Backed by 900 in./lbs. of driving power, the DeWalt D51844 Framing Nailer is ready to sink 2-inch to 3-1/2-inch long round head nails deep into even the toughest engineered lumber. A sequential action trigger and the ability to hold up to 65 nails at a time ensure fast performance for improved job site efficiency. And with a lightweight magnesium housing, an aluminum magazine, and a unique design that minimizes recoil while maximizing power, you can count on this tool to rest comfortably in your hands and to protect your body as it gets the job done. Quick and easy drive setting is right at you finger tips with tool-free adjustment, making it easy to ensure that nails are set flush, even when you're switching between projects, and a trigger lock-off lets you ensure that the trigger is disabled when the nailer is not in use for added safety. You can even count on this tool to protect itself: a dry fire lockout feature ensures maximum bumper life by preventing the nailer from operating whenever the magazine is empty, and a durable impact-resistant exhaust deflector prevents cap damage, ensuring better performance in the long run.

Customer Reviews
Purchased in September of 2005. So far near perfect. But what is?
It seems that Dewalt has made some improvements internally to this gun. I use it on a regular basis and feel I have got my dollars worth. It feels good in the hand and I have NEVER had a Jam. The only negative was when I used ring shank nails. I did have to fiddle with the dept adjustment a few times prior to getting it right. No leaks at all. Heck and I was in the mood to rip into something today. This is a very good gun for the price range. It’s great that Bostitch is now offering a 7 year limited warranty on there Nailer’s but I can’t see paying double when this Dewalt gets the job done. I may just make a special request at the Dewalt web site to see what if any changes they have made since these other older reviews. In my experience Dewalt customer service will get back to you within 24 hours unless you email early and then you may just get a reply the same day depending on the matter. My name is Scott and I am a tool addict. Thanks for letting me share. Addition February 2007: Still running strong. The depth adjustment is the simple Dewalt Nailer trick! If the nail your using is not sinking the way you want it to then use the simple tool free adjustment. Still running strong. Update: January 10, 2009, Not surprised, the nail Gun is still working well. Heck you would think I get paid by Dewalt but I don’t.
Great gun
I am a novice, I am bulding a 1700 sq ft addition. I have been using this gun for several days framing up some walls. The gun has jammed a couple of times, but all I had to do was “rack the action” and if fired just fine. I did notice that it will stop firing if there is only about 2 nails left in the magazine. I just make sure that I refill it when I notice it getting low. I dont know why this gun got so many poor reviews. When I used to work construction the guns we had “bostich” were always jamming, and missfiring. I am really pleased with this gun!!!
Good, but not a Hitachi
I have used this gun for almost two years. Has worked good for me so far. It nails off shear panel as fast as I can go, and has good grips on the nose for toe nailing. The only draw back I have experienced is that it jambs more frequently than the older Hitachis (I have not used one of the newer ones yet). For the money this is a good nail gun, but when I replace it I will buy a Hitachi.
DEWALT D5184
Bought this product a few weeks ago- thinking of getting one for more uses. Have been using to build a deck in a machine shed. Worked just fine for a day or two, then thought I blew an O-ring in the trigger (leaking air). Turns out my compressor valve stuck to a point that it wouldn’t recharge, causing the gun to act strange. I think it’s a great gun, but I don’t care for the plastic collated nails that need to be used in conjunction. To me they feel more brittle and break apart easier than paper-locked clipped heads. The gun will let you know if you need more air. It won’t put one in, or one all the way. I also don’t care for how the dry-fire lockout still contains at least 8 nails. They could fix that. Other than that, I think it’s a nice gun. DeWalt has always been good to me, and has yet to let me down.
Quality Framing nailer.
Ive forgotten what I paid for my Nailer around $200. It works well.
the depth adjuster sometimes finds its way moved. It takes 21deg plastic collated nails which might be more expensive than the paper.. I with all my air tools use air tool oil a few drops with each load of new nails in air inlet, I also spray
my loaded nails with silicon spray, I very rarely have a jam. I had all kinds of
Jams with my Bostich roofing nailer before spraying the nails with silicon.
all in all its a nice nailer no regrets..
