Does the DCN920B come with a battery?

No. It is sold as a bare tool, so you need a DeWalt 20V MAX battery and charger separately. DeWalt's coverage figures assume a 5.0Ah pack.

What nails does it take?

It uses 21-degree plastic-collated framing nails up to 3-1/2 inches long. Paper-collated and other angle nails will not fit.

How many nails can it drive per charge?

DeWalt rates it for up to 530 square feet of subflooring or up to 100 feet of wall framing per charge with a 5.0Ah battery. Real output depends on nail size and wood.

Is it faster than a pneumatic framing nailer?

It drives sequential shots quickly thanks to the active flywheel, but a good pneumatic gun still edges it on raw speed. The gain is in setup: no compressor or hose to move and connect.

Can it do toe-nailing and subfloor work?

Yes. DeWalt lists wall framing, subfloor installation and toe-nailing as its intended jobs, and the 3-1/2 inch capacity covers standard framing nails.

Does it work with DeWalt's older 20V batteries?

It runs on the DeWalt 20V MAX battery platform. Smaller packs will work but cut the number of nails driven per charge.

What reviewers say

4.7 / 520 ratings

Rated 4.7 out of 5 from 20 ratings, buyers treat the DCN920B as a capable hose-free framing gun that keeps pace in sequential driving. The common caveats are its weight and the need for big batteries to get through a day's framing.

About the DeWalt DCN920B 20V MAX 21° Plastic Framing Nailer

The DeWalt DCN920B is a cordless framing nailer that drives 21 degree plastic collated nails without a compressor or hose. It runs on the DeWalt 20V MAX battery platform and is used for wall framing, subfloor installation, toe-nailing and general structural fastening.

It has a brushless motor and an active flywheel that stays active for 6 seconds after the trigger is released. This helps reduce the delay between shots in rapid sequential mode. The nailer drives nails up to 3-1/2 inches long. The magazine is made of high-strength magnesium, and the nose is redesigned for toe-nailing at steep angles.

The springs and driver blade are field serviceable. The nailer is Chip-Ready for the TOOL CONNECT system, and the tracking chip is sold separately. With a 5.0Ah battery, it is rated for up to 530 square feet of subflooring or up to 100 feet of wall framing per charge. It is also rated for up to 72% more sub-flush driving than the previous generation.
