Not Worth the Industrial Investment

Bought this finish nailer for my Industrial and Scientific work only to be disappointed. After I put it to the test, it started to jam periodically, making my work more complicated.

Pros
  • Powerful and reliable performance with a maintenance-free motor
Cons
  • Expensive compared to similar models from other brands

Insufficient power

I have 10 Makita tools, 8 cordless, 2 electric. This is the first and only tool from Makita that let me down. Got this to replace a 25 year old handyman.

Pros
  • Efficient motor design gives better power
Cons

It drives nails perfectly even into 3/4" thick oak. While I simultaneously hold the gun firmly against the material, it drives the nails to a very constant depth. Depth adjusters I have the oak bar and 3/4" oak with…

Pros
  • Built-in air gun provides a comfortable airflow for cleaning work surfaces
Cons
  • Easily torn
