Had this unit for a couple of years. It's ok. Wind up kinda slow, and it's bulky. Sold it and switched to Milwaukee. Much better brad nailer overall. And this is from someone who has pretty much all team yellow stuff.

I never had the Dewalt brad nailer, but I have all Dewalt tools (over 15 tools) and I bought the Milwaukee brad nailer. It is awesome and more ergonomic than the Dewalt.
I use Dewalt batteries in it with the Dewalt/Milwaukee battery adapter from Amazon. Never had an issue with it.
I have the 20V version of this and it's pretty freaking great. I haven't used this one but I love having a nailer. I also don't have experience with other brands but I love the convenience of no cords or hoses. Mine takes a fraction of second to spool up and has a good amount of power.

Suggestions on which nailers to get as I ratchet up home projects. Gonna build a shed with ship lap cedar siding.
I know I need a framing one, but unsure which other one I need (15,16, or 18g)
I suggest getting the 16 gauge. It's very versatile, strong enough to hold up ship lap, tongue and groove and interior/exterior trim, while having a small entry hole. If you go to a 15 gauge the holes are much larger and it is a higher risk of splitting thinner material. You would blow apart ship lap with a 15 gauge unless the material was 3/4" or thicker.
The Dewalt brad nailer gets decent ratings, while the Milwaukee and Ryobi are both better liked. At least in my reading of reviews.
The Craftsman version of this same brad nailer has been $99 at Lowes for months. Unfortunately, Dewalt batteries will not fit it. But you can get a Craftsman battery and charger kit for $99, maybe with another free Craftsman tool or for even less depending on sales and clearance.

15/16 is typically for things like trim (baseboards, qtr round).
18 is for fine detail trim and cabinets.
