DC618K 16-ga. Finish Nailer
The DC618K 16-ga. finish nailer boasts fast cycle times between shots.
My biggest problem with all three of the Dewalt tools is their weight, which makes them as heavy as a modern pneumatic framing nailer. I also find the six-position depth of drive to be problematic and imprecise. Even when adjusted to its minimum drive, it blows nails right through thin moldings. On the plus side, the DeWalt nailers have faster cycle times between shots than any of the other flywheel tools.
