My biggest problem with all three of the Dewalt tools is their weight, which makes them as heavy as a modern pneumatic framing nailer. I also find the six-position depth of drive to be problematic and imprecise. Even when adjusted to its minimum drive, it blows nails right through thin moldings. On the plus side, the DeWalt nailers have faster cycle times between shots than any of the other flywheel tools

Heat-Shrink Tubing
Wirefy's heat-shrink tubing is super reliable, high-quality, and great to have on hand.
This very capable miter saw weighs less than 30 lbs. and can cut a 2x12 @ 90 deg. and a 2x8 @ 45 deg. Precise cutting and smooth-adjusting controls make it a pleasure to use.
This camera is super useful for tracking down air leaks in buildings. The one-hand pistol grip arrangement frees your other hand for steadying yourself while maneuvering tricky job sites.
This heat gun is great for drying joint compound, primer and paint when patching drywall and plaster walls. Plus it can soften adhesive, get a very cold small engine to start, and shrink heat-shrink tubing.
The 10-in. Jobsite Saw PRO has a wider table, a new dust-control port, and a more versatile fence, along with the same reliable safety mechanism included in all SawStop tablesaws.
