    • Superior quality to Dewalt
I first bought Dewalt's version of this product and was shocked at how poor the quality was. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra couple of bucks on the Makita. The overall quality is significantly better.

Works well, it finished my project when a porter cable finisher stopped working 1/2 way.

    • Very powerful, and sets nails accurately and consistently even through 3/4" oak
This is the first pnuematic nailer I've purchased, and I was pleasantly surprised at the power. Reviews that criticize various nail guns for setting nails inconsistently often cite hard woods like oak as particularly problematic. I tested this on scraps of oak molding, and also on pieces of 3/4" thick oak plank. It drives the nails perfectly straight through even the 3/4" thick oak. At the same time, as long as I pressed the gun firmly against the material, it sets the nails at a very consistent depth. After a little trial and error with the depth setting dial, I was nailing oak molding and the 3/4" oak to pieces of 2x4 with very consistent and accurate depth. I'm just a DIYer, but this feels like a very professional quality tool. ... show more

    • Legit 16 ga straight nailer
This 16 ga straight nailer is money! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the hand grip is rolling up after shooting 100 or so nails. Definitely worth the money!

    • Outstanding
I have never used a nail gun until today. I have however used plenty of Makita tools in the past. One that I use quite often is an angle grinder. I have had it for 7 years now and it has taken a beating. Makita is on the same level as Dewalt in my mind This nailer is very light and gave me zero issues. I also used 2" nails in it so it supports nails other than 2.5" ones. I used a Bostitch pancake compressor and it worked just fine with that ... show more
