Product Review: DeWalt DC618K Finish Nailer
The DeWalt DC618K offers two operating modes. They include sequential and bump operating modes. The sequential mode is useful when you need to place nails precisely. The bump operating mode is useful when accuracy is less of a concern than speed.
If you use nail guns often enough, you’ll have a jammed nail. The DeWalt DC618K allows you to remove jammed nails easily. The unit is designed to offer convenient access to the nosepiece so that you can remove nails without needing to use wrenches or screwdrivers. Also, the top cap is impact resistant to offer more durability.
The DeWalt DC618K is equipped with a 20-degree angled magazine. The nailer is designed to use 16-gauge nails with a length between 1 1/4 inch and 2 1/2 inch. The magazine used for the DC618K can accommodate up to 120 nails at a time. Also, you will appreciate the versatility offered by the rear-loading magazine.
This finish nailer also provides a useful safety feature. It is equipped with a contact trip lock-off. This feature disables the trigger while you’re not using the DeWalt DC618K. This keeps it from accidentally firing a nail. The lock-off is simple to turn off and on. Also, the unit is included with safety glasses to protect your eyes from errant nails.
Another useful feature of the DeWalt DC618K are the built-in LED lights. They allow you to illuminate your work area so that you can see more clearly. The nail is also equipped with a six-position dial for various depth settings. The DeWalt DC618K is also packaged with a reversible belt hook so that you can carry the unit around with you easily. The included heavy-duty kit box also provides a convenient place to store the nailer.
If you’re in need of a finish nailer, you will appreciate the DeWalt DC618K. It offers both sequential and bump operating modes so that you can choose accuracy or speed. The nosepiece is also easy to access so that you can remove jammed nails easily.
