Our take on the DeWalt DWFP71917 2-1/2" 16GA Precision Point Finish Nailer

The DeWalt DWFP71917 is a pneumatic 16-gauge finish nailer that drives 2-1/2-inch nails for trim, casing, crown molding and other finish carpentry. Its Precision Point nose lets you place the nail exactly where you want it, and the tool comes with a 1/4-inch swivel fitting, sample nails, extra no-mar tips and a carrying case. It suits trim carpenters and serious DIYers who already own an air compressor. Against rivals like the Bostitch and Senco 16-gauge nailers, it is a solid mid-tier pick, but its 3.5-star rating from a small number of buyers suggests mixed satisfaction.
