DEWALT 20V MAX* XR Finish Nailer, Angled, 16GA (DCN660D1)

Works as we hoped it would, very happy with it.

My husband says this an extremely nice nail gun and easy to use. It was a good value for the money. It has a nice carrying bag. The battery and charger work with his other Dewalt tools, which is a nice bonus.

What a great little nailer! I've been doing finish carpentry for 13 years and I can't believe I didn't buy one of these puppies sooner. I was a bit leery about how well an electric nailer would work, but I had a job coming up to put some crown molding in a house with people living in it. I didn't want to have to drag a compressor around and risk damaging any of their stuff by catching the hose. Also, the gentleman of the house worked from a home a few days a week and I wanted to keep as quiet as I could, so not to interrupt his business phone calls. This unit works every bit as good as any of the air nailers I've used, doesn't splatter any air oil (obviously), and never misfired once. And still hasn't! The batteries last a very, very long time. I put them on the charger overnight but they never even ran down halfway over the course of a 10 hour workday. As an added bonus, they'll work in my drills as well, so that's always good. The current picture shows a cloth bag, but mine came with a nice hard case with room for some packs of nails. Not sure what's up with that. The only gripe I have, and it isn't really a gripe, is that this unit takes angled nails which are a little harder to come by. I never had any problems finding them at my local home improvement stores, but the selection is a 10th or less than the straight nails. That could be an issue if you were after some specialty nails, I suppose.

It may be silly to get a 16 ga nailer when I already have a DCN650. DCN680. DCN681, but there are times when I want a fastener heavier than the 18’s but a smaller hole than the 15 ga. Again it may be purely psychological, but that said I really like the 16 gauge nailer. I like the angled feed for getting into corners, but what I really like about the DEWALT nailers is the precision tip for guiding nail placement. The plastic is white which really helps picking out the tip and allows for very accurate placement. In the old days when I used air guns I would often have a nail squirt out the side or splinter something because it was being fired at an odd angle or visually you couldn’t see exactly where you are...not the case with this new generation of 20V nailers. The rate of fire on the nailer is also outstanding. The other day I had several pieces of 1 x 6 spruce laid out ready to nail. I basically used a strip plus of nails in just a few seconds. It was performance I would be used to with air but often find lacking with a battery gun. There are benefits to air, but every time I finish a project and have not fought tangling hoses, not had to listen to the constant noise of the compressor, and have completely avoided those occasions where electric compressors kick off a breakers or a gas compressor has engine issues, I thank my luck stars for modern LiON batteries. If you don’t have either the 650 or 680 this is a good compromise gun, if you have the 680 then I would recommend this gun or the 15 ga...0pretty much depends on what Kind of work you do the most.

I really like this nailer - only thing I had trouble with was 1/4 round molding in a small space... otherwise, is great. I watched dozens of videos, read tons of reviews and did a lot of homework because I was unsure if it would live up to expectations - don't worry. It does. It is heavier than a hose-fed pneumatic, but I got used to it pretty quickly. I use the DeWalt nails and have had zero misfires or jams in several days of use. Easy to load, easy to see the amount of nails left, easy to line up your shot. My only issues is the expense, but you often get what you pay for. I am now interested in investing more into DeWalt (I was a Bosch guy) and taking advantage of the 20V Max battery platform with more tools.

Good tool. I would say, if used for hard core professional, all day use and you are used to a pneumatic . . . this might not be your cup of tea. But not having the need for an air compressor certainly makes it a big win. Battery life is not an issue at all. I used it for an entire room with no concern to the 5ah battery (that's the larger one). It does require hearing protection, especially in a tight space. It does suffer however with more bent nails than my pneumatic ever did, and occasionally will flash it's lights at me telling me it's over-heating. Again, a pneumatic simply will keep driving over and over with no issue. For molding, and 1/2 inch standard oak window sills, this was the right tool for the job.

Love it works great for my interior trim replacement project

I have several pneumatic guns but this battery nail gun is so much more handy to use without compressor and hoses needed. Works great for my uses.

Love it! Bought it for $407.15 CAD and it has made home reno’s so much easier. No fussing with air compressors or noise. Has the power and lasts long on charges. Totally recommend it.

Awesome tool! Lot's of power. No misfires, hoses or compressors

So far so good... Haven't used it that much yet but when I have it has performed well. Only downside hear is the difficulty finding different size nails.. can only find 1 1/4 to 2 1/2. And comes in a soft bag. Also.... 12 GAUGE.... not 12 GALLON... hahaha.

I really like my nail gun, easy to use and load. First one I’ve ever owned, great product for the price! Jeff

Tons of power, lightweight and gets good run life out of a battery. I also have the Dewalt 18ga finish nailer and this one is by far superior.
