DEWALTPin Nailer, 23 Gauge, 2-Inch (DWFP2350K)

I had a job that required me to install 500sf of 3/8 recycled tongue and groove teak panelling on a ceiling. The tongues were very thin and using a brad nailer left too large an inset and often split the tongue. I did some research and opted for this gun. I couldn't be happier. This was one of the only guns I could find with both depth adjustment and a low nail lockout. Both worked flawlessly. For this kind of production nailing the lockout is mandatory. I could see going half a row of boards and realize your showing blanks without it! The depth control was great. It enabled me to countersink the pins in the joint. They hold pretty well, not as well as a brad. I fired 3 pins at every joist at opposing angles which vastly improved hold (boards were glued too). You can imagine how many of these I shot -- almost a whole pound of Grex stainless pins (that's a lot). Not a single jam. Not a single misfire. Amazing. I don't think any other nailer I own could do that (I own a lot). When you want to flush nail it's an easy adjustment. The nose opens with a simple clip and depth is easy to adjust. If it ever did Jam it would be super easy to clear. Lastly... I said it was a ceiling right? I must have dropped this off the top of the scaffold about 50 times, 8' onto a stone patio. Never missed a beat. I can't recommend this tool highly enough.

Works great. Can barely see the pins.

This is a great pin nailer, easy to use and able to be used in tight spaces. I was nervous given some of the reviews but also have had good experiences with my other DeWalt air powered nailers.It is important to pay attention when loading to make sure that the pointed end of the pins are oriented properly.Leaves a very small hole that often does not even need filling.Would buy again

I don't give 5 stars very often but this tool is superb. First the very concept of 23 gauge is useful. It is like shooting metal hairs. The fastener is so fine that it requires virtually no caulking. Next, Dewalt did everything right, from the mar-proof tip to the double trigger to the gate for clearing jams.The tip is soft and since there is no spring-loaded safety, the gun does not mar the wood. It only jams if you hit something made of steel. Then it clears easily by just opening the head. THIS TOOL DROVE A 2-INCH 23 GAUGE NAIL STRAIGHT THROUGH SOLID OAK, OVER AND OVER AGAIN. And the head was countersunk precisely.NOTE: Since this gun has no safety release at the tip, it is like a striker-fired pistol. The safety is in you brain and if you don't have it working you could get a nasty wound. DO NOT GET USED TO WALKING AROUND WITH THE SET TRIGGER DEPRESSED. Because if you bump the fire trigger it will spit a nail straight at where you are pointing. Keep your fingers off both triggers until you are ready to fasten. Then hold down the set trigger with your middle finger and use your index trigger to depress the fire trigger each time you want to fire a nail. AS SOON AS YOU ARE DONE NAILING FOR THE MOMENT, RELEASE BOTH TRIGGERS AND CARRY THE GUN BY THE HANDLE.

I'm a professional kitchen builder. This gun is working well with 1" and 2" pins.Edit: seems to be oil hungry as it jams after about 10 clips.

This is my second pin nailer. My Porter Cable quit after many years of woodworking. This Dewalt works well. It hardly ever jams, and when it has, it is easy to clear. I would buy it again.

This product gets 5 stars because it’s a DeWalt. However, this product was never shipped to me through amazon. I had to get my money back and ended up buying it at a big box store.I’m in my 50’s and beginning to learn carpentry skills. I bought this pin nailer because it’s lightweight and easier for me to handle compared to the one my husband has had for 30 years.We love DeWalt and have only had one tool ever fail us. I build bird houses and other small projects like that so this is the perfect size for me.

This gun is exactly what I needed. Good size and power. leaves no nose dents like my old pin nailer that has no nose guard. Countersinks pins very well. I was surprised how well it shot the 2" pins. My most common sizes are 1 3/8 and 7/8" pins but it sure is nice to be able to lock stacked trims with the 2". I do find it a little difficult to fire the gun in tight restricted spaces because of the safety but again, "my old gun" has fired accidentally several times in the past so I wont complain too much about the safety. I also appreciate this gun being oil free. Most applications I will use this on are stained or raw stain grade trims so oil free is great. Over all--excellent gun, I recommend it.
