Product Information

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. I understand it might still be more than you want to spend, but it might help to know you're paying for more than just losing the wire, it's an all-round nicer thing to use. If anyone has any additional questions about the DCN692 which they would like me to answer, please post them here or PM me and I'll be glad to answer them and incorporate them into the review.

When DW finally did release their first stab at this, the single-speed DCN690, back in 2013, it was very late, heavy, slow and frankly a bit gutless. I recently had a play with the Milwaukee 16ga angled 2nd fix - in comparison it's a bit lighter and the nose is a bit smaller, it doesn't seem any slower or faster in bump mode and it can certainly sink 50mm pins into softwood (not really much of a test, that, though TBH).

In fact the only aspect of this gun I still dislike is the weight – but even there I've learned to live with it. A VERY BIG PLUS, is that removal of the battery prevents the tool from doing anything, including firing. I also have m12 batteries and might look into it too but not really a high priority tool purchase right now.

i was doing a loft conversion job at the time so the gun was used side by side with my makita first fix gun.

Speed Setting 1 is optimized for driving shorter nails (51 to 70mm long), while Speed Setting 2 is for 71 to 90mm nails.
