Two things set this tool apart from its classmates: the large nail capacity and the rear-loading magazine that lets you lock and load, or load and lock. The tool is light, comfortable, and sturdy, features DeWalt's ingenious tool-free jam-clearing mechanism, and offers a fantastic line of sight. The sliding depth adjustment is further evidence of DeWalt's creative problem-solving abilities. Unlock it with your index finger, slide the adjustment with your other hand, and you're ready to fire. This model has a nice plus in the 360-degree swivel exhaust cap. Great pad, too--it didn't mar anything to which we introduced it. Finally, and this may not seem like a big deal, but in everyday use you're going to love the reversible belt/rafter hook. --Kris Jensen-Van HesteDEWALT D51256K 1-1/4-Inch to 2-1/2-Inch 16-Gauge Finish Nailer The DeWalt D51321RV Coil Roofing Nailer Worksite Radio Charger Combo Kit is a unique combo package that includes a heavy-duty roofing nailer and worksite-ready radio that can take the hard knocks of the job site while delivering high-performance sound.

This one is by far the most adjustable, stable and easy to use. It has a larger magazine capacity than any other that I am aware of. The PSI needs do not require the compressor to continually cycle. It is easy to angle into tight corners and I have not had any misfires. I recommend this item to anyone that wants a dependable and easy to use fininsh nailer. You will not go wrong with this unit.20 of 20 people found the following review helpful.Good choiceBy A CustomerI've had this nailer for about a year and a half. I have used nails from 2" to 1 1/4", and have had no problems. The gun is light, smooth, and easy to adjust. I even use it to make cabinets, and it works flawlessly. I've never used other brands, so I can't compare, but I am definetely glad I chose this one.28 of 30 people found the following review helpful.Kind of a let down...By Ted S.I bought this gun with high hopes and have had some pretty frustrating work days because of it. The first time out of the kit I tried to use it and got nothing but misfires, double nails, no fires and jams. I took it to the guys I bought it from and they found the driver was put in the wrong direction, so back to work I went. Well when I tried to use 2.5" nails it does nothing but miss fire and jamb. I have spent more time in the last two days re-shooting the base moulding then I have anything else. I took it in to the shop again today and had them look at it and of course it works just fine at 120 psi, but when the compressor kicks in at 90 how is it going to be working??? Not really sastified with the gun, DeWalt has some great features like the depth adjustment, and the tool-free jamb clearing, trigger lock and belt hook, but I think they still need to do some work one the driver assembly. I wish I could say I have had such good luck like the other reviewers, but at least I know there is one other carpenter who I have spoke with that has has the same troubles I have.See all 12 customer reviews...
