Bought the 18 gauge and 15 gauge da nailer yesterday. Put them to work today broken before the day was up. The culprit is the ridiculous thin brittle and flimsy thumb wheel used to set the depth adjustment. Just too thin too brittle and fell apart and stopped working. Utterly crap design. Big fail and I am disappointed. I already returned them for a full refund. Nice idea on the safety and the point but leu down on the execution and details and build quality.

First I’ve heard of a review on these. Don’t use air myself, but that can’t be good.

That’s a real bummer, it’s going to be interesting if others start posting about this.  I am in the market for another nailer, was going to get air powered like my other one, but the battery powered ones are looking very tempting.
