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

  • Very good nailer
Very good and easy to use gun. Works well and causes no problems. I recommend it 100%.

  • Not One Jam
I've had several finish nailers, and so far this is the best one. I did a car siding project on a 13' x 20' ceiling (so far) and I didn't have one jam. I did use quality stainless nails though. Although this is a straight nailer, the shoe is straight on the back side for face nailing and angled on the front side for hiding your nail heads on the tongue. This brings me to the anti-mar tip. This is an annoying little rubbery plastic piece of junk that keeps falling off. Since I was nailing on the tongue and any marring would be hidden, it didn't matter for me. I ended up just leaving it off. So it received four stars from me because of that. If that was fixed, I would have given five stars. ... show more

  • Can't beat it at the price
You can always get a nailer that costs a whole lot more, but why? They all do the same thing. I may not be driving thousands of nails per day - so this fits my needs the best.

  • 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

  • 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

  • Great gun and seems quite durable
Has been a great gun so far, have fired a couple thousand nails through it and it hasn’t had any jams or problems. Only gripe is that the rubber tip does seem to want to come off easier than on the Makita 15g nailer. I don’t mind the magazine or nail loading on this at all, didn’t give any trouble even loading a small amount of 1.5” nails. Overall really glad I picked this up ... show more
