DEWALT DCN680B 20V MAX XR Cordless 18 GA Brad Nailer (Tool Only)

Overview

Meet the DEWALT DCN680B 18 GA Cordless Brad Nailer, a compact and efficient tool designed to handle trim work with confidence. It drives 5/8 inch to 2-1/8 inch brad nails, making it a versatile choice for decorative molding, casing, kitchen crown, and shoe molding. The combination of a brushless motor and a 20V MAX battery delivers dependable performance without the constraint of gas or hoses, so you can work anywhere with minimal setup.

Designed for cordless versatility, the DCN680B emphasizes lightweight balance, smooth operation, and consistent nail depth. Its micro nose improves line of sight and nail placement, helping you achieve cleaner joints and crisper profiles on fine trim.

A jam release lets you clear jams rapidly, so downtime stays to a minimum.
