DEWALT DWC1KIT-B Brad Nailer and Compressor Combo Kit
The DEWALT DWC1KIT-B pairs the DWFP12231 18-gauge brad nailer with the DWFP55126 6-gallon compressor, giving you a complete fastening setup for trim, casing, baseboards, and furniture repair. The nailer drives 18-gauge nails from 5/8 in (16 mm) to 2 in (50 mm), while the compressor delivers 2.6 SCFM at 90 PSI with a 165 max PSI tank, so you have steady air for the nailer and room for other shop tasks.
Finding the Right DWC1KIT-B Pressure Setting
Start your brad nailer around 70–80 PSI and adjust up to 90 PSI if the nails are not seated flush. Harder woods or longer nails generally need more pressure; soft woods may only need 60 PSI to avoid over-driving. The compressor's 2.6 SCFM at 90 PSI keeps up with rapid nailing without long recovery waits, and the tool-free depth-of-drive adjustment lets you fine-tune head depth without picking up another tool.
Tool-Free Adjustments and Low-Maintenance Design
The DWFP12231 brad nailer has a tool-free jam release for quick clearing, a rear exhaust to blow debris away from your work, and a magnesium body that keeps it light and durable. The removable non-marring nose tip protects trim surfaces, and the adjustable belt hook keeps the nailer close at hand. The oil-free pump on the compressor means no routine oil checks, just drain the tank after use to keep it ready for the next job.

Product Details
Complete Fastening Setup in One Kit
What's in the box? The DWFP12231 brad nailer, DWFP55126 compressor, and everything you need to start fastening trim, paneling, and crafts. The 6-gallon tank holds enough air for hundreds of nails before the motor cycles, and its 165 max PSI gives you headroom for other air tools like staplers or air blowers.
Brad Nailer PSI Quick Reference
If you're nailing soft pine trim, set the regulator to 60–70 PSI. For hardwood or 2-inch brads, increase to 80–90 PSI. Let the compressor build to max pressure, then adjust the regulator while the trigger is pulled to get an accurate reading.

What pressure setting should I use for the DWC1KIT-B brad nailer?

How do I clear a jam in the nailer?
Use the tool-free jam release—no wrenches needed. Open the jam release and remove the stuck nail.

Solid performer for trim work
I've used this for baseboards and crown molding. The nailer is accurate and the compressor is quieter than my old one. It's a good setup for weekend projects.

Forty years in construction, this is a keeper
I've been swinging hammers since the 70s, and this Dewalt combo is as reliable as any I've owned. The 18-gauge nailer drives consistently without jams, and the 6-gallon tank holds pressure well. It's portable enough to throw in the truck, and the controls are straightforward. The only gripe is the hose that comes with it is a bit short, but I replaced it. For the price, you're getting a lot. I've recommended it to my son already.

Perfect for my workshop
Bought this to set up my home shop. The compressor cycles quickly and the nailer has never failed me. Handles 2-inch nails with ease. Great value.
