Editor's Notes
February 05, 2019:
Added the DeWalt DCN681D1 for its dependable brushless motor, on-board LEDs, and low-supply lockout function to eliminate the chances of dry firing. I also thought the Makita AT638A was a formidable option due to the 2-mode selector switch for seamless toggling between sequential and contact actuation. Included the Bostitch SX1838K for its dial-controlled depth adjustments and swiveling air fitting. Additionally, the built-in pencil sharpener on its belt hook is quite convenient. Although it's a bit bulky, I thought the Porter-Cable PCC791LA was a worthy contender, thanks to its high-volume staple capacity and internal flywheel for superior firing consistency. Also added the Metabo N3804AB3 because of its 360-degree adjustable exhaust and tool-less nose for easy jam clearing. The anodized aluminum construction of the Freeman PST9032Q is ideal for constant and rapid trigger use, while the oil-free design prevents stains on work pieces. Finally, I thought that both the PowRyte 2-in-1 and NuMax S2-118G2 were versatile additions to the list because they can be used as both brad nailers and narrow-crown staplers.
