What Customers Say About DEWALT D51845 Round Head 2-Inch to 3-1/2-Inch Framing Nailer:

Have gone through over 2 boxes of 3-1/2" nails, and 4 boxes of 8p. Have had this gun for a little over 2 years now, and it is great. It jams about every 15-20 sticks of nails. Have a senco, ridgid, and this Dewalt. I get stuck using either the senco or ridgid, because everyone wants the dewalt. The other 2 guns jam about once every 2-3 sticks. As long as you hold it firmly against the wood, it sinks the nails just fime.

I had the same bad exerience as several others. The gun has some good features but after a couple hours use something goes wrong, e.g., driver will not retract, every other nail bent, will not drive nails all the way. I have had it apart several times and put new O-rings in once. After a few magizines of nails it started acting up again.

It would constantly misfire - clearing jams was pretty easy with the removable clip and the attached hanger clip was nice.well, it started leaking air 3 days ago and quit at the end-of-day the following day. I have been using the DeWalt D51845 framing gun for 2 years and it has been a huge pain. I own at least a dozen other DeWalt tools and love the weight, balance and durability of all of them.except for their big framing gun. I bought the Hitachi NR83A as replacement and it is awesome. It worked great with no jams and has good balance.

For $200+ you would expect this to work well, it doesn't. I should have went to Harbor Freight and bought the cheap chinese one instead for $80. The dewalt does not fire consistently, frequently jamming. My guys have exclusively went back to hammers.

It takes two people, one to use the tool and one to get the other tool unjammed. It doesn't help. I bought two of the DeWalt D51845 Framing Nailers. Sometimes it will shoot two nails at once. My next purchase will be another brand. I've had these tools in the Richmond, VA service center time and time again and evidently they can't be repaired to give unaggrevated use. I use the recommended air pressure setting on the compressor, drain the compressor several times daily, take care not to let the tool get contaminated with dirt, and oil it frequently.

The service center always tells me that they have repaired the tool and of course charges me for it. If you choose to buy this tool, you must buy two and hire two men. Now I use one tool with aggrevation and I have just set aside the other tool as trash. Each time after repair, I'm able to get a couple hours use from the tool and then it gives problems. Then, it gets to the point where it will not recoil to shoot another nail without unplugging the air hose after shooting each nail. I'm just tired of not having a nailer on which I can depend. By the way, both of these nailers are less than two years old.
