Detailed Review
The DEWALT DCN660B 20V MAX 16-gauge angled finish nailer provides a completely cordless fastening solution for trim work and carpentry. By running entirely on battery power, it removes the hassle of hauling noisy air compressors, untangling long air hoses, or continually buying replacement gas cartridges. Its brushless motor is built to optimize battery runtime while ensuring long-term durability on demanding projects.
Daily adjustments are straightforward thanks to several tool-free features. A selectable trigger allows you to switch between precise sequential actuation and rapid contact firing modes on the fly. You can also dial in your nail depth with a tool-free adjustment wheel, quickly clear blocked fasteners using the tool-free jam release, or reset the internal driver blade using the dedicated stall release lever.
For working in dim corners or awkward positions, the tool includes multi-functional LED lights that illuminate the immediate workspace and communicate tool diagnostics. An inline magazine design makes it easier to position the nailer in tight quarters, and the adjustable belt hook mounts on either the left or right side to match your carrying preference.
Because this is sold as a tool-only bare unit, it does not include a battery or charger, which you will need to supply separately. It is specifically designed to work within the DEWALT 20V MAX battery system, meaning you will need compatible 20V MAX batteries to power it.
Verdict: This 16-gauge finish nailer is an ideal choice for woodworkers and trim installers who already own DEWALT 20V MAX batteries and want a self-contained, hose-free nailing setup with fast, tool-free adjustments.
