Overview
DEWALT's DCN680B skips the compressor and hose, running cordless off a 20 volt battery at a tool weight of 6.2 pounds, and it draws strong monthly purchase volume among nailers.
Battery powered nailers trade the hose and compressor of pneumatic models for cordless freedom, and the DCN680B fits that mold on DEWALT's 20 volt platform. At 6.2 pounds it sits in typical range for a cordless nailer, light enough for overhead or repeated use without a compressor tethering the job.

Who it's for
Tradespeople and DIYers who want cordless nailing without running an air hose, especially those already on DEWALT's 20 volt battery system. Buyers who need a pneumatic nailer for high volume framing may prefer a corded, compressor fed model instead.
