Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The DeWalt D51823 Clipped Head 2-to-3-1/2-inch Framing Nailer comes with a 7-1/2-pound magnesium housing and aluminum magazine, making this nailer one of the lightest nailers in the industry. A unique engine design generates power to bury nails in both standard framing lumber and engineered lumber with minimal recoil, and a tool-free adjustable depth allows for quick and easy depth of drive setting. Also included is a tool-free quick release jam clearing feature that eliminates downtime by removing bent nails caught in the nose piece.

Other features include an integrated rafter hook that allows for increased versatility on the job site, and a dry fire lockout that extends bumper life by preventing the tool from actuating when the magazine is empty. Also included is an impact-resistant exhaust deflector that protects damage to the cap and a trigger lock-off that allows the trigger to be disabled when not in use. This nailer comes with a pair of DeWalt safety glasses and a replacement bump trigger.

3.0 out of 5 stars Only does half the job it is meant to do, February 3, 2003

When I purchased this gun it seemed to be a winner.Light, powerful , great features. It wasn`t untill I loaded the gun with a new box of 8`s to bang out a sheathing job.This gun will not shoot any brand of 8`s strip nails , tried them all.It seems like the spring holding the strip nails has too much force and buches them together , jamming the gun after three shots.It does shoot 10`s excellent with ease , but for [money], it does half the job of any other nail gun.Try a friends before you buy one....

This is a sturdy, well-made gun that fires 3 1/4 and 2 1/2 inch
clipped heads with equal tenacity. The bump-trigger is very light and I can easily rat-a-tat if I'm not quick off of the "bump". I might switch to a single selective trigger which comes packaged with the tool. Wish I had a carry-box or fabric bag that came with it. I'm ready to tackle several decks now just to feel it work. GREAT Tool !!! C.H. Josephs

When I got this gun I was really pleased. It's light and fairly powerful. But after framing about 20 houses in the last year or so it just couldn't hold up. The power dropped dramatically and then the nose and trigger gave up.It probably would do great under a less stressful workload.
