DeWalt Nail Gun

Why choose a DeWalt nail gun?

DeWalt nail guns are built to be tough for performance and endurance. A DeWalt first fix nailer will withstand even the most demanding job site tasks, while a DeWalt finish nailer is a great choice for more detailed finishing tasks around the home.

With a reputation for making tough tools at affordable prices, DeWalt nail guns let you work quickly and consistently, accomplishing any hammering job in a fraction of the time.

How to use a DeWalt nail gun

A DeWalt nail gun is a high powered, high speed tool powered by an 18v battery. 

• A DeWalt 1st fix nailer is a robust framing, flooring, and roofing tool that can fire large nails deep into the timber. 
• A DeWalt 2nd fix nailer, or DeWalt brad nailer, is used for fine work where nails are visible, like door frames or skirting boards. These nail guns use smaller, discreet nails and are less powerful than a DeWalt 1st fix nail gun. 

How to load a DeWalt nail gun

Be ready to work at a moment’s notice with a DeWalt nail gun. These easy to load tools use nail strips for speed and efficiency. 

They follow a simple three step process:

1. Pull back the tab.
2. Insert a strip, ensuring the nails point outwards. 
3. Lock the strip in place with the tab and start nailing.

What nails can be used in a DeWalt nail gun?

DeWalt nail guns are compatible with nails from well known manufacturers. Before buying any nails, always check the gauge, angle, and length to ensure a secure fit.

You can use the following collated nails with a DeWalt First Fix nailer or brad nailer:

• Plastic
• Paper
• Glue

Remember — you should never use wire collated nails with a DeWalt nail gun.
