DEWALT D51238K 5/8-Inch to 2-Inch 18-Gauge Brad Nailer

DEWALT D51238K 5/8-Inch to 2-Inch 18-Gauge Brad Nailer
  • Tool-free depth adjustment assists in locating the perfect depth setting for precise nail penetration
  • Side low-nail indicator window allows user to quickly and easily see when it is time to re-load
  • Overmolded no-mar pad increases visibility and reduces marring on material
  • Tool-free jam clear eliminates down-time from bent fasteners caught in the nosepiece
  • Tool-free 360 degree exhaust channels air and dust away from user;Trigger lock-off allows trigger to be disabled when not in use

Boy I like this nailer. I have owned it for almost 2 years and have no complaints. I've never had a misfire. It drives 2 inch nails with ease. Best of all it's light. I used it for window and door molding and cabinet work. This gun is easy to load, and easy to change the depth of the shot.

Some nice features are:

1. As the nails run low, an indicator appears to show that you have 6 nails left. Then it moves to show a countdown to show when you are empty. It's nice not to have to open the magazine to see how many nails you have. And of course the indicator that appears is yellow.

2. You can direct the exhaust airflow anywhere you want.

3. If the nail jams, which has only happend when I hit something below, the head easily opens so you can extract the bent nail.

I also have the 15 ga. nailer and would highly recommend both of these. I've also recommended this nailer to 2 friends and they have also had excellent results. Way to go DeWALT!!

Update: add another year of use, still working strong. No problems at all.

Buy DEWALT D51238K 5/8-Inch to 2-Inch 18-Gauge Brad Nailer Now

I bought a DeWalt nail gun near the end of last year. Since then I've driven several boxes of nails with it, mostly without any hitches. I've used it nearly every day for building cabinets and installing mouldings. This is my third brad nailer. My first one was a Senco SLP20, a fabulous gun. I never had any problems with the Senco other than the safty being on the front side of the driver... that made it difficult to shoot nails at a bit of an angle if needed. My only other complaint about the Senco was its limited capacity in length of nails, 1 5/8". After the Senco was stolen out of the back of my truck I bought a Hatachi brad nailer... the DeWalt was not yet on the market. Overall, the Hatachi was a nice quality gun and had the 2" nail depth capacity I really needed for my work. However, it would often double fire on me because the safty was so sensitive. This problem occurred so much I finally gave it to my son (a weekend warrior) after the DeWalt came on the market. I was real excited about the new DeWalt brad nailer because of the nice features, particularly the design which put the safty behind the driver. It worked flawlessly right out of the box and I almost never looked back. At the time I was looking at the DeWalt gun I was also considering the new Senco gun that shot 2" nails.

Now after about six months I'm beginning to think I made a mistake buying the DeWalt. A recent problem has occurred that's quite troubling: The gun stopped firing and recycling properly. I thought maybe at first it was due to a blown O-ring or something like that. The only way I could get the cylendar to return was to uncouple the air hose. Then, I could shoot one nail before having to uncouple the hose again. Needless to say this was a pain in the rear. Another son, who is also in construction, told me he encountered the same propblem with his DeWalt brad nailer... which was even newer than mine. He was finally able to get his to work by adding oil to the driver and guide after opening up the quick release mechanism. I tried this, but used a super thin lubricant instead of the oil that came with the gun. It didn't work. Later I went back and it fired fine for about 10 shots and then stopped again. I've let it set for a couple of days now and just tried it again. It seems to work fine now, but obviously I'm concerned because I don't feel I can rely on it when doing a job on site... and that could really cost me time and money. So, I'm once again thinking hard about buying yet another brad nailer, the newly designed Senco 2" gun. I've really liked the DeWalt, but am concerned about it's relyability. I'm also put off because it may be necessary to buy a third nail gun in less than two years... this is getting expensive.

I just bought this nailer at Home Depot several months ago for our trim crew. We specifically use 18G bradders for shoe and other small moldings. This unit is the best we've ever come in contact with. The guys tried the Porter Cab tools and they don't seem to have the power to set nails and they don't feel nearly as durable as the Dewalt. The depth setting mechanism on this tool is tops as well

I recently purchased this 18 gauge Brad Nailer and a Porter Cable Pancake Compressor for Christmas. I waited to write a review until I had time to test it properly and I am still not certain that I am giving the Nailer a proper review. To start with I thought that all of the fittings for connecting to a compressor would come with the Nail Gun but these items were not included. I purchased the necessary fittings, which were very inexpensive, set it up and started testing it. Since I have never used a Nail Gun before, I changed the trigger to the sequential trigger provided in the kit to prevent accidentially shooting too many nails in one place. I am happy with the way the Gun feels, with the depth it shoots brads, how easy it is to change the depth, eveything EXCEPT that sometimes it dry fires for no reason. I have tried doing the things the instructions suggest to prevent this but I was still able to dry fire once about every 15 shots. Other than this the gun is really nice and I hope that I can talk to someone at Dewalt to resolve this problem. As of Jan. 2 I can not get through to anyone at Dewalt for assistance. I will write again as soon as I get assistance and the problem is resolved or if the problem remains I will down grade my review.

I received this nail gun as a free gift from DeWalt for purchasing a certain amount of products from them. I had previously used only Spot Nails and Omer nail guns, available only through a supplier, but as soon as I tried the DeWalt, I could tell it was superior even to my Spot Nails gun. I've used it for two years now in the cabinet and molding industry, and as my shop has grown, I will be getting a few more of these nail gun for my guys to use. I have recommended this gun to all of my friends in the industry. I do not blindly endorse DeWalt products, but this nail gun really is a good product.

Senco PC0968 Compressor, 1.5-Horsepower (PEAK) 2.5-Gallon

Senco PC0968 Compressor, 1.5-Horsepower 2.5-Gallon
  • Electric, hand-carry design
  • Oil-less
  • Weighing in at only 38-pounds
  • 2.5-gallon tank storage.
  • 135 PSI max pressure

This is a great, comparatively light, little compressor that drives my stapler; brad driver, 15 and 16-gauge finish nailers with ease. I have high expectations for any Senco product, so I did notice one minor design flaw if you plan to use a filter at the compressor connection.

The compressor's female quick release is facing more toward the roll bar frame instead of being angled away from it. There isn't enough physical space to clear a large in-line air filter, so instead of changing out the factory release, I simply used a swivel fitting on the air line (see my photo) to angle the filter and hose away from the frame. No big thing.

The stacked tank design doesn't seem to be as loud as pancake compressors, but is about what you would expect of a 1-1/2HP compressor. I still intend to fashion a noise shroud for indoor and woodshop use.

I should also mention that it took two tries to get a compressor delivered that wasn't damaged in transit. Damaged compressors seem to be a common problem at Amazon (read the horror stories under Makita) but this is attributable to bad compressor design, as much as rough handling during shipping. My compressors arrived by UPS, double-boxed with newspaper packing in between, yet the first compressor had a smashed pressure gauge inside. The inner box, from Senco, was not damaged in any way. So that must mean the gauge was damaged and shipped out anyway at the factory???

I have to praise Amazon Customer Service who replaced and delivered a perfect, new Senco compressor in just 72 hours--can't ask for better service than that.

This is a great little compresseor. I have a small contracting buisness and this compressor is light enough to carry through a house. It is quiet enough not to force everyone out of a room. It also is capable enough to handle finish work through light framing that you do in remodling work.

the Senco costs more than comparable capacity compressors but the quality of materials, workmanship, quietness, and reasonable weight (37#) made me happy to have paid the premium. I was doing a remodel job that required using a framing nailer....got 10 to 12 nails before the unit quickly and quietly recovered.

I purchased this Senco Compressor after reading other positive reviews and I'm not disappointed. The unit is well-constructed and appears to be built to last. The pressure relief valve makes it easy to bleed air and the drain valve is brass and easy to operate. I especially like the quick on-off lever and the pressure limit control. All air fittings work as expected. The unit weighs little enough so that it's easy to transport using the well-balanced handle. Noise is something that all of these small compressors produce but the PC0968 doesn't make too much of it at least in my subjective opinion.

After researching the "smaller" compressors, the pc0968 was a perfect match. Billing was easy, shipping was quick, and the little guy works awesome. When the box came, I thought it was a toy. All around, great little unit. Lightweight, very, very, VERY quiet, super fast to pump up and recover. Haven't tried my framer yet, but I'm sure she will do ok.

Meriam M600KT Combo Pneumatic Calibration Pump Kit

Meriam M600KT Combo Pneumatic Calibration Pump Kit
  • Pneumatic pump kit
  • Vacuum 28'' Hg to pressure 600psi (combination pump)
  • Compatible with all gauges and calibrators
  • Connections (2 ports) 1/4" and 1/8" NPT/BSP

Realmente es muy buena , la uso para trabajos de campo, calibración de manómetros y transmisores de presión , se puede pasar de vacío a presión positiva, sólo pulsando el pasador, excelente capacidad de bombeo por cada accionamiento. Yo pude calibrar 8 vacuometro en tiempo récord . Su mayor fortaleza es que puedes pasar de presiones negativas a presiones positivas , tan solo moviendo el pasado, sin la necesidad de hacer ningún cambios de conexión .esto ahorra un tiempo considerable a la hora de calibrar instrumentos de presión absolutas . El vacío máximo que e logrado alcanzar es 26,5 inHg.

Debo agregar un segundo comentario : la bomba funciona muy bien desde -26 inHg hasta los 100 psi, para más de 100 psi es extremadamente dura para accionar la con una sola mano. Sólo llegue 290 psi haciendo un gran esfuerzo con las 2 manos . Conclusión no la recomiendo para presiones mayores de 100 psi . Aunque las especificaciones técnicas dice hasta 600 psi , realmente no es así.

It really is very good, for field use, calibration of pressure gauges and pressure transmitters, you can go from vacuum to positive pressure, just by pressing the pin, excellent pumping capacity per drive. I could calibrate eight vacuum gauge in record time. Its greatest strength is that you can go from negative to positive pressures pressures, just moving the past, without the need to make any connection changes. This saves considerable time when absolute pressure gauge instruments. The maximum vacuum is achieved and 26.5 inHg.

I must add a second point: the pump works great from -26 inHg to 100 psi, for more than 100 psi is extremely hard to trigger with one hand. Only reaches 290 psi working hard with 2 hands. Conclusion not recommend for pressures greater than 100 psi. Although specs say up to 600 psi, it really is not
