Review on 🔨 Makita XTP02Z Cordless Lithium Ion Nailer by Warren Hess

TLDR: Don't waste your money on this! Insufficient power leads to frequent jams, does not always fully insert the nails, and eventually becomes unusable as jamming damages delicate parts of the tool. A 23g nail gun, but it's too fickle to be worth your time and money. I've had it for about a year now and use it professionally as a carpenter. From the start it seemed like it didn't have the strength to constantly drive nails into plywood, let alone hardwood. It jammed at least once a day, and now it's basically useless because every time it jams, it damages the demolition hammer head (as well as other parts that keep everything in line). Jams also take time while you fiddle with unscrewing the top plate and removing the broken nail. Now it's so damaged I can't even nail the 3/4" dowels into the plywood. I can nail 2x4 soft pine needles, but what's the point? (You'll need that much to remove plugs!) Cons: - Inconsistent nail depth - Prone to jamming - Pins max length 1 3/8" (compressor nailers can be up to 2") long - Basically useless as a professional tool My theory is that the design lacks performance, which is almost all cons explained. Makita must have known this when they designed/developed the tool so they set the maximum length to 1 3/8" instead of longer nails. The low power leads to frequent jamming when nailing into medium hard parts like Plywood or hardwood.So frequent jamming can damage an already crappy gun to the point of rendering it useless.I've since switched to a Dewalt Flexvolt air compressor to keep things relatively cordless, and ver flip her 2" nail gun No problem shooting 1 1/2" pins through a 3/4" walnut into a 3/4" FJ Pine Base all day long.
