DEWALT D55141FNBN 16-Gauge Finish Nailer/18-Gauge Brad Nailer/Compressor Combo Kit

Product Description

Drive nails with ease using this combo kit from DEWALT. Great for finish carpenters and other building professionals, the kit includes DEWALT's D51257K finish nailer, a D51236K brad nailer, and a D55141 air compressor. The compressor can support two nail guns at once and is simple to carry and store. Also included are a 25-foot air hose, a carrying bag, and safety glasses.

Powerful Compressor to Drive Nails Quickly
Made by DEWALT, the D55141 air compressor sports a 2-gallon and can deliver up to 150 pounds per square inch (psi) of pressure--enabling you to drive nails more quickly. A high-flow regulator provides optimal performance, while dual quick couplers allow the compressor to support two nail guns at once. The machine is equipped with an 8-amp motor that starts easily, runs quietly, and is designed to reduce breaker tripping. Other features include a durable oil- and maintenance-free pump and a ball valve drain that lets you quickly and thoroughly drain the tank.

The D55141's compact, lightweight design makes it easy to carry and store, and the power cord wraps neatly around the compressor for convenience. A roll cage helps protect key compressor components. The machine measures 10.5 by 21.25 by 19 inches (H x W x D) and weighs 30 pounds.

Finish Nailer for 16-Gauge Nails
Great for trim work, the D51257K finish nailer is designed to be used with 16-gauge straight collated finish nails between 1 inch and 2-1/2 inches long, and can hold up to 100 nails at a time. The tool delivers 70 to 120 psi of operating pressure and has a thumb wheel so you can easily adjust the depth of the nail. A low-profile rubber pad prevents marring on the material surface, while a jam clear helps prevent bent fasteners from getting caught in the nosepiece. Other features include an over-molded handle to keep you comfortable during long days on the job. A sequential action trigger provides additional safety, and a trigger lock-off disables the trigger when the tool is not in use. The gun measures 10.6 by 11.8 by 3.5 inches (H x W x D) and weighs 3.85 pounds.

Brad Nailer for 18-Gauge Nails
Well suited for trim carpentry, DEWALT's D51236K brad nailer can be used with 18-gauge brad nails between 5/8 and 1-1/4 inches long, and has a magazine capacity of 110 nails. Like the D51257K finish nailer, it has a thumb wheel to adjust the depth, a no-mar rubber pad, a jam clear, a sequential action trigger, and a trigger lock-off and provides 70 to 120 psi of operating pressure. A 360-degree exhaust directs air and dust away from you, while a textured grip keeps your hand from slipping. Other highlights include a window on the side of the gun so you can see when your nails are running low and it's time to reload. The tool measures 8.5 by 9.6 by 2.6 inches (H x W x D) and weighs 2.4 pounds.

Dewalt Performance Awesome March 8, 2007

By R. Kisic

I bought the nailer to install 3/4 inch wood flooring. Using the 16 gauge nailer, I was able to fire 2 inch brads throught the tongue of african rosewood flooring. A flooring nailer is recommended for this job but I was able to accurately hit the sweet spot above the tongue every time. African rosewood is much harder than oak and the nailer handled the job without a problem. I also like the versatility of having the 18 gauge nailer which I used to shoot 1-1/2 inch brads through quarter round molding. This unit is light weight but has plenty of power. For $300, it is well worth the price.

Dewalt Compressor/nail gun combo September 27, 2007

By Steve Mosher

I do a lot of drywall repair and re-texturing of ceilings & wall areas. I had to replace my old compressor which weighed 50 lbs and was looking for something easier to carry. This compressor works fine, is easy to carry but does run low on compression sometimes because of the small tank. This has not been a problem for me because it does recover quite quickly. I have really enjoyed the compressor in my day to day work and have also used both nail guns on a couple of projects. They worked well and made my jobs so much easier. I am really glad that I made the purchase.

This is my first air compressor but I have had the privilege of using many different portable air compressors (most of them Porter Cable) and this is my favorite. I originally bought this set with general carpentry projects in mind, and I am very glad I did.

Air Compressor Pros:
1. Fills quickly.
2. 2 hose connections are very helpful
3. Metal plate on top protects the motor.
4. Stands up on back for storage so it takes up less floor space.
5. My favorite drain valve I have ever seen on any compressor.
6. Easy to carry.
7. Good placement of power switch on the back.

Air Compressor Cons:
1. 2 Gallon air tank does not allow for much storage.
2. CFM rate is not high enough to use a spray gun for more than short bursts.

Nail Gun Pros:
1. Both nail guns have easy built in safety locks above the triggers.
2. Biggest finish nailer I have ever seen come in an air compressor set.
3. Finish nailer has a good belt clip.
4. The finish nailer once got pulled off my belt and fell onto concrete pavers and did not get a single scratch.

Nail Gun Cons:
1. When you first get the guns they do not come with the hose connectors installed. (They do come with the connectors and Teflon tape but you must put them in.) To protect the guns from any particles falling into them, the guns come with plastic inserts which are almost impossible to remove.
2. The trigger bump on the brad nailer gets jammed in the upright position sometimes.

Accessories:
It came with two accessories I was not aware of at the time of purchase. A single bag big enough for both nailers, the 25' hose included, gun oil, and boxes of nails. It also came with very cheep feeling safety goggles, DPG54M-1D. It did NOT come with gun oil, so to my surprise I had to make a quick trip to the local home depot and buy a $2ish bottle of oil. Also included are the 25' air hose and a bump action trigger (Which I have not used yet).

Other Notes:
1. As you should realize, this kit does NOT come with a staple gun. That can be problematic in some furniture building, especially when applying lewan backing.
2. I bought a 50' hose so I could have two tools attached at the same time and it really comes in handy.
3. You will also want an air gun. They are great for cleaning off sawdust.... Read more ›
