  • Awesome nailer, does weigh a lot though
Style: Nailer Only
Great framing nailer, has more than enough power to slam 3" nails into 2x4's. The thing does weigh like 8 pounds so be aware that it'll tire out whatever arm you're using to run it. Other than that its easy to use and seems like a beast. Honestly you could probably put well over 500 nails using a single battery, very powerful. Well worth the money rather than using a hammer or spending less on a less powerful nailer. ... show more

  • Buy this Nailgun!!!
Style: Nailer Only
Yes! I recently picked up the Makita Cordless Framing Nailer, and it’s been a great addition to my tools. It’s powerful, consistent, and drives nails clean without the hassle of hoses or a compressor—no hoses to trip over is a big plus on the job. What really stands out is the battery life—one 5.0Ah battery lasts a long time, even with steady use. That makes it easy to stay productive without constantly swapping batteries. It’s well-built, reliable, and does exactly what you need it to do on framing jobs. The only frustration is that it won’t hold two sleeves of nails at once, so you end up reloading more often than you’d like. Overall, it’s a solid tool and one I’d recommend if you’re looking to go cordless without sacrificing performance. ... show more

  • Incredible! Run any brands batteries you want with it
Style: Nailer Only
Holy crap! I’ve wanted to get a battery nailer for so long but I was a framer for awhile so my standards were high. I only have dewalt batteries but that’s no problem, you can get an adapter for $12 on amazon to run dewalt batteries in here. I’ve used every major brands cordless nailer and wasn’t a fan of any. Even the older Gen makita and new Milwaukees can’t bump fire like this and drive 3 inch nails so deep. To be fair it’s on the heavier end of any I’ve used, but I dumped two racks of 3 inch and a rack of 2.5 inch some 4x and it only didn’t sink the nail once and it was my fault for not fully pressing the tip to the wood. That’s the catch with battery nailers, they’ll never be quite like air, you just need to take a quarter second longer to make sure you just put the weight of the gun into the wood. ... show more

  • Initial thoughts
Style: Nailer Only
I just got this frame nailer. I've been using my coworker's Milwaukee cordless frame nailer for years now so I've got the that to compare it to. The Makita Cordless Frame Nailer functions and feels just as good if not a little bit better. It fires like a shot gun, just no issues sinking ring shanks. It's got a safety nozzle surrounded with a few more teeth making it easier to toe nail when I need to. It's got a bigger pants hook as well as the massive fold out 2x4 hook. It's definitely just as heavy. Maybe a little heavier than the Milwaukee. So that's a negative, it does not solve the weight issue. However, I am in no way unhappy with my purchase. I will update this review after a good amount of time to see how it holds up but for now, Very powerful. Super convenient. Leagues better than hauling around a compressor and a tube in addition to the gun. ... show more

  • Awesome but. Capacity low
Style: Nailer Only
Great tool. Only trouble is the capacity. It holds 2 sleeves of nails when empty. But. Once you use until it won’t fire and it is time to reload it only holds 1 sleeve. You cannot put 2 to refill. So you have to shoot off the bottom half. Bummer. Otherwise live this thing. Plenty strong and battery lasts a long time. I used 21 degree 2-3 inch nails ... show more

  • Stop Staring at it. Your wife will love you for how fast you can get projects done
Style: Nailer Only
Works wonderfully for building shelves and making a coop. Make sure you get the nails that are not stacked on each other and it will not jam. Packs a punch and works well. It is a little heavy to put above your head. Lasted all day on one battery. Helped to get the job done a lot faster. Very much recommended. ... show more
