Enjoy the power and efficiency of pneumatic nailing with the DEWALT DC618K heavy-duty 20-degree angled finish nailer kit, which can drive 16 gauge nails from 1-1/4 to 2-1/2 inches in length as rapidly as five nails per second. This cordless nailer is powered by DEWALT's 18-volt XRP batteries, and this kit comes with one battery and a 1-hour charger.

The DC618K's engine design allows the tool to work as fast as you do with consistent nail penetration into both soft and hard joints. The 20-degree angled magazine (with up to 120-nail capacity) will accept DEWALT and Paslode 20-degree nails, and it has a rear-load magazine. You'll have easy access to the nosepiece for the removal of jammed nails without the use of screwdrivers or tool wrenches, and the contact trip lock-off allows trigger to be disabled when not in use.
You can select sequential operating mode to ensure precision placement of each nail or a bump operating mode that allows you to harness top speed. A 6 position dial enables you to move between applications without having to re-acquire exact depth setting. And at just 8.5 pounds, this tool is lightweight for easy maneuvering and reduced operator fatigue. This nailer also includes integrated LED lights for perfect placement in low-lit or shadowy areas.
A tool's only useful if it runs long enough to get the job done, and the DEWALT XRP extended run time batteries keep the DC618K running at full tilt. They provide up to 40 percent more run time than standard Ni-Cad batteries, and any XRP battery can be used with any 18-volt DEWALT tool, which allows you to expand your system by adding other DEWALT cordless tools (sold separately) as the demands of your job grow.
The DC618K comes with one 18-volt XRP battery and a 1-hour charger.
This DEWALT tool is backed by three-year limited warranty covering any defects due to faulty materials or workmanship (from the date of purchase). It's also covered by DEWALT's two-year free service contract, where DEWALT will maintain the tool and replace worn parts caused by normal use--for free.

DeWalt Scores First Time Out!,
By Just picked the nailer up August 31st from H.D... First impressions: This thing is freakin' heavy! I compared it to my Senco FramePro 702XP framing nailer (with 1 stick of 3 1/2 nails in it) and they weigh the same (about 8 pounds). My neighbor has a Senco AirFree cordless nailer, it feels like a toy in comparison to the DeWalt. Pro's: * Cordless! Don't have to drag out the air compressor. * Cool headlights. Good for doing trim in darker areas. * Shoots 16 gauge angled stick nails (Paslode nails were all I could find to fit at H.D.) Used for crown, casing, base and quarter-round shoe molding--made small, tight holes, no problems. * Accurate electronic depth adjustment. 1-6 range, 6 setting will just countersink in 3/4 oak * Bump-firing! Unlike Senco AirFree, you can set the DeWalt to single fire or bump. When on bump mode, it drives at a consistent depth. The motor spools up when you press the trigger, and then bam, bam, bam * Good grip. Feels like typical DeWalt grip. Stays in you hand while sweaty, quality trigger feel. * Spare battery. Good Dewalt charger, quality carrying case (with steel buckles instead of plastic) Cons * Porky. Not just heavy, but the head of the unit is kinda fat, it has a belt clip, which you have to use, because you can't park it in your bags. It does work OK with a Monster Hook, so no big whoop. It will also nail shoe molding just fine while upside-down. * Yellow headlights. I know yellow is DeWalt's thing, but white would have been better. * Price. $400.00 is a good chunk of cash. Overall, great result for a first-time release. Absolutely SPANKS the Senco AirFree--then sends it to bed without dinner.

Good tool and It makes a lot of sense if you own 18V tools now,
By This tool replaced my Paslode Impulse Finish nailer. I've not looked back. Ample power and drives nails well with very predictable depth control. Get the angled nailer, easier to place and nail in tighter spots. With the size of the gun, you'll need it. If you are looking for the possible negatives... Somewhat costly to purchase It is heavy, but the tool compensates me for this with performance and convenience I miss being able to sit the tool down on the front face like the Paslode. The Dewalt rolls over sideways if you try. This makes it difficult to set it down and retrieve from the floor or a ladder shelf. I glued rubber feet to the front, problem solved. If doing production, long nails, hard wood... keep batteries ready to go. I find I can run 3 clips of 2 1/2" if attaching solid oak face trim. For regular use and 1 1/2" nails I get 5 to 6 clips through it. Don't use the belt clip unless you are trying to remove your pants. High profile theft item, bright yellow, easy to lay about, high dollar value... watch it close or you'll be buying a second one real soon. (Soap Box - Thieves should have a finger removed for each item they steal until they learn or can't pick anything up anymore. Seems fair, 10 chances and all.) Rather large for tight spots, but amazingly it can get places I would have said it couldn't. Now, for those that own a selection of 18V tools, consider the kit purchase comes with two batteries... buying two batteries is $100. (you get a 3rd if you buy soon) For me, that's a $100 credit toward the purchase of the gun. Buy it, enjoy it.
