Know your tool, then use it- One serious concern!
I read the reviews, and was concerned, but after using it, I love this unit so far- not having a hose or power source was the best investment for me. Built a 16x12 deck last evening in 4 hours start to finish, and this machine paid for itself because there's no power in the remote area I was working. What I don't like is the nail capacity and magazine design. Only one sleeve of nails and about 5 more is all it can handle. It caused an issue with misfires. If you add them too soon, they appear to fit, but the pusher latch actually grabs the full sleeve and holds it back. This lets you keep nailing with the few that were left below the new sleeve. There is nothing to alert you, especially if you are pounding through things. The result is the last nail gets out of line and get's fired in nice curly directions... It is a safety issue as far as I'm concerned. It should be corrected. Had one nail drive itself through the "no mar tip" because of this. Also the pusher latch must be pulled back before inserting a sleeve of nails. Seems like a silly complaint but- every nail gun I have ever used allows you to put the nails in and then pull back the latch into place to fill the magazine. Poor design on this one part. I actually had a sleeve get stuck because of it. Other than those issues, I really made progress when I started paying attention to the tool's limitations. Good battery life. Plenty of power to drive 3 1/4 nails and sink them deep when wanted. NO JAMS on the entire deck job. Yes you have to pace yourself a little bit compared to an air driven nailer...but not significant. Worked best on bump driving. I would buy again because I have 7 Dewalt tools now in my collection that use the same 20V and more to come.

    The Dewalt DCN692B 20V Max XR Brushless Dual Speed Framing Nailer has proven to be an exceptional addition to my toolkit, and it undoubtedly deserves a five-star review. Here's why I'm thoroughly impressed with this tool:

    Power and Precision: This framing nailer delivers both power and precision, making my framing projects a breeze. The brushless motor ensures consistent performance, and the dual-speed functionality allows me to tailor it to the specific task at hand.

    Cordless Convenience: Being part of the 20V Max XR lineup, it's cordless, which provides unmatched convenience. I can work without being tethered to an outlet or dealing with tangled cords, improving both safety and mobility.

    Exceptional Build Quality: Dewalt's reputation for quality tools holds true with this framing nailer. It's sturdy, rugged, and built to withstand the demands of construction and framing work. I have confidence that it will last for years to come.

    No-Mar Tip: The inclusion of a no-mar tip ensures that I can work without leaving unsightly marks on the surface. It's a small but essential feature that demonstrates the tool's thoughtfully designed nature.

    Reliable Magazine: The magazine is easy to load, holds a significant number of nails, and rarely jams. This reliability keeps my workflow smooth and efficient.

    Tool-Only Option: The option to purchase the tool-only variant is great for those who already have Dewalt 20V Max batteries and chargers. It's a cost-effective choice, allowing you to expand your tool collection without unnecessary duplicates.

    In summary, the Dewalt DCN692B 20V Max XR Brushless Dual Speed Framing Nailer is a top-tier tool for framing and construction projects. Its power, precision, cordless convenience, and exceptional build quality make it a standout choice for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike. I couldn't be happier with this purchase, and I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable framing nailer. Five stars without a doubt!

    As with all these DeWalt XR tools, this is an impressive tool. It's not as heavy as it may appear (and slightly lighter than the Paslode I replaced with this). I'm a 140lb 5'8" girl, and I have spent a couple ten hour days slinging this around on ladders, trusses, and joists without making my arms tired or tipping me off balance. The hook is handy to hang it on the ladder/scaffold/joists, and the 5Ah batteries will last a whole day of work without a need for recharge.

    My only complaint is that it is difficult to carry enough nails to keep up with this hammer!

    I’m in the Dewalt club so this fit easily into my ecosystem. I’ve built a 16x20 barn with it now, and it saves so much time.

    Battery life is all day, but I run with a 6ah 60v so it actually goes several days. Very few jams and those were my issue using frosty nails. Very easy to clear.

    A bit heavy and not as rapid fire as air… but no long hose to manage and trip over either (or compressor).

    If you use it a lot close to your head, wear ear protection. It lets out quite a whack.

    Has worked perfectly on 3.25 framing nails and low speed for 2 sheathing nails.

    Bought this nailer on June 4/2023 and used less than 100 nails then it stopped working. After searching for a service /support connection that gave good directions as to where to get it serviced, I sent it to the dewalt service depot in Dartmouth, NS. It was returned in a reasonabe timeframe. It tested ok with a couple nails. The first time I used it, it stopped working after about 20 nails. I contacted the repair depot and was told it would cost $280 to repair. This nailer was supposed to have a 3 year warranty , so I'm not happy with Dewalt and can't honesty recommend their products.

    I’ve used it for around a month this fall on a roof by myself. It was a a lifesaver not having to deal with a compressor and hose 20 feet in the air. Put around 2000+ framing nails through it. Had maybe a couple misfires the whole time. It’s obviously heavier than a pneumatic nailer but you get used to it. Definitely a good purchase especially when you already have batteries.

    I've done framing in the past. This is well built and convenient. No compressor/ hoses/ fuel canisters to mess with. If you're shooting a whole house worth of plywood you'd probably be running air for practicality. There is a delay between shots on this where as with air you can machine gun fire. If your a diy guy just casually remodelling this is a huge asset

    1.0 out of 5 stars Constantly Jammed - DEWALT DCN692B 20V Max XR Brushless Dual Speed Nailer
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 6, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    I recently purchased the DEWALT DCN692B 20V Max XR Brushless Dual Speed Nailer, expecting a reliable and efficient tool for my projects. Unfortunately, my experience has been frustrating due to constant jamming issues.

    From the very first use, the nailer frequently jammed, causing significant delays and interruptions in my work. Despite following all recommended maintenance and operational guidelines, the problem persisted. The jamming often required me to disassemble the tool to clear the nails, which was both time-consuming and inconvenient.

    Additionally, the dual speed feature, which was a major selling point for me, did not seem to make a noticeable difference in performance. Whether on the high or low setting, the nailer struggled to consistently drive nails without jamming.

    Overall, the DEWALT DCN692B did not live up to its promises of efficiency and reliability. The constant jamming and underwhelming performance make it a poor choice for anyone looking for a dependable nailer. I would not recommend this product.

    Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2024

    This is the older model. On the new one the motor keeps the flywheel running after you shoot for some thing like 4 seconds. To allow rapid follow up shots. When I received this I was initially disappointed that it was the older model but hear me out. I'm not a professional framer and if I was I might want or need that flywheel running like that. After building several rooms with this gun in a remodel I'm glad to own this specific gun. Its just plain safer and plenty fast.

    Safety- the flywheel motor shuts off as soon as you pull the pressure back off the foot. This in my opinion for home gamers like me is an advantage in safety that can't be made up for in any amount of partial seconds saved waiting for the gun to spin up the fly wheel again. It's plenty fast enough for a home improvement diy guy like myself.

    Noise- It's loud just like any nail gun, it's basically spinning hammer. Big smack sound. Every once in a while I've seen a spark from a small flake of steel from the nailhead. So loud and sparky.

    Value- It's expensive, but in my opinion there's no way I could swing a hammer to build an entire house at my age I'd burn out. This gun keeps me going long after my arm would be tired. Best part is no hoses, no compressor. Just pull it out slide in the taped nails and go.

    Nail type- so this gun requires 30 degree TAPED collated nails not plastic collated nails like 95% of the nails at the store. So you can get them but you'll want to just order those 3-1/4" .131 nails right away when you buy the gun because most stores won't carry every nail size and diameter in the taped collated 30 degree. So just prepare yourself for not using plastic collated nails when you buy this gun. I am running paslode nails with only 1 jam in all the nails I've set and that jam was my fault not the gun or the nails. So essentially flawless performance out of this gun with 3-1/4" .131 paslode bright nails.

    Quality- As far as build quality it's held up well so far. Like I said I am only a few rooms into framing, but no change in operation works like the day I pulled it out of the box. I could see this gun making many houses before any real failure.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2018

    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.
