  • Side-loading magazine with a sequential trigger system
  • Adjustable belt hook
  • Rear exhaust

Cons (Brad)

  • The air may leak
  • Not so good with 2” nails
  • Heavy work cause problems

Solution for the cons (Brad)


The air leak problem is very uncommon and changing the hose or port would solve the problem easily. Some said that they had trouble sinking 2” nails. We say, check your air pressure and adjust it correctly. It may solve the problem. To be honest, this nailer works best for small or home projects. Heavy-duty works can cause some difficulties.We’re halfway through our review of DEWALT DWC1KIT-B Brad Nailer Combo Kit. Now, let’s check out the Dewalt 6 gallon air compressor review.At first, get your hands on a quick specification.

Pros (Air Compressor)

  • Very low noise level
  • Easily portable
  • Best for indoor use
  • Easily starts even in the cold weather

Solutions for the cons (Air Compressor)


Actually, this air compressor is good that we couldn’t complain. The problem we are showing here isn’t something that occurs naturally. If you drain it after every use, you’ll be free of internal corrosion of the tank.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: Can you tell me the hose length that is included in the Dewalt air compressor and nail gun combo?
    A: Yes, it’s almost 20’ long or maybe more. 
  • Q: What is the origin of the Dewalt compressor and nail gun combo?
    A: The air compressor is made in the USA but the components are sourced from different countries. The brad nailer and all of its accessories are made in China.
  • Q: Is it possible to run a framing nailer with this compressor?
    A: Yes, possible.
  • Q: Will I be able to do subfloor installation?
    A: No, we believe you have to use framing nailers for that kind of work. The nailer in the combo kit Dewalt made is a brad nailer. It is good for paneling or trims jobs.
  • Q: Will I get a hard case or tool bag?
    A: No, you’ll not get any of those.
  • Q: Can I use sandblaster with this compressor?
    A: With the right adapter, you can use your sandblaster. But this air compressor’s tank is not so big. So, you might be stopped too often to fill up the tank.

Bottom Line


This DEWALT DWC1KIT-B Brad Nailer Combo Kit is a great package for light projects. The air compressor offers oil-free maintenance which is a great relief. You are getting everything you need to get started in one pack.
There are some complaints about the quality of the brad nailer though. If you can stretch your budget a little bit, you can buy those two tools separately. It’s totally your decision but we also recommend that you can go with this one.
