Customer Review: A great time saver !! SHOULD BE RATED 5 STARS !!!! OOPS
Summary: 3 Stars
As a professional trim carpenter, I put my tools through the paces. I was hesitant to purchase this gun for a couple of reasons,
1. It's a good bit heavier than my senco 15 gauge guns
2. I did not know how it would hold up over time
3. Uses 16 gauge nails, a pain having
to buy different types (15ga and 16ga) of
trim nails for different guns.
I'm glad I bit the bullet, this gun is a timesaver on small jobs, nothing aches a trim carpenter like having to roll out extension cords, air hoses, and a compressor, to go in and set one door that was back ordered, or nail in a piece of base or two , or a little shoe molding . It's a lot of work rolling all this out , then back up just to do 5 or 10 minutes work.
So the main reason I purchased this gun, was not out of necessity but out of LAZINESS.... MIGHT AS WELL BE HONEST , RIGHT!!
For what I bought it for , it's perfect, a REAL time saver.
Also, since I bought it, I have talked with two trim crews who have went to using these trim guns exclusively , just so they wouldn't have to hassle with compressors and hoses. Both crews said they have had NO problems with the guns, not even a broken driver, I was glad to hear that. In all honesty, I would rather use my pneumatics on a big job (the dewalt is heavy to use all day),but for a small job this gun is near perfect.
I would highly recommend this to DIY'ers, homeowners, etc.
It would be a steep purchase at first, but you would not have to fool with air hoses, extension cords, or lugging around a compressor..... best of all is all the tools Dewalt offers in their 18v tool line.

Description of DEWALT DC616KA 1-1/2-Inch to 2-1/2-Inch 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless 16-Gauge Straight Finish Nailer Kit
No compressor. No hoses. No kidding. And no sacrifices in speed or power, either. There's absolutely no comparison between this performer and the fuel-cell powered competition, which we thought was a great innovation. But there's no costly fuel cell to replace on this tool?-just pop on a recharged XRP battery and get back on the job. The only difference you'll feel between this and a traditional pneumatic is that you're not tethered to an air hose. It's just as fast and fires just as powerfully into both soft and hard joints. We love that you can choose bump or sequential mode for precision or speed, something most nailers don't offer, and the integrated headlight is another impressive addition, really lighting up your workpiece even in the worst conditions. There's a fantastic six-position numbered dial to reference your depths, so you can move easily between, for example, baseboard and crown molding without struggling to reset the depth. DeWalt's covered what would have been our main safety concern: An air tool can't fire without a hose, but what's to keep this one from being accidentally fired? They've built in a contact trip lock-off. We were pleased with the troubleshooting process, too?the nosepiece is clear and very accessible, letting you clear a jammed fastener without screwdrivers or wrenches, though we couldn't get it to jam for us. Rear loading is simple and fast, and it accepts most brands of 16-gauge nails. It's built tough for the job site, but the home hobbyist would love this tool. Just hook it on your tool belt and go; it's truly one of the coolest tools we've seen and the kit has everything you need: a one-hour charger, two 18V XRP batteries, reversible belt hook, no-mar tip, safety glasses and the heavy-duty kit box.--Kris Jensen-Van HesteFinish Nailers
