Why isn't there a cordless DEWALT siding nailer?

Currently, DEWALT does not offer a cordless siding nailer. Most siding nailers on the market, including DEWALT's popular models, are pneumatic, meaning they require an air compressor to operate. This is because siding installation often requires a significant amount of power and rapid firing, which pneumatic systems are well-suited for.

However, cordless framing nailers, such as the DEWALT DCN692B 20V MAX XR Brushless Dual Speed Framing Nailer, are sometimes used for light siding jobs. But for the best results with siding, especially for materials like fiber cement, pneumatic siding nailers like the DEWALT DW66C-1 are still the go-to choice.
