ALLOYPOWER 2-in-1 Brad Nailer & Stapler Kit vs DeWalt DCN680 Cordless Brad Nailer
The DeWalt DCN680 is the better nailer for anyone doing real trim work. It drives 18-gauge brads up to 2-1/8 in, has a brushless motor and a tool-free depth and jam release, and owners consistently report clean countersinks in pine and oak. The ALLOYPOWER is a 2-in-1 brad nailer and stapler that covers upholstery and light DIY, but its 1-1/4 in nail ceiling and reported depth problems mean many brads get finished by hand. Buy the DeWalt for finish carpentry; buy the ALLOYPOWER if you want one battery tool that also shoots 1/4 in crown staples.
- Choose the ALLOYPOWER if you want one cordless tool that shoots both 18-gauge brads and 1/4 in crown staples for upholstery, cabinets and small repairs.
- Choose the DeWalt DCN680 if you are hanging trim, casing or crown and need long brads driven flush every time.
