared to miss work days due to wrist pain!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.The WolfBy Mr. WolfThis is a solid framing gun. It is fairly light and easy to use. There are newer models with more features (various companies), but there may be considerable price difference. So you need to decide what you need out a gun. It does have a kick when shooting 3-1/2" exterior nails, but what would you expect from a light gun setting a long nail??? This is not a finish gun. With any gun, you have to find a happy medium between air pressure and depth setting. I use 90 psi with the depth setting third from deepest setting and obtain a consistent 1/8" counter sink on straight shots in treated lumber. Don't forget to use lubricating oil. There are better deals available for this model, shop around.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.Cannot get partsBy Patricia HaywoodPurchased this at Lowes in 2009 for 216$. Have used it for appx 40 hrs on my own home remodel. Nothing industrial or misuse. The trip trigger broke and I have been fighting with Dewalt to get a replacement for three months. What use is an expensive tool if you cannot get replacement parts. This Nail Gun is now clutter.See all 8 customer reviews...
