#STAPLE GUN JAM SERIES#
There is nothing more frustrating than being in the middle of driving a series of framing nails and jamming up. The first feature we want to highlight is the tool-free jam release lever. Overall the CMCN621PL design and key-features can be described as basic and streamlined to get the job done.Īdjustability and Performance | Craftsman CMCN621PLĬraftsman included a number of integrated adjustment options into the CMCN621PL 21-degree nail gun. So we appreciated the CMCN621PL nose design even if there were some slippage issues (more in a bit). This may seem obvious but we’ve tested other nail guns where this wasn’t the case and we were concerned about tool longevity. The nose assembly seemed well designed and sturdy with many metal components.

The full circle enclosure can help in aligning nails (but it does obscure the line of sight too). The CMCN621PL 21-degree framing nailer also has a sturdy plastic nose safety protector. It was easy to see even during daylight when working overhead on strapping. The light works as both a low-battery and nail jam indicator light. We appreciated the multi-function status indicator light built into the back of the tool for easy viewing. The CMCN621PL is heavy at about 10 lbs with a 4Ah battery, but not that much more so than other cordless framing nailers we’ve used. We found the ergonomics to be comfortable and reasonably balanced. These features allowed us to use the CMCN621PL with almost no issues to stud out (and adding strapping to) a garage addition. It also offers an integrated tool-free jam release for quick recovery from fasteners jamming mid-work. The CMCN621PL also allows for a useful range of nail lengths from 2 – 3 -1/4 inches centered around a standard 10GA nail size. It offers an adjustable depth setting and is built around a long-lasting 20V cordless & brushless platform. It had many of the essential options we look for in a framing nailer we want to bring on the job site. The Craftsman 20V CMCN621PL 21-degree framing nail gun is a fully-featured framing nailer.

#STAPLE GUN JAM PRO#
Does Craftsman keep up with other black and red (or PRO favorite) tools? I often hear Craftsman being described as a mid-grade or Pro-entry tool. Craftsman may not be a PRO or high-end DIYers go-to manufacturer so we were excited to put them through their paces to see how they stacked up. Cordless nail guns are now a staple (pun intended) on most job sites and most brands are unveiling new and higher-performance offerings on a regular basis. We recently got the chance to test out a couple of Craftsman 20V Nail Guns, the Craftsman 20V Narrow Crown Stapler, and the 21º Framing Nailer.
