This has been on site for the last couple days and is awesome! Are you guys excited for this? Will you be getting one? Purchase one here from AcmeTools if interested shrsl.com/2c1gq
We bought one last week with intention of it being a tool for small repair jobs. We were disappointed with the quality of the tool for the price. We returned it.
My partner has a lot of tools, so when he needed a circular saw, I ordered this one for him as a Christmas gift. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxYDKeIjKLOfcwTgdin7TtCutsz4MbIc43 He is incredibly happy with the purchase. He stated that he likes that it is powerful, but still easy to use and cuts very well. He mentioned that it is important to know the right tools for the job at hand, and this compact saw has been exactly what he needed for a variety of projects at his rental properties and renovations. He also appreciates the battery packs, as stated, he owns a lot of DEWALT tools, so he is able to always keep batteries charged as needed.
Man!!!! Really appreciate it, we don’t always have the money to just get tools and hope for the best Your reviews help out make a more educated investment Like @EssentialCraftsman always says keep up the good work!
With Ryan's th-cam.com/users/postUgkxy_pn55PK60wAV3X_C_RoLS_67mNonoCE plan, I was like one taken by the hand and led step by step from start to finish. Thank you very much Ryan!
This is perfect for me ......I do roof repairs alot ......I'm always hand nailing small repairs because I dont want to hook up an air compressor for a bundle of shingles .
I picked one up for the same reason. I do most repairs myself while crews are on full re-roofs. When I add up the hours I'll save unloading a compressor and running a hose, then putting it all away, it more than pays for itself in the extra repairs I can squeeze in every day.
Picked one up last Saturday, so far I am extremely impressed with it. A great tool for the guys to finish up cutting a rake or for doing the first few rows on the roof, no hose to deal with in those tight areas. Loving it so far.
*Used this nail gun for framing my basement and it worked great **MyBest.Tools** Two downsides are weight and its not a 30 degree. For the cost it was perfect for completing my project. Worth every dime.*
I am in the roofing industry and this does have a good place. With a lot of shingle ridge vent being nailed with 1 3/4” nails this is a nice set. Also when shooting into exposed rafters.
I've been building and doing home improvement work for over 35 yrs and I never thought I'd see a roofing nailer on a Batt with a comparable rate of fire to my Bostitch Thanks for this video young man
In a shingle application it would be nice to have this just for doing ridge cap. That way who ever you are working with can coil up the hoses and compressor while you finish off the roof.
@@tjseymour3081 it works fine for nailing over Ridge vent it can shoot the same nails as any other roofing nailer. It actually is very handy for Ridge vent and doing repairs or shooting steel trims like drip edge, valley pans And j Channel . Granted mine has been back to DeWalt twice and the second time they sent me a brand new one so not the most reliable but very useful.
tile guy here: this will be perfect for installing 1/4" durok. Doing a small laundry room floor at the moment on the 2nd floor of a house. No more hauling the compressor upstairs back down to get hose, gun, nails. Just one bag and I'm nailing? sign me up.
@@davesilvia9711 from Durock web site:FASTENING Secure panels while adhesive is still wet. Space fasteners 8 in. (203 mm) o.c. around the perimeter and in the field of the board. Wood framing and countertops: fasten with 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) 11-gauge hot-dipped galvanized roofing nails, or 1-1/4 in. (32 mm) USG DurockTM Brand Tile Backer Screws for wood framing or equivalent.
daniel buckner Did my fence with a 15gauge finish nailer, 4 nails per cross piece, toe nailed at about 25*. Looks good with no visible nails and has held up perfectly for about 10 years so far.
That's what I was looking for in this nail gun. I do fencing and I've always used a coiler for the slats, but the air hoses are driving me crazy. Did this coil gun hold up to the amount you were using it?
I have to say I was always a hater when I saw guys getting free tools and doing tool reviews for profit. But I gotta say you deserve everything good coming your way. You built your brand, you work hard and you guys deserve all rewards. Keep up the good work lads. 👍
Nice presentation, agree it’s a novelty gun,with seldom use. But, when you do a small service job, installing a window, or repairing few shingles, it’s truly a gem..
Really impressed with the speed it has. Not bad, & I’m happy we are seeing battery roofing nailers finally. Now let’s hope others start to make them; since DeWalt just threw the gauntlet 😉
Works great. With larger battery can put on 9 bundles without a change. On an average 24 sq house that s changing batteries 8-9 times, not bad. Consider you add a nail coil every bundle so every 9 th bundle change the battery.
Used it for a 6 square shed, a little heavy but no hose was worth it. I just went moderate speed and outside of user error a couple times I had no issues and changed the battery about halfway in and maybe didn't need to. I have 7-8 20v batteries so it is no big deal. Loved the freedom of the cordless.
Just pre-ordered, I am very excited about this. I remodel and I think this will be handy in many scenarios: tile underlayment, small roofing repairs, soffit, and others. Thanks for the demo Kyle!
We've used the DeWalt framers for a few years now. I don't like the ramp up, but once you get used to it, no big deal. I think the Hitachi cordless is a better design and the Milwaukee is a copy of the Hitachi. Time will tell. I've been waiting for this to come out. Seeing how well it's working, I'm even happier. I was expecting the ramp up, like the framer.
Enjoyed this review, Kyle. Really like that you are thinking outside the box and demonstrating its use for flashing and siding. This approach can be really great for future reviews, intended use, what you will use it for, tips/tricks. Keep up the good work.
A cordless siding nailer with the smaller head nail would be useful. You could still use it on flashing but with stainless nails do exterior trim as well.
@@MrCubflyer Its the delay times thousands of nails. It equals you still being on the job while someone else has finished and is on the next job or spending time with family.
Keep those two amp batteries the value of those sound like there worth there weight in gold. The nailer seams like it has only a good use For a couple shingle fix for a 35R fix or a quick narrow area you don’t want to drag an air hose.
One of the small 2amp batteries will do 4-5 bundles. So slap in a large one and you can do a very large repair without hooking up hoses, dragging a compressor, running power cord etc.
this is gonna be a real back saver, not a proffesional by any means but ive felted a few large roofs with a bucket of clouts and a hammer, my compressor is far from portable and the portable one I had did not have the guts to drive a pneumatic nailer so a the battery coil nailer will be a god send for my next project, i have the dewalt framing nailer and yeah its heavy but for framing it works great, i've had a few with poor penetration but thats with 90mm ring shanks on some pretty tough timber, with 50mm on bump fire (fixing ply to frames) its an absolute rocket ship!
Game changer. I use it for siding and flashing. Gotta get the siding tip adapter. And upgrade to the powerstack battery's or a 5AH. Goes a long long ways.
sure. i would have loved that tool when i was putting in my windows. The problem with all those coil nailers is when you have the coils in your pouches and they get smashed... they dont want to feed right.
before you put it in your pouch take two coils together (points facing each other) and press them together to make a pancake. They are much harder to crush that way, you just have one open one to deal with at a time. thats what we do anyway
Kyle, would use use this to install LP smartside vertical panels? Like your video with the board and batten LP material, would 1 3/4 rink shank nails be sufficient for the .315" siding and .625" battens? This would leave roughly 1" in the sleeper furring strips. What gun would you run for this type of application? I do not not have a compressor and hose currently, but do have 20+ Milwaukee and dewalt batteries each.
The nailers have been out for a while, they are cheap and dont hold up. This would just be for repairs where there is too much to hand nail or a handy man. No roofer is going to use this, it wont shoot as fast as a Hitachi nailer and if you beat it up like you do an air nailer it wouldn't last a week
@@bolerdweller exactly. Full-time handyman here, and Im not convinced yet. Excited, sure. But having gone through 3 dewalt nailers in the last 2 years (15g and 18g) they just havent held up well at all... We shall see if this is worth it
@@bearlemke I have the cordless dewalts because they were the best for what was available at the time. Dewalt has always had garbage air nailers, I've pulled them out of the box non functional. They own Stanley bostich, black and decker, porter cable, craftsman so steer clear of those as well. I bough an 18 gauge porter cable thinking they would be alright, the last pair I had was 25 years old. Didnt work very well and chopped a piston in less than a year. I didnt even know dewalt owned them until I ordered a new piston and saw that it was a dewalt part as well
Awesome video! Very helpful, it looks really well made, it looks faster that I thought, but still not very convensing there performance. It's a nice toy to have for repairs though, small projects and more, but definitely not for a daily roofer. Great Christmas gift for a roofer 🎁
I think the potential to be better than a pneumatic nailer is totally there. It certainly won’t be faster, but some times it’s not all about speed of the nailer. If a tile installer uses this to install their backer board, or a roofing repair crew using it to replace a few blown off pieces of ridge or missing shingles. Certainly would be better in those scenarios. Just my opinion though.
@@tonyholtum1373 in repairs depending on how much you hand nail would be faster to just hand nail, I could see it being ok for backer board but when I install backer I screw it anyways. I dont think the technology is there for electric tools to compete with pneumatic, we have these ones and they are surprising that they are able to do what they do but they are still fragile. I have one of the dewalt spikers and one of the Brad nailers and they are just as bad as all of dewalts other tools with plastic parts where there shouldn't be plastic parts. I have a friend that worked in the tool crib at a previous place of employment and these guns were in there every day
My ex brother-in-law worked for a large commercial roofing company that purchased the Paslode system when they first came out. We'd get small jobs for weekend work that the company didn't want. Just about every weekend we'd have at least one if not two 20-25 square jobs to run. Paslode had problems of batteries dying in cold weather and the gas combustion chamber would carbon up requiring factory service to clean. The guns would go a maximum of 400 square before having to be serviced. I'd rather have a Bostitch RN45 or 46 with the hose. While you don't like hoses, the hose properly clipped off to a harness will keep the tool from going over the edge of the roof. The only roofing nails that I hand nail at the nails Timberline requires to be hand nailed for their roofing caps. GAF will void a warranty claim if you don't hand nail the 2-1/2" nails they supply. DeWalt has no excuses for selling a shitty coil nailer, since the parent company also owns Bostitch.
Speaking of Stanley Black and Decker, they also own Proto, Porter Cable, Craftsman, and others not to mention their own Stanley Tool line that has been around for over 150 years. Can you tell I'm located a half hour from New Britain, CT.
They own bostich but the garbage dewalt nailers didnt get any better, the bostich nailers came down in quality. All those companies suck now, porter cable line is garbage, craftsman is craftsman, Stanley is still just cheap Walmart junk and so is black and decker. Now if you want good tools you have to go Japanese or European, and get away from the "American made" (really made in china) stuff. Japanese makita is one of the only companies that's still not sold out so they are still good, hitachi/metabo were both good companies before the merger, festool(too pricey for me) and senco or just specialized companies that offer high end tools like stiletto and Martinez hammers, Occidental leathers, stabila levels ect
Nice review, as you said you don't really use the roofing gun for roof, it would have be nice if you demo it with cement board. I use a roofing nailer to install cement board to the floor prior to tiling.
still having good luck with the coil nailer? just picked up the 30 degree framer the other day, considering ordering the coil one too so itll be here by the weekend. need to get my garage trimmed out sooner than later
It's look like an awesome nail gun..i have a few projects at Home like a roofing repair, fence repair and a new deck..Do You think that this nailer Will to work for that?
Any idea on how to get the solid jam light to shut off. I tried the jam release lever. I made sure everything was clear from inside. No small pieces of wire from the coil or any build-up. The solid light just comes on and won't do nothing from there. Any ideas?
Hey do you know where I can buy the coil nails in Australia? I have tried a few different ones and the firing pin jams too often. It’s pretty annoying…
I had to hand nail tar shingles on my porch a few years ago... then shortly after rip up and redo like 10 of them due to a crappy wasp spray that changed the color of everything it touched.
Great review , may ask what is the paslode model you have , these just hit AUS 5mths back and you've had for 2 years in US, I wonder if different to what you have in video being our model Paslode Impulse IM50S CoilMaster , I hope hikoki brings a comparison one out
I have the 18G. I don't find the ramp-up annoying, but... I really really dislike the initial jolting recoil it does when the flywheel launches the striker rod. The tool either misfires, or shifts the work piece, or looses potential striking power and the brad just sticks out. If DeWalt comes out with gas compression type, I'll go for it. For now, all flywheel type stuff is off the list.
good Video just picked one up for $400 CAD New ! can you use to install Roof Sheathing with 1 3/4" length Roofing Nails or 1/2" Ply Wall Sheathing for back yard SHED ?
I would love to see how fast it shoots with a FlexVolt battery. 😁 I’ve been waiting forever for a gun like this for small jobs. Pancakes are good for the small jobs, but very noisy. They say it shoots 3 nails per sec on a 2aH battery. How about how fast it shoots with a higher aH or FlexVolt? Would you be able to put a small video together for that? Also thank so much for the videos...it’s because of you I was introduced to and ultimately purchased Diamondback tools and Martinez tools. Love the quality...thank you!
Wouldn't shoot any faster, your battery just holds more charge. I have flexvolt batteries and tools dont act any different from battery to battery. Only if the tool is a flex volt tool meaning it can tap into the battery and use it at 60 volts rather that 20
I don’t know about that. With my DeWalt 20v impact, the speed is faster at driving long bolts with a 9ah battery than with my 5ah 20vMax battery. I even tried the difference with the Milwaukee drills from 5ah to 9 and 12ah. My Bosch tools especially my reciprocating saw are faster with a larger ah battery as well. So to me it seems it may be able to rev up faster or hold a longer speed for driving more nails rather than 3 nails per second with a 2aH battery.
Hi, Very nice, not expecting to do a whole roof but still good for patch work, shed roof, fence siding and cement siding. Also all the items you described. Yes, i do wish dewalt can change that flywheel motor. Man it's annoying. Like i mentioned before. DeWalt hands down has the best design on their brad and finish nailer. Just the motor is annoying. If Milwaukee can make this identical design with their motor, man it will be a sweet cordless roofing nail gun. Also the same with the DeWalt 15g finish nailer. If milwaukee can make the same design with their motor, forgetaboutit..... Thanks for the video
Hey Kyle. If possible, do a video about the Vapor Barrier.. like explaining why to use it and how it works.. i could not find any good video about that around. Also were I live they don`t use that.. so i want to understand why you guys use it and if it could be useful here on my crazy tropical weather. Thanks!
he he uses the vapor barrier as a Wind Block. That is why he doesn't run the vapor barrier up on the Gable because he doesn't care if Wind Blows into the attic area just into the Personnel occupied area of the building.

You would prefer a siding nailer probably. A framing nailing would even be better than a roofing nailer for that.

Should be good for dense glass sheathing,or exterior drywall sheathing.nice review.
Can't wait for the Milwaukee!
We use a mikwaukee m12 1/4" crown stapler for soffit. Light weight, saves time. No damage from fasteners. Custom made.
every single time when i watch your videos, it makes me wanna be a carpenter xD
Don’t do it! 😀
For a home owner who needs to roof and side his home, is the cordless good enough? Or should I buy a compressor and get the pneumatic version DW45RN?
What about siding and fence nails. Can it work with those nails?
We had a bostich battery roofing nailer back in like 2001 bit it was super slow. It actually hammered nail in.
I'm going to use it probably like once but I still want it
Great demo. Just got mine in the mail today. I have no plans to shoot a single shingle with this gun. It’s got so many other possible uses. Good job.

I think the potential to be better than a pneumatic nailer is totally there. It certainly won’t be faster, but some times it’s not all about speed of the nailer. If a tile installer uses this to install their backer board, or a roofing repair crew using it to replace a few blown off pieces of ridge or missing shingles. Certainly would be better in those scenarios. Just my opinion though.
@@tonyholtum1373 in repairs depending on how much you hand nail would be faster to just hand nail, I could see it being ok for backer board but when I install backer I screw it anyways. I dont think the technology is there for electric tools to compete with pneumatic, we have these ones and they are surprising that they are able to do what they do but they are still fragile. I have one of the dewalt spikers and one of the Brad nailers and they are just as bad as all of dewalts other tools with plastic parts where there shouldn't be plastic parts. I have a friend that worked in the tool crib at a previous place of employment and these guns were in there every day
Can you use this for Hardie siding ?
Heard the Milwaukee roofing nailer is coming out this year too
I hope so
Can you use it for siding? Likes of ecoply?
Great video Kyle question will this do well with 4 to 10mm plybracing on walls or purly for roofing applications? cheers
My ex brother-in-law worked for a large commercial roofing company that purchased the Paslode system when they first came out. We'd get small jobs for weekend work that the company didn't want. Just about every weekend we'd have at least one if not two 20-25 square jobs to run.
Paslode had problems of batteries dying in cold weather and the gas combustion chamber would carbon up requiring factory service to clean. The guns would go a maximum of 400 square before having to be serviced.
I'd rather have a Bostitch RN45 or 46 with the hose. While you don't like hoses, the hose properly clipped off to a harness will keep the tool from going over the edge of the roof.
The only roofing nails that I hand nail at the nails Timberline requires to be hand nailed for their roofing caps. GAF will void a warranty claim if you don't hand nail the 2-1/2" nails they supply.
DeWalt has no excuses for selling a shitty coil nailer, since the parent company also owns Bostitch.
Speaking of Stanley Black and Decker, they also own Proto, Porter Cable, Craftsman, and others not to mention their own Stanley Tool line that has been around for over 150 years. Can you tell I'm located a half hour from New Britain, CT.
They own bostich but the garbage dewalt nailers didnt get any better, the bostich nailers came down in quality. All those companies suck now, porter cable line is garbage, craftsman is craftsman, Stanley is still just cheap Walmart junk and so is black and decker. Now if you want good tools you have to go Japanese or European, and get away from the "American made" (really made in china) stuff. Japanese makita is one of the only companies that's still not sold out so they are still good, hitachi/metabo were both good companies before the merger, festool(too pricey for me) and senco or just specialized companies that offer high end tools like stiletto and Martinez hammers, Occidental leathers, stabila levels ect
I was just wondering if you are installing Hardie Plank; what do you cut it with, and what do you use to fasten it ?? Thanx
Hi, mate, does this coil nailer use regular coil nails like paslode coil nails? Thanks.
Hey man i have question. Wich cordless nailer could be good to do a fence
Nice review, as you said you don't really use the roofing gun for roof, it would have be nice if you demo it with cement board. I use a roofing nailer to install cement board to the floor prior to tiling.
Yes, same here, would be nice to show review for the cement board, if it handles putting nails all the way in and not stick out too much
still having good luck with the coil nailer? just picked up the 30 degree framer the other day, considering ordering the coil one too so itll be here by the weekend. need to get my garage trimmed out sooner than later
Will it go through hardie?
Where can I find the siding tip for the dewalt roofing nailer? I am looking everywhere for it
Did it end up being a good nail gun?
It's look like an awesome nail gun..i have a few projects at Home like a roofing repair, fence repair and a new deck..Do You think that this nailer Will to work for that?
will this work on fiber cement siding?
Can we buy parts for this shed like the hooks that hold the roof down.
Do you know if you can shoot 15 degree stainless ring shank fencing nails? I’d love to ditch my compressor that’s the one corded set up I have left..
Any idea on how to get the solid jam light to shut off. I tried the jam release lever. I made sure everything was clear from inside. No small pieces of wire from the coil or any build-up. The solid light just comes on and won't do nothing from there. Any ideas?
Hey do you know where I can buy the coil nails in Australia? I have tried a few different ones and the firing pin jams too often. It’s pretty annoying…
two very informative videos in a raw wow thank you
Thanks for doing these reviews Kyle.
Hopefully Milwaukee has one out soon
I had to hand nail tar shingles on my porch a few years ago... then shortly after rip up and redo like 10 of them due to a crappy wasp spray that changed the color of everything it touched.
Cool. You should go buy this $600 tool then
just use a water hose on the wasp nest
If you nail on soffit dont you hit the nail heads doing the facia?
2 videos in one day? man keep them coming. I always look forward to your videos
Perfect for fencing or building garden stuff
As a roofer. I'd much rather change the battery 50 times than fight with the hose all day. Especially on a roof that requires jack's & boards.
Yes
Hey guys I’m from australia looking at getting one I’m wondering if it will take paslode could we use here they are 32mm x 2.5mm FAP
Great review , may ask what is the paslode model you have , these just hit AUS 5mths back and you've had for 2 years in US, I wonder if different to what you have in video being our model Paslode Impulse IM50S CoilMaster , I hope hikoki brings a comparison one out
Someone needs to tell dewalt and Milwaukee to hurry up with the siding nailer 😂
YEEEESSSS. Been waiting years for one
Prime Fasteners has a soffitt gun and with a siding attachment. Both use 1/2" x 1 1/4"-2" staples not nails.
Why not use this?
Dewalt has a tip for this gun for siding
Will this nailer accept the 60ah batteries? 1 square per 2ah battery is pretty shitty.
I have the 18G. I don't find the ramp-up annoying, but... I really really dislike the initial jolting recoil it does when the flywheel launches the striker rod. The tool either misfires, or shifts the work piece, or looses potential striking power and the brad just sticks out. If DeWalt comes out with gas compression type, I'll go for it. For now, all flywheel type stuff is off the list.
good Video
just picked one up for $400 CAD New !
can you use to install Roof Sheathing with 1 3/4" length Roofing Nails or 1/2" Ply Wall Sheathing for back yard SHED ?
I would love to see how fast it shoots with a FlexVolt battery. 😁 I’ve been waiting forever for a gun like this for small jobs. Pancakes are good for the small jobs, but very noisy. They say it shoots 3 nails per sec on a 2aH battery. How about how fast it shoots with a higher aH or FlexVolt? Would you be able to put a small video together for that? Also thank so much for the videos...it’s because of you I was introduced to and ultimately purchased Diamondback tools and Martinez tools. Love the quality...thank you!
Wouldn't shoot any faster, your battery just holds more charge. I have flexvolt batteries and tools dont act any different from battery to battery. Only if the tool is a flex volt tool meaning it can tap into the battery and use it at 60 volts rather that 20
@@bolerdweller yup. And honestly my 6ah flexvolt does not last as long as my 4 and 5 ah reg 20v batteries. its just WAYYY heavier
I don’t know about that. With my DeWalt 20v impact, the speed is faster at driving long bolts with a 9ah battery than with my 5ah 20vMax battery. I even tried the difference with the Milwaukee drills from 5ah to 9 and 12ah. My Bosch tools especially my reciprocating saw are faster with a larger ah battery as well. So to me it seems it may be able to rev up faster or hold a longer speed for driving more nails rather than 3 nails per second with a 2aH battery.
Like this. Airless is a quick job repair on the fly lol
That a great tool, wish Milwaukee had one. Maybe not great for full jobs, but blowoff repair? Replacing skylights? Absolutely
Hi,
Very nice, not expecting to do a whole roof but still good for patch work, shed roof, fence siding and cement siding. Also all the items you described.
Yes, i do wish dewalt can change that flywheel motor. Man it's annoying.
Like i mentioned before. DeWalt hands down has the best design on their brad and finish nailer. Just the motor is annoying. If Milwaukee can make this identical design with their motor, man it will be a sweet cordless roofing nail gun.
Also the same with the DeWalt 15g finish nailer. If milwaukee can make the same design with their motor, forgetaboutit.....
Thanks for the video
Could this work for hardie plank or no?
How many fires would you say you get on average with a battery?
500
Good for me. I do a lot shingle repairs as a favor for friends.
Hey Kyle. If possible, do a video about the Vapor Barrier.. like explaining why to use it and how it works.. i could not find any good video about that around. Also were I live they don`t use that.. so i want to understand why you guys use it and if it could be useful here on my crazy tropical weather. Thanks!
he he uses the vapor barrier as a Wind Block. That is why he doesn't run the vapor barrier up on the Gable because he doesn't care if Wind Blows into the attic area just into the Personnel occupied area of the building.
Paslode works very well when use paslode own nails !
I try other brand nails only get problems
Now you can make a video about the red one and say how much better it is since they come out with one
Adapter tip for vinyl siding is available for thus gun. Great video
Can this gun shoot picket nails? Like the kind you use for fences, or Hardie-board?
Hey Kyle do u can try using coils sidings nails in this guns I'm work siding job AND o interest in cordeles guns for this job Is not abalable yet
Any suggestions of nail guns for putting signs on the posts??
