Customer Reviews for DEWALT 6 Gal. 165 PSI Heavy-Duty Electric Pancake Air Compressor, 18-Gauge Brad Nailer and 2 in. x 18-GA Brads (2500 per Pack)

This is my first time with my new nailer. I had great success!

Does exactly what it’s supposed to do!! The tank fills up fast at the start and it has both a tank pressure gauge and an infinitely variable pressure regulator to the two quick connect hose connectors. I have used the air compressor to power two different nail guns, air sander, and fill up tires, all without any issues. The nail gun and hose that are included also work well without any issues!

Needed something with a little more depth for tacking the door casement to the rough wood frame to hold the shims in place before I screwed the door in place. They worked accordingly.

Great nails. Did exactly what they were supposed to do.

Box was delivered open and busted up can’t use 1/4 of the box

Brad nails work great and the price is more than fair. I will be purchasing more sizes in the future.

This is a follow up to a negative review I posted earlier on this compressor that was likely unwarranted due to confusion on my part. I misunderstood the manual and thought the single pressure dial would set the desired level at the tank and shut motor down at that tank pressure level thus regulating desired output. Others I have used had a tank gauge AND a gauge for desired output. I later decided on a smaller unit, but I expect that the unit I thought had a faulty regulator actually did not. Having read other reviews re "faulty regulators", seems others may have been confused by this design as well. If I need a 6-gal unit in the future, I'll again give this Dewalt model a try.

First unit bought online and delivered to home. Pressure regulation/shutoff entirely inop. Returned to store and retrieved same brand/unit expecting first had faulty regulator. Immediately tested upon return home and had the same problem. Will be buying different brand. Too bad as all my other power tools are Dewalt brand.

Box that the nails came in was destroyed.

Compact and powerful. Great for around the home DIY projects and small business operations
