Ok so I just bought this to build my large two car garage. There is a lot to know about this tool and it's expensive so people deserve to know the truth. The average temperature was 30F. It seems to work fine in the cold. First, remove the no mar plastic tip. There is no reason to use this for framing. Second, get some nails. I bought these from Amazon. They were the biggest I could find. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00005JRL5?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title They worked great. Much bigger than the ones at Lowe's and much smaller package. I didn't need 3000 nails lol. For the large nails you set the speed setting to #2. These drove perfectly every time except when trying to nail through 3.5" of solid LVL, which had to be hand finished the last 3/8" which is two or three taps with a hammer; no biggie. For attaching the 1/2" OSB I bought these nails https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00005JRL5?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title They also worked really well. I also tried there ones from Lowe's but those jammed more which I'll explain in more detail now. The manual recommends speed setting #2 for 8d nails but I found this setting in about 1/4" into 1/2" OSB and I wasn't thrilled so I set the speed to #1. This seemed to cause jamming at times particularly when I would anticipate the recoil and pull the gun away. Once it's jammed it can take as few seconds to several minutes to unjam. My arm was getting tired because this gun is heavy. I'm not saying compared to other guns, I'm just saying its heavy and if you're a wimp this might not be the gun for you. I'm 6' 230 and been in and out of the trades since I was a kid but the past 10 years people just use me for me brain and I sit at a desk and do engineering and I'm not in the best shape. Ok so back to the jamming, the nailgun and the directions and I agreed to disagree and I settled on speed setting #2 but i shot the nails at an angle so they would not penetrate the sheathing more than a whisker. This worked great and I had no more trouble. I also tried the bump setting and it worked satisfactory but the gun is so heavy it was difficult to control the aim precisely but it works fine. You still have to let it charge a bit between shots. You can't go as fast as my pneumatic Bostich roofing nail gun but you can go at a good pace. You'll want to keep the clip full. I had a few jams when it was on the last nail before dry fire lockout but it could have been my technique, I'm not fully certain. At the end of the day, I didn't have to deal with my air compressor in cold weather and the noise that a compressor makes and the hose and that drama. I listened to music and worked whenever I wanted with no trouble. I'm not sure what else to say. I'm satisfied with the product and glad I bought it.

Style: Framing Nailer OnlyVerified Purchase
I’m not a builder - just a regular DIY homeowner type. I ordered this about a month ago for a rather large remodel project, and I didn’t want to haul my compressor and pneumatic gun up into the attic. I’ve accumulated quite a few to the FlexVolt tools, so I’m pretty well invested in the batteries, and thy have been really solid and flexible tools. Admittedly, I love the ability to swap the batteries when needed, and I’ve pretty much got enough of them to run my drill, saw, nailer, and oscillating tool with minimal swapping.

I read the reviews and was concerned over the number of negative reviews - complaints of frequent jams and inability to drive nails completely. But I made the purchase anyway (happy birthday to me). It arrived well packaged, on time, and in perfect condition - for MUCH less than the big box store.

I read the directions (shocker there!) and headed up I to the attic. I purchased GripRite brand nails, 3 1/4” and 2 1/2” lengths. I loaded the gun with 3 1/4” and started happily firing away...until after the first shot. Yep - I was the victim of the dreaded incomplete drive and jam. Fired about 10 more, all with the same result despite adjusting the depth of drive to maximum. Was just about to chuck it across the attic, when the nail selector switch at the base of the handle caught my eye, and then it hit me. Short nails use setting #1, and longer nails use setting #2. Setting 1 doesn’t use as much power so it doesn’t overdrive the nails. Setting 2 uses full power, and is NOTICEABLY more powerful. Soooo, I switched over to setting 2 and adjusted the depth of drive, and voila - perfectly driven nails...and then I explained to my son the importance of reading the directions, aaaannnnddd then actually following them. I’ve had one jam since, and that was likely due to the way I was holding it. Otherwise, every nail has been driven perfectly.

Most of the negative reviews seem to mirror my initial experience, so i could be wrong, but, I suspect they had the selector switch in the wrong position for the nail they were driving. Position 1 is how the unit was shipped, and I suspect most people are using longer framing nails. So it is a really easy mistake to make, but thankfully, just as easy to correct. The selector switch is tucked neatly out of view (behind/under your fingers) when you are hold the gun, though it is not hidden in any way.

All in all, this is a very solid unit, and more than capable of DIY use, and I suspect it would be good for construction also. I’ve got the 6 AH battery loaded and haven’t recharged it yet, and am about 2 weeks into using it. It is MUCH more convenient than having to lug the compressor up stairs and deal with the hose, and waiting for the compressor to recharge. It is a tad heavy when working over your head though.

All in all, I find this to be a very solid unit, that is more than capable of delivering on its promises. At the risk of sounding like a DeWalt fanboy...I HIGHLY recommend this nail gun.

I was NOT COMPENSATED for this review, I DID NOT receive the item at a discount, and this review accurately describes my experience with the DeWalt FlexVolt framing nail gun.

Works perfectly. Somewhat bulky and heavy but I got use to it. Easy nails management. Very powerful action. A must have if you need a lot of nailing. Highly recommended.
