DC618K Dewalt XRP Featured Review

Pro Review: Cordless. do not have to drag out the air compressor. Cool headlights. Good for doing trim in darker regions. Shoots 16 gauge angled stick nails Paslode nails were all I could find to fit at H.D. Used for crown, casing, base and quarter round shoe molding -made small, tight holes, no problems. correct electronic depth modification. 1-6 range, six setting will just countersink in 3/4 oak Bump firing. Unlike Senco AirFree, you may be able to set the DeWalt to single fire or bump.
When on bump mode, it drives at a consistent depth. The motor spools up when you press the trigger, then bam, bam, bam Good grip. Feels like common DeWalt grip. Stays in you hand while sweaty, quality trigger feel.

Spare battery. Good Dewalt charger, quality carrying case with steel buckles instead of plastic

DC618K Cons Review

Porky. Not just heavy, but the head of the unit is kinda fat, it has a belt clip, which you must use, because you can not park it in your bags. It does work OK with a Monster Hook, so no big whoop. it'll also nail shoe molding just good while upside down.
Yellow headlights. I know yellow is DeWalt's thing, but white could have been better.
Price. $400.00 is a good chunk of cash.

Review Conclusion: Great deal for the price.
