DCN 692 framing nailer 50-90mm. The first battery-driven framing nailer, i believe. Quite heavy at 4,1 kg even without nails. 105 joule stroke force. Haven't used it for anything but driving home some nails to test the machine. Uses D-nails or offset roundheads collimated (paper or wire) @ 34 deg. Sequential and bump mode, bump mode only recommended up to 67mm nail length. Manufacturer says so. Nifty lever to reset pin in case of jamming. Easy to clear when jamming occurs. Having never used a framing nailer before, these are my first impressions: strong bugger. Sunk 90mm ringed nails flush to the surface from the get-go. Was surprised by the recoil. Didn't quite sink 90mm nails at an angle, but that was probably due to user error. Used 67mm in bump mode, no problem there. Had a jam, it was easy to open the 'muzzle'and clear the jam. Took maybe five minutes cuz i forgot the machine has an Allan key onboard. So i had to search for one. Used the gun only on 2-by yellow pine and had the problem that the strike force split the wood if used near the end. Probably normal.

I still like the older DeWalt routers. Almost as much as the original Elus.
In Oz & also I believe in North America the DW621 has a larger shank capacity of 1/2". In the rest of the world, for some bizarre reason this router takes the smaller 615 series (Elu MOF 96) collets with 1/4" & 8mm Max capacity. In these markets, one must move up to the similar but more powerful & expensive DW622 for larger bit capacity.

Care to write a little review, jimbo? Well I have had the big one for a few years. It has had one fairly costly repair due to some sort of problem with the piston. Having said that it's had some serious hammer over the 3 or so years I have had it. Done loads of framing and sheeting. Works fine with cheeper nails too. The stud hook is really useful too. I use with the 5amp batt and has a good run time about a day of solid use. The second fix gun is very similar.

Also the 10.8v green laser from dewalt is great. Love not having to charge aa batt for it and running out mid job.

An update on the framing nailer. It's died again and not repairing it this time and switched to a new pasload instead.

Update: been using the nail gun for purlins and rafters in rather inclement weather, i.e. -6C/+2C. I was really, really surprised about battery life. Worked about 6 hours (non-professionally) in cold weather, about 800 nails 75mm, changed battery once, but only to be on the safe side, battery wasn’t flat. Noticed also that my friends’ compressor-driven nailer weights about half of the DeWalt..
