    • Impeccable Makita tool, seamless Amazon import.
Review Image by Neil, Jhb, ZA
Seamless import to ZA, not available on the local Makita inventory. No hassle with import duties and customs. Delivered within a week from placing the order. All the costs were included in final payment. Delivered in an Amazon box, packaging 100% intact. Quality as expected from Makita, smaller as the bigger 16G and 18G nail guns, smooth operation, as effective as a train on a track. ... show more

    • Good nailer
I am a professional trim carpenter. I used this on a large trim job that required quite a lot of pin nails. Makita makes really nice pneumatic air nailers. I have multiple from different brands, and I have recently been enjoying the Makitas for job site work. Make sure you put a few small drops of oil in. Admittedly not my very best Nailer, but very good. Good for the price point. ... show more

    • Totally happy with this nailer - still
I purchased this to help shoot down a 3/4" hardwood floor installation. When you get close to walls and in tight spots there is no room to hit the flooring nailer. This little gut works like a champ. Puts 1 3/8" 23 gauge headless nails all the way through the asian walnut and into the floor. A few of these make it very difficult to pull back up, and the nails are so small there is no need to fill the holes, and there is nothing to countersink. Fantastic. Not a single jam. It would be nice if it shot 2" nails (brads), but to be fair, it just isn't worth the extra cost. This will work great on all of the 1/2" and 3/4" finish work that I need to do, and will even reach through 1/2" work, past 1/2" drywall, and touch studs with the remaining 3/8" or so. Ideal for tacking in place. Great little gun. UPDATE: October 22, 2018 Okay, I have to confirm my initial assessment. I love this gun. Not a single jam in over a month of use. I even like the little air blast feature built into the handle - I thought it was silly until I got used to having it there. It is light weight and does a great job on door trim, baseboard, and wainscoting. Another quality Makita product. Update: December 12, 2018 I'm still loving this nailer. I have used it extensively on baseboard, trim, and crown molding. It's a champ, and pays for itself in speed and not having to fill as many holes! I have yet to experience a jam. Just make sure you give it a few drops of oil each time you load. It's great. ... show more

    • Great tool but didnt last too long
I am a professional cabinet installer and use my nail guns everyday. I bought this gun to replace a Senco 23 gauge nailer. The Makita is a great gun. It shoots nails very well and feeds without any jams. The power is great without any kickback even when shooting 1 3/8" nails through 1" hardrock maple. The only complaint is that the guns catch on the nail magazine is made of plastic and broke after two months of use. This would be a great gun for anyone who wants a quality nail gun at a value price. ... show more

    • Excellent precision. Does NOT jam.
I’ve tried other battery operated, or cheaper pin nailers. What a waste. This Makita nailer is A++, very robust, it always works, never jams and is super precise. An excellent tool. Update: After 3+ years of frequent use in a range of temps and humidity, and normal/heavy wear & tear on projects. Not one single jam, clog or failure. I just finished pin nailing 25+ picture frames. This thing is so rock solid and precise. It likely the best tool in all my Makita collection. It’s amazing how this thing has not jammed nails ONCE in the hundreds if not thousands of shots. Also very light and compact. Paired with a compact battery operated mini-compressor, it’s a must have for any finishing work. Keep clean. Use good pins and this thing can last on and on. ... show more

    • Complete Failure
Made it through one day of work, got a jam, cleared the jam and now it does not have enough pressure to push a nail through the gun, I have owned only Makita products since the 90's and this is the first dud I have ever owned from Makita. I took the gun completely apart, found a secondary jam, cleared that and now it still does not have enough air running through it to cycle. Changed air compressor, air lines and lubed her up and guess what? It still doesn't fire. I will be switching to the Dewalt version of this tool as i do not want to drop $189+ dollars for another one. Of course this happened right after the 30 day Amazon return period was over.... ... show more

    • Oil will keep this gun happy along with proper air pressure
I’ve had this nailer for almost a year now and have had no issues other than problems with the quality of the pin nails I’ve used. Read the instructions on the use of this gun people! Oil will keep this gun happy along with proper air pressure. The instructions call for 1 drop every 50 nails you shoot. I usually just put 4-5 drops in before I use it every time. This is not an oil less gun. I’ve been running 95psi out of my compressor and it has done great! ... show more
