Product Review: Dewalt DC614KA Finish Nailer
The Dewalt DC614KA finish nailer features a dual mode trigger, capable of operating in either sequential or bump operating mode. Most nailers usually don’t offer both modes. In sequential operating mode, the nailer provides maximum precision placement. The bump operating mode provides you with increased production speed.
The Dewalt DC614KA is powered by a 14.4 volt battery. Since it’s a rechargeable, cordless design, you won’t have to worry about being tied to an air hose. The DC614KA comes packaged with two 14.4 XRP batteries. There is also a one-hour charger provided so that you can charge the batteries quickly and easily.
Another useful feature of the Dewalt DC614KA is the integrated headlight. This light offers increased visibility when trying to use the finish nailer in low-light conditions. The headlight also proves to be a useful feature in confined areas that don’t offer any light.
The nosepiece of the Dewalt DC614KA finish nailer is also clear and accessible. This allows you to clear jams without needing to use wrenches or screwdrivers. Dewalt also kept safety in mind when they designed the DC614KA. The tool provides you with a contact trip lock-off. This will keep the tool from firing off a nail accidentally.
The Dewalt DC614KA can accommodate 16 gauge nails from a variety of manufacturers. 16 gauge nails that measure between 1 1/4 and 2 1/2 inches long can easily fit into the tool. You will also have the option of choosing either a straight or angled magazine. A magazine set at a 20 degree angle offers more maneuverability when working in tight areas.
You can find the Dewalt DC614KA priced anywhere between $379 and $534. This price includes numerous accessories such as a reversible belt hook so that you can easily hook the DC614KA onto your tool belt. You will also be provided with safety glasses and a no-mar tip.
If you’re in the market for a powerful finish nailer, then you should definitely take a look at the Dewalt DC614KA. It’s one of the only nailers capable of functioning in both sequential and bump operating modes. The design also features a useful headlight so that you can use the finish nailer in any light conditions.
