    Rarely gets jammed very good
    Excellent. Doesn’t jam works well. I have the old version. It’s not as good and it jams. I also have pass load gas and electric doesn’t compare to this excellent Makita nailer

    Great for DIYer; not so much for contractors
    I felt this product got a bad rep on some mixed reviews. In my mind, it’s perfect suitable for DIYers or jobs around the house. I’m not a contractor, but I can see why they would prefer a different tool.
    For jobs around the house or DIY projects, this will work perfectly. I used it for several different material combinations, including 3/4″ oak-to-3/4″ oak. Contrary to other reviews, I had no problems with the tool being under powered. At the highest power setting, the nose does have a tendency to follow into the wood too much and get stuck. Rolling the power down just a touch alleviates the problem entirely, and sacrifices no performance. So, if anything, you could claim it’s overpowered a little bit.
    If you’re a contractor and spending all day every day attaching molding, you’re going to notice the fire rate can be sluggish and the balance is terrible. Both of these factors only impact in high volume jobs. If you’re not doing high volume, you probably won’t notice.
    The one thing I wanted to avoid more than anything else was collecting a battery pack and charger for yet another tool brand. I already have three different brands of chargers; I really didn’t want to devote the space or money to another. The performance I get out of this tool meets all my needs and expectations, having used on a variety of DIY projects thus far. That said, the balance and fire rate are sub par for what I’ve come to expect from Makita, and I can see why contractors would want a different tool.

    Dependable
    I need a nail gun that I can get out quickly and make small repairs and get onto the next job. This Makita nail gun is absolutely top-of-the-line. I have the 16 gauge nail gun by Makita and now the 18 gauge and they’re both just fantastic.

    Works almost perfect
    I’ve had this nail gun for a bit now and it is definitely convenient to have over the standard air tools. Most of the time this nailer shoots correctly, but every 6-10 times when I shoot it, it ends up dry firing, but usually goes back to firing normal. Also sometimes on the first shot the nail won’t sink properly into whatever trim I’m shooting, so having a good nail set is a must.
    I really like the ergonomics of the gun. It’s very balanced, as opposed to a lot of similar brad nailers from other brands.
    Overall I like it a lot, but I would expect it to fire more consistently for the price point.

    Don’t waste your time!
    Significant delay when firing nails. Tool is very heavy and bulky for an 18 ga brad nailer. Cumbersome to use. Other guys I work with use the Milwaukee brad nailer with the Makita battery converter. I’ve used theirs before and the Milwaukee is basically flawless compared to the Makita.
    I’ve been a finish carpenter for 22 years. This tool is bulky, heavy, and cumbersome to use. Not worth it. Buy the Milwaukee with the Makita battery converter.

    Makita 18 guage trim gun.
    I love the gun. I had a ryobi but after some use it broke. I have all makita cordless tools and corded. One thing the design is a little odd when you put the battery in it loses all balance

    Just the right tool for the job
    I love the portability and power that this unit puts out. I see a lot of people complaining about the weight and bulkiness. It’s not a pneumatic tool so you are not even comparing apples to apple. If you are doing some DIY stuff around the house, this unit does the job. It is heavier then a standard pneumatic tool, but I’m building an entire house so I’m satisfied with it.

    Great
    We like this and it’s added to the tools we use often.

    I bought this slightly used Brad Nailer and I absolutely love it. No more air compressor and hose to tag along. I love that it is quiet compared to my old compressor. Very handy to just use anytime without all the accessories of an air powered nailer.

    It works well. Many reviews mention lack of depth when sinking nails. I think they failed to realize you can adjust the depth setting with the dial. I nailed on the casing around a large window and two doors as soon as I got it. After 2 or 3 nails, I got the depth right. I used 2″ nails on 1″ MDF, and the nails sunk 99.9% of the time after going through 2 sleeves of nails. The one time was because of a knot I think.
    I recommend it. I was using a 5amh battery and two sleevs of nails didn’t dent the battery

    This gun works well but it is heavy. Just something we have to get used to. Still better than dragging an air hose behind you.

    Do not buy from this seller. I bought a used Makita tool. I asked the seller if the tool worked well. His answer was yes. I received the tool and it was defective, he refunded me but not the shipping costs. So it cost me $25 to receive it at my home and $25 to return it. So I paid $50 for nothing.

    Très utile et pas besoin de compresseur
