Used one recently at the industry trade show down in Orlando.  STAFDA.

Was pretty cool.  To be seen is how reliable it'll be.  Otherwise, sure, could be pretty revolutionary.  I just wouldn't bet on it.  I hope I'm wrong.
 
I do like my second fix dewalt cus it doesn't have gas and I hardly have any problems with jamming compared to paslode hitachi makita .....   So I do have high hopes for the dewalt first fix nail gun!  But I don't use my first fix paslode enough to go out and buy the dewalt one instead.

I have the Dewalt one for second fix and its the bees knees. No gas, no cleaning, no fuss and its extremely durable. Iv dropped it off ladders kicked it around and it's still going strong! If the first fix is as good as there second fix it will be an extremely worthwhile investment for anyone doing first fix
 
Available in NA only!

Drives 16D nails through 2x4's at 200 yards  :-*
 
Their first go round with nailers wasn't too impressive.  I had more problems with the 16ga gun as I've had with any.

Plus, within 2 years of coming out with their new line of nail guns, they introduced new heavier duty models - big wonder!?

Anyways, interesting to see a new Dewalt tool getting any love on a Festool forum, they're not my goto brand for quality in general.

Not much point to the OP's post until Wed. I guess...

That Dewalt 12V max impact driver is one great feeling driver!!! Not in love with yellow either, but if they make a good tool I wont prematurely discount them either.
 
Just about everyone has the ergonomics down on the 12volt stuff these days, but I've got a friend that's had his Dewalt 12volt driver for a few months and it's already making weird noises and is stripped out somehow internally.

Didn't look beat up to me either.  I know they all make their cheap compact stuff and the quality pro lines, but with Dewalt the line seems blurred more than most.

I've been staying away from Milwaukee after hearing numerous forum feedback about that 5 year warranty being near impossible to get  results from.  Stuff like a bad switch being a "wear item" and not covered...

I'm more of a skeptic than most of you green blooded folks here, but it does seem like Festool's the only "no compromises" tool company anymore...

Still, they've got their dogs like anyone else I guess.  That - and ridiculous pricing of certain things - like $169 for a single base for the MFK700??  WTH?

Well here it is to put you all out of your misery :D;D

It's an 18v li ion framing nailer from Dewalt so well done Dean you were the first to almost get it right as its not 20v . I've not got time to go into great detail now as I've gotta be up for work in 6 hours but I will post more info. It doesn't need gas and fires the same paper collated nails as the paslodes. It's slightly heavier than a paslode. The batteries last for ages and it works down to minus 50 unlike paslodes ;D.

More to come.

Oh and best of all I get to keep it in payment for testing it out for the last 2 months ;D
 
pritty sweet.
im delighted its 18 v as i just bought a new 18 v 4 ah impact and sds. id be sickened if it was only 20 v.
whats it like.

ps

In Europe, is there a difference between your 18 v Lion and your 20 V?  Do you have 20 V?  The 18 V battery pictured on this nailer is the 20 V in the US.  It is the same battery, marketing strategy by DeWalt in the US has just deemed it 20 here, but it's presented as an 18 on your side of the pond.

I thought the same thing, here in the us it's actually 20V "MAX".  If you read the literature its nominal voltage IS 18...  It's only at 20 immediately off the charger. 

You might possibly be right.

Daniel
 
Daniel, if I'm not mistaken, the nominal voltage is 20.  Once any power is drawn from it, the batteries will then read 18 volts.
 
Could be my mistake, I'm going from memory, but I know they did do some funky math with the numbers

Actually... Just took this from the Dewalt website

"With respect to 20V MAX*:Maximum initial battery voltage (measured without a workload) is 20 volts. Nominal voltage is 18."

It's on the bottom of their 20v Max page

On any other brand this would simply be an 18v battery.

Hmm. thank you for that clarification.  If I'm not mistaken, I'd seen "nominal" used in the alternate location, describing the initial charge of the battery straight off the charger, rather than the voltage of the batt under load.

And yes, for anyone else it's an 18 V battery.  DeWalt does have a cute way out of being hanged for this blatant marketing ploy.  They claim they already have an 18 Volt li-ion line.  They do.  Their pod style batteries, their vary famous, highly circulated pod style batteries, have an 18 volt variant.  Imagine if this new 20 V slide battery line was released as 18 volt li-ion slide Dewalt Batteries.  We all would certainly have a difficult time.  Imagine one of your men calling my store up asking for an 18 V Dewalt battery.  Now there are two variables.  Is it a ni-cd or a li-ion?  Is it slide or pod?  The chance of that being communicated properly is slim to none.  If you don't believe me, take my word for it.  It's tough enough as is without that issue.
 
I want to have one too, I could easily test one for 2 months if I got to keep it. I'm glad for you Joiner70. Looking forward to the review.  [big grin]
