Backed by 900 in./lbs. of driving power, the DeWalt D51844 Framing Nailer is ready to sink 2-inch to 3-1/2-inch long round head nails deep into even the toughest engineered lumber.

Quick and easy drive setting is right at you finger tips with tool-free adjustment, making it easy to ensure that nails are set flush, even when you're switching between projects, and a trigger lock-off lets you ensure that the trigger is disabled when the nailer is not in use for added safety. You can even count on this tool to protect itself: a dry fire lockout feature ensures maximum bumper life by preventing the nailer from operating whenever the magazine is empty, and a durable impact-resistant exhaust deflector prevents cap damage, ensuring better performance in the long run.DEWALT D51844 Round Head 2-Inch to 3-1/2-Inch Framing Nailer

Most helpful customer reviews35 of 39 people found the following review helpful.JunkBy William EscobedoI bought two of these nailers, the first one leaked air out of the trigger the first time I attached an air hose. I returned it and bought another. It worked great for about a week. Then it started to jam every other nail load. It started to leak air. I finally got so mad I threw it off the roof in to a dumpster. Piece of garbage, buy a Senco, or hitachi.16 of 16 people found the following review helpful.Purchased in September of 2005. So far near perfect. But what is?By tcammsIt seems that Dewalt has made some improvements internally to this gun. I use it on a regular basis and feel I have got my dollars worth. It feels good in the hand and I have NEVER had a Jam. The only negative was when I used ring shank nails. I did have to fiddle with the dept adjustment a few times prior to getting it right. No leaks at all. Heck and I was in the mood to rip into something today. This is a very good gun for the price range. It's great that Bostitch is now offering a 7 year limited warranty on there Nailer's but I can't see paying double when this Dewalt gets the job done. I may just make a special request at the Dewalt web site to see what if any changes they have made since these other older reviews. In my experience Dewalt customer service will get back to you within 24 hours unless you email early and then you may just get a reply the same day depending on the matter. My name is Scott and I am a tool addict. Thanks for letting me share. Addition February 2007: Still running strong. The depth adjustment is the simple Dewalt Nailer trick! If the nail your using is not sinking the way you want it to then use the simple tool free adjustment. Still running strong. Update: January 10, 2009, Not surprised, the nail Gun is still working well. Heck you would think I get paid by Dewalt but I don't.16 of 16 people found the following review helpful.Comfortable but not durableBy Zee-BiltI bought this model when it first came out. It worked pretty good for about 2 years. It was ergonomic and comfortable, but the trigger started leaking and I could not find any one local to repair it. I sent it to the Dewalt repair center and it cost $135.00 to repair. I think I will go back to Hitachi nail gun or maybe try Max nail guns. Follow up on this review after still having a problem with the trigger I took it once more and to my suprise Dewalt gave me a brand new gun. (Dewalt, you're O.K.) They took the old gun back, that I used almost every day for two years, for evaluation to improve their guns in the future. It's been about six mounths and this gun seems to be working well. My only complaint now is that the six position depth is not a fine enough adjustment for the perfect depth; one doesn't set them deep enough, the other is too deep.See all 13 customer reviews...
