                The stall release light flashes but the stall release lever moves freely and there is no stall or jam. Still light just flashes and will not fire.

                    I wish Dewalt had come out with this adaptor years ago. It is a great way to keep your old tools going.

                    Game Changer
                    Built walls in minutes. It longer to cut than it did to assemble. I used 3 1/2" ring spanked galvanized. It punched them into the 2x4's with no issues. Battery life, I had no issues & long lifetime (all day) with 6ah 20v. Love it. Building a deck with it next. Can't wait!!

                      Worst "pro" tool I've ever used
                      I'm a diy'er. I buy nice tools because I don't have time to waste fighting with tools. my friends joke I must have stock in DeWalt. This is the WORST modern tool I've used, period, including the Riobi nailers I've used. It jams, won't feed an entire strip of nails, can't shoot nails at a consistent depth- even the location of the rafter hook is mind boggling. do yourself a favor and if you need cordless go Paslode. This experience plus the "you bought it haha" response you get from DeWalt when something does break under warranty means I'll be looking to switch to an M brand pretty soon.

                        This is an invaluable tool! I'll always have an air compressor and nailers on site, but this nailer is awesome. Expect to load more nails with 4 remaining in the magazine. Way to go dewalt.

                          Constantly Jamming
                          I've had constant trouble with this gun jamming, no matter what type of nail and no matter what type of material I'm trying to nail. I wish I hadn't bought this gun, it's been nothing but trouble. The latest issue is trying to nail with 2 1/2" hot dipped galvanized nails into fiberboard trim (see example pic). After failing outside, I took the gun inside and tried it to see what was happening, the nails don't even penetrated through the fiber board. Should have bought a pneumatic gun.

                              This nailer is increadible! Purchased for a fence build, and wow did it perform! Able to adjust nail depth and use difference size nails that changed out in seconds. My days of hauling a compressor, hoses, and extension cords to a job site is over. I have changed out virtually all my power tools with the DeWALT cordless line. The battery life is fantastic, and I can exchange all my batteries from tool to tool if needed. I highly recommend... THEY NAILED IT !

                              I am home remodeler by accident - first home fell apart on me. I've since redone two always borrowing a friend's pneumatic framing nailer. When the time came to get my own, I was hesitant to go all in with cordless. The reviews said it would be heavy and I'm not the strongest guy. But I have several 20V DeWalt tools and decided to take the dive. I've had the DeWalt cordless 21° framing nailer for 1 month now. lt is worth every penny. It fits well in my hand and drives 3"+ nails like it's no big deal. Set it for deep penetration and it will do toe nailing without needing any follow up. The weight can get to me after a long string of overhead nails, but it also provides the mass the tool needs to not bounce from old lumber. Usually, I'm not so fast that it makes my hand tired - I set it down while get the next board in place. Not dragging around the compressor is wonderful! It isn't so great I'll throw my pneumatic tools away to buy up. But when they die, it will be tough to choose. I highly recommend this product. Enjoy!

                              would give 5 stars but that clip is horrible and wont hold two strips of nails
                              Fantastic gun, alittle heavy but thats to be expected. The clip feels really flimsey and has a dumb angle on it that makes it feel like its going to fall off
