The DEWALT DCN680B 20V MAX XR 18 Gauge Cordless Brad Nailer is a battery-powered tool designed for those who want the freedom of cordless operation without needing a compressor or gas cartridges. Its brushless motor helps extend battery life and tool durability, which is great if you plan on using it for longer projects. It handles 18-gauge brad nails from 5/8" up to 2-1/8" in length, making it suitable for fine woodworking, trim, and cabinetry work. The magazine holds up to 110 nails, so you won't have to reload often. Weighing just over 6 pounds, it strikes a good balance between being solid yet manageable for extended use, and the adjustable belt hook adds convenience.

Safety and usability are well thought out: it includes a low nail lockout to prevent dry firing, a tool-free depth adjustment for precise nail placement, and easy jam clearing without extra tools. LED lights assist with visibility in dim areas and help diagnose tool status. The tool is sold without the battery and charger, so you’ll need to have compatible DEWALT 20V batteries or buy them separately, which can add to the initial cost. Additionally, if you occasionally need larger nails or a different gauge, this will not cover those needs as it focuses on 18 gauge brads.

This nailer represents a solid choice for hobbyists and professionals seeking a reliable, cordless brad nailer with useful features that improve accuracy and ease of use.

The BOSTITCH Coil Siding Nailer (N66C) is a versatile and durable tool designed to handle wire weld and plastic inserted coil nails, making it suitable for siding projects. Its adjustable depth guide allows for quick and precise setting of nail depths, which adds to its convenience. The tool boasts a lightweight aluminum design, weighing just 4.08 pounds, which helps reduce user fatigue during extended use.

Additionally, a soft rubber foot prevents damage to softer woods, making it suitable for various materials. The tool-free adjustable exhaust is a thoughtful feature that helps direct exhaust away from the user, enhancing comfort and safety during operation. With a fastener length range of 1-1/4-inch to 2-1/2-inch and a diameter range of .080-inch to .092-inch, it accommodates a variety of nail sizes, making it quite versatile.

It can hold up to 300 fasteners, which means fewer interruptions for reloading. However, being air-powered, it requires an air compressor, which might be an inconvenience for some users. Also, the lack of included batteries or battery requirements suggests it is strictly pneumatic, limiting its portability. It is best suited for professional or serious DIY users looking for a reliable, high-capacity siding nailer.
