Whether you're building a fence or adding a deck to your backyard, the D51822's 900 in./lbs. of driving force will help you get the job done without sacrificing precision or comfort. This efficient framing nailer makes it a snap to alter the depth of drive without changing air pressure, and the adjustment is conveniently located right on the tool. There's also a clipped head makes for better precision and control. Lightweight and arriving with both bump and sequential triggers, the D51822 takes up to 80 31-degree clipped head nails measuring from two to 3-1/2 inches in length and from 0.133 to 0/131 inches in diameter. It also comes with DEWALT brand safety glasses and pneumatic oil. For one of the lightest models on the market, The DeWalt clipped head framing nailer sure packs some power. At just 7-1/2 pounds (thanks to its magnesium housing and magazine), the 51822 still delivers up to 900 inch/pounds of driving power. Its conservative 12-3/4-inch height lets you toe-nail where space is at a premium. DeWalt’s unique design buries nails even in engineered lumber with minimal recoil, putting less stress on your body. Ergonomics get another boost from the comfortable, curved trigger and shock-absorbing grip. Resetting your depth of drive is blessedly tool-free, fast and easy, and we also like the quick-release jam-clearing feature for its savings of time and frustration. Safety is a priority, with a dry-fire lockout that keeps the tool from firing when the magazine is empty, a trigger lock-off to disable the tool when not in use, and a steel exhaust deflector that protects the tool if it’s dropped. DeWalt even tucked a pair of safety glasses in the box. A reversible rafter hook will let you hang the tool from a rafter or keep it handy on your toolbelt.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste
