DeWalt D51238K Brad Nailer

Reviewed by: WOOD Magazine

Review Summary

High points: Can drive 2" brads into hardwood at 30 psi less than its maximum recommended pressure, which should extend the life of the tool. Small rear-mounted contact safety trip makes it easy to see the nail path and accurately put brads close to obstructions. Little jamming, even when driving at low pressure into steel. Depth-setting slide bar is easy to use, lockable, and repeatable (you can return to a previous setting with the help of indexing lines on the bar).

…

Low points: Quick-release nose swings open only about 30°, limiting access to the drive path when you need to clear a jammed fastener. This nailer requires both oil and a ¼" quick-connect fitting, neither of which is provided with the tool. More points: Although the D51238K ships from the factory as a sequential-fire unit, DeWalt sells an accessory trigger (part no. D510020) that turns it into a contact-firing nailer.
