DeWALT 20v XR Brushless Cordless Framing Nailer Review | DCN21PL | DCN690 | ep.1

We take a look at DeWalt's 20v Max cordless Brushless 21 degree framing nailer for plastic collated nails. Having purchased this tool after having to have the DCN690 framing nailer serviced twice in hopes of getting better luck and more power and consistency, but was not impressed. A bit better but not significant. still prefer it over the paslode gas OR pneumatic because of cords.

It works well, not ideal or perfect to work fast, but on small to medium jobs a great tool to have. Using the flywheel design it's good enough to get the job done.

This tool was purchased with our own monies, and this is not sponsored in any way. Not currently a go to cordless framing nailer, but not a bad investment for people using framing nailers.

There are issues that need to be improved, such as strip capacity in the mag, consistency, and can always use more power.


The DCN21PL 20-Volt MAX 21° Plastic Collated Framing Nailer is DEWALT's first cordless 21° framing nailer. The DCN21PL is capable of driving plastic collated fasteners up to 3-1/4 in.
