(model XNB02Z, tool only) is an ideal solution for trim work, baseboard and crown molding installation, flooring and other woodworking applications. The XNB02Z is compact and powerful, and drives standard 16 gauge straight finish nails from 1” to 2-1/2” in length with a magazine capacity of up to 110 nails. Using an 18V LXT 5.0Ah battery (sold separately), the XNB02Z will drive up to 1, 000 finish nails on a single charge. Additional features include an anti-dry fire mechanism that is engineered to help prevent driving blanks and damage to work surface.

It's part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star protection Computer controls . Star protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the Star symbol on the battery indicating Star protection inside.

I read the reviews before I purchased this item. Almost went with DeWalt based on complaints. Went with Makita because of a recommendation. This Nail Gun is GREAT! Don't understand the negative reviews. The only time it has failed to perfectly set the nail was when the battery ran out of juice. I had 18V 2amp battery that came with a Makita Drill. Works just fine with the 2amp.

Installed 525 square feet of tongue and groove 3/4 ceiling and 400 square feet of 5/8” shiplap with very few issues. I had a couple of nail that didn’t set all the way but that may have been due to my inexperience. I used 1-1/2 stainless steel nails since this was an outdoor project. It will last all day on a 5Ah battery. It is quite heavy with the battery and nails so I would recommend a sturdy tool belt to hang it on when you need both hands. It is also loud so wear hearing protection.

Its not a perfect tool, but its a marked improvement over the cordless Brad. This nailer is much better balanced, and drives a ton of nails before needing a battery change. I just finished hanging crown in a few rooms of a house with it. I was pleased with the nail depth, its not as consistent as a pneumatic nailer but decent over all. I drove several hundred nails with it and only had go go back with a nail punch on 3 or 4 nails. The depth adjustment is really tough to do by hand, to get mine moving I needed pliers. I would recommend this gun, Its nice not having to drag out compressor. I do have one complaint / warning. It's crazy loud, make sure you have hearing protection especially in small rooms.

Bought for a small project that I did not want to lug a compressor to. By the time I tried it out Amazon will not let me return it. Never worked. Bought Dewalt nails with the gun... 1.5", 2" & 2.5" and it will not sink any nails more than 1". Bought Porter Cable nails in 1.5 and 2.5" and same issue. Now I have 5 boxes of nails and a gun that do not work, cost almost $500 and cannot be returned. I own a ton of Makita tools and they are usually the best. This is an expensive disappointment. Back to the compressor. I have returned this gun now 4 times and they sent me a new gun every time and none have worked. Absolutely HORRIBLE product and service.

Got it today and tested: it does not drive any nails; it misfires all the time. Maybe I got a defective item? I decide to return it for replacement. This review will be updated when I get a replacement. I love Amazon Prime defective item replacement policy - it just works! Review update: few days later received replacement Makita Finish Nailer, seems like it is working fine. So, this mean that Makita has some quality control issues. I have put around 300 nails size 2 1/2" - only one time was misfire. Also noticed that gun will stop working when all nails are used except the last 7 nails in magazine. I also noticed that the dial for regulating nails head deepness is not working very well: I have dialed it all the way to the limit to drive nail’s head as deep as possible into the wood but still have some nails with head above the wood panel's surface, so I must use a small hammer to put those nails heads down, not sure, but this could be another Makita quality control issue (there is a label on a tool “made in Japan” LOL), but I decided to keep the second Makita Finish Nailer. This Nailer is perfect for a small job but it is no way that it will replace my Senco Finish Nailer.

I have only ran two cull loads through this so far. Worked perfectly with pass load nails. I tried it upside down, since I saw complaints about that, no issues. I’m wondering if the people having problems are using off brand nails.

This is the first finish nailer I've owned. I like the 18V Makita tools. It feels like a non-battery nailer. It is very hefty and powerful. Have used it with various length nails. I like the ability to adjust the force to keep the head from being proud of the surface or below the surface. It also includes a rubber foot cover to protect surfaces. This is not a light unit, but I'd rather have a heavy hefty unit to do the job and last a long time. Highly recommend.

Perfect for quick trim work. Saves having to lug hoses and compressor to job.

Bought Jun 10th 2019. Have sent it to Makita Canada twice to repair. Only miss fires when held vertically then miss fires 30% of the nails. Makita's reply direct quote "we think due to the safety settings". Yes they said "we think" then just sent it back to me. They took so long to return I now can't send it back. very frustrated.

I have not used it yet - just a couple of shots to test it and it seems to work great
