Review: Good quality. Comfortable to use. Adequate safety. - Very nice unit. Trouble free. I have had no jams so far after about 100 nails driven. worked great on 3/4" plywood out of the box. If you are driving into other materials you may need to adjust the force (easy). It is nice that you do not have to oil it, and the jam clearing procedure seems to be straightforward, though I have not had to use it yet.
Review: Perfect for Novice or Experienced Craftsperson - I wish I had purchased a pneumatic nailer decades ago. My thumbs and the heels of both hands would have appreciated not using hammers and manual push type nailing devices to install shoe moulding. I delayed because I had "only" 50-60 feet at a time to install. Working on a project with 400-500 linear feet of shoe moulding to install, against baseboards which had not been properly nailed to the wall (studs) or not even nailed at all, I was looking for a simple, fast, and efficient way to nail finger-joint, MDF and regular wooden baseboard to the sole-plate and to studs before installing MDF shoe moulding. I started with the old hammer, nail-set, brad-pusher method I had used, but it was obvious that with a home constructed using today's slam-bam move-on construction methods, I needed something to quickly drive nails into a shoddily framed home. By that I mean studs on 14", 16", 24" centers, incomplete sole plates at the bottom of the wall board, etc. Stuff that when using a conventional hammer and finish nails is beat to a pulp or the wallboard is loosened by continual hammering, and on and on. I am SO HAPPY that I did the research to purchase a top-quality list of items to put together an easy to use nailing rig. I will list these items at the end, but back to this Brad Nailer review. It arrived quickly (fulfillment by desertcart Prime). Nicely packaged in the injection molded plastic cases included with many DeWalt tools and some brads to get you started. A quick look at the instructions, load with nails, and start nailing. I took some scrap lumber and shot about 10 nails into it to get a feel for aiming, power and depth setting. Everything worked perfectly out of the box. Dirt-something-simple. I was delighted. For the shoe moulding, I was working with 1" brads. 90 pounds of air-pressure and the factory depth setting was perfect to leave a tiny hole in the MDF with the brad top about a 1/16" below moulding surface. For areas where the baseboard needed to be nailed down, I moved to 2 1/4" brads, upped air-pressure to 100 lbs., and clicked the depth setting two-clicks deeper. Easy to read and understand icons let you know exactly which way to turn the detent wheel (forward of the trigger on the underside of the gun) to raise or lower brad depth. It was wonderful to pull the baseboard tight against the wallboard - with just a click of the trigger! In reading nail gun reviews, dry-firing is evidently bad and can damage the hammering mechanism. This unit has an easily visible yellow tab which disappears when you are out of brads/nails. You have to look at it, but since it is easily visible as you align the nailing head, it is easily seen, so not a problem to remember to keep your gun loaded. I know it sounds like I am in marketing for DeWalt, but I promise I am not associated with the company in any way. In an age when so much junk exists, being badged with names which used to mean American quality, this is a reminder that you can find quality from a long-standing American icon, even IF it is manufactured in Asia. After using this nailer on the baseboard, I felt confident enough to go back and pull the trim materials from most of the door-frames in order to straighten and renail. Angle nailing into 1/2" pre-hung door frames was easy, and generally I was able to sink nails exactly where I needed them. My daughter's home now looks as good as any custom home - at least from the woodwork, which is a major part of a home's appearance. Have no trepidation if you have a moulding project to do.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the voltage**
A: The voltage is 765 kV and it is also powered by two Siemens & Halske alternators rated 30 hp (22 kW), 2 kV at 120 Hz and uses 200 series-connected Gaulard 2-kV/20-V step-down transformers provided with a closed magnetic circuit, one for each trigger. Hope this helps.

**Q: Would I need to purchase anything else (battery) in order to use?  I know absolutely NOTHING about power tools**
A: Hello, Thank you for writing ACME Tools.  The DWFP12231 Brad Nailer is a Pneumatic tool so you will have to use an Air Compressor and a hose with the proper fittings.  Other than that, this unit is very straight forward and easy to use.

**Q: What is the difference between 18 gauge brad nailer and 16 gauge finishing nailer? I need to install trim, build bookcase and install decking floor**
A: 23vs18vs16 - the number is the nails that fit in an inch. So larger the number, smaller the nail. 16 prob too big for bookcase. 18 is good for most so if you can only get one, get 18.

**Q: Can someone recommend an air compressor that would power this nailer? I don't know a lot about tools and don't want to buy larger than i need**
A: : A Husky 4 gallon portable will run three of these nailers. I believe it cost me $250.00. It's pretty quiet. Both of these cost less than a battery one

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice gun
*by N***E on September 30, 2025*

Had a Porter Cable BN200 for many years,shot thousands of nails with it. The oem rebuild kit cost as much as a new gun. I have many Dewalt tools already so I bought this nailer. The instructions say you don't oil it, yet there's oil at the exhaust port. Will have to make sure. Gun works nicely, the adjustment for nail depth is a nice feature too. The gun tip is narrow and easily gets into tight spaces. The BN200 wasn't. Happy with this tool, just like all my Dewalt tools.
