It works well and takes care of your needs. I have this Makita brad nailer. In my opinion, Makita tools are the best available in the market. There are a number of their products that I use and have never had any issues with them. Before you purchase too many screws or nails, you should check the instructions from this Nailer and determine the proper gauge, length and material (stainless steel) before you purchase too many of those products. The Makita AF505N brad nailer can be fitted with a number of different brand names as long as they are compatible with the Makita AF505N. This nailer is great fun to use.

A 18 gauge nailer such as this is available. Unlike other gauge brads, it cannot be used with other gauges. 182-year-olds aren't safe, as it shoots them to pieces Measured in inches. I've just finished the trim for an entire house, along with cabinets and other things.
Driving brads through oak is what I've been doing. In terms of power, the gun seems to be capable of taking care of this. If you do not wait between shots, it is possible you will get a red eye. 120 psi is the maximum pressure my compressor can reach. It may be that you are asking far too much of the 23GA by reading between the lines of your question. There is no need to use a brad to hold a stair tread or riser in place, unless you are gluing the pieces to substrates and just need to attach them temporarily. This will probably work for crown moldings if you use several brads to increase the overall holding strength. Again, if I were to install permanently, I would use glue as well as There are no heads on these brads, and they have little hold They have the advantage that, once in place, they are almost completely invisible, so the sanding and finishing can proceed without the need for What it is intended for is what I like about the gun. Neither a 23 ga 2" brad nor an 18 ga nail can substitute for each other. used this nailer to reinstall the shoe mold in my living room after the oak flooring in my living room had been refinished. A coat of varnish completes the look. A special effort was not made to keep the brads hidden. Those who need them must really seek them out. As long as the wooden members do not move, this gun and brad system is fine. However, treads and risers will be able to move and eventually unravel. the brackets don't fully drive, it is recommended to slow down and let the pressure rebuild if the compressor is small and single-cylinder or pancake shaped.

As a trim carpenter, I am in demand. The gun has been with me for about a year, and I use it nearly I've had a few jams here and there, usually from shooting into a screw behind the sheetrock, etc, but it's incredibly easy to fix them. This has been fired thousands of times with brass sizes 1" 1 3/4" and 2", and I have never noticed a difference in the results. A red ring shows up when there are only a few nails left, but there is no dryfire lockout. It is great that there is a hard case. In the past, I would keep a few mailers in a soft bag, but since I bought the hard case I can keep it in great shape. On the jobsites where I work, the most common nailers are porter cable, senco, and dewalt, so my makita nailer is never confused with one of them. My makita gun is lighter and more compact than most other brands, and features more metal parts than other brands' plastic. Although the nose is not the smallest on the market, I have never had a problem getting into tight spaces like tongue and grooves This is a great gun for a very.
There is nothing good about this nailer. The program is used professionally by me. When compared to the Bostitch or Ridgid, the HBM is heavy. Every day, it needs to be oiled. As for bump fire, it doesn't have it. Almost no toenailing can be done because of the safety. A random misfire is possible. We have run 5 ridgids with no maintenance and they have fired tens of thousands of nails. It was a great experience with Makita tools in general that led me to get this one. There is a serious need for an update to this product.
It is said that this brad nailer will be particularly difficult to use on hardwoods like oak. I tested the device on oak base and case molding, and even 3/4" oak planking, and had no issues with it Drilled through perfectly straight, the brads looked perfect. By nailing all of the above products to scrap 2x4, I was able to get a consistent depth of penetration every time. I wasted a lot of time with a battery-powered nailer (not Makita) because I did not want to buy a compressor as well. I made a mistake there. I absolutely love this nailer and Makita's little AC001 compressor. This is just the right tool for an amateur DIYer like myself. It would have been better if I had chosen this path from the beginning.
To replace an 18 gauge Porter Cable nailer, I bought this product. It is getting harder and harder for Porter Cable's products to meet the requirements. It seems like the Makita nailer is very similar to the PC, but the only difference is A solid feel emanates from the Makita. Normally there is little or no recoil from it. Compared with the PC, I expect this one to last much longer. Among the strange aspects of the Makita is one particular feature. This is the lock on the strike and it is required to secure it so that misfires don't occur. The intent of this post is not to complain. In the same way, it is simply different in that if you're not paying attention to the way you install the cover, you can partially install it. The last time I did this was The last time I did it, I never did The nails that I have on hand can be used and I am more confident that alignment will be achieved. It has been over ten years since I bought my Makita 18V cordless lithium ion drill. My Makita miter box is almost 50 years old and still cuts well. I use it as my go-to app You will need to The 18ga nailer is the tool that I chose because of its features. Amazon is where I purchased this tool.
As I have mentioned, I have taken advantage of My friends who work in the construction industry swear by the Hitachi 18 ga brad nailer every time. As a user, I can attest to its decent nature. In addition to its light weight, the Hitachi is also very convenient. Lastly, let's talk about the Makita, a real In every way - from the material used to build the gun, to the sound of the nail leaving, to the intensity it sets the nails - it is a much superior gun than the Hitachi. With the Makita, the nail rack holder is made of aluminium, while that of the Hitachi is plastic. I have on the Makita is the design could be better, especially in corners where the bottom of the gun clips hits the wall before the tip of the gun does. There are ways to work around this issue but I believe this could easily be improved by the manufacturer. I think this is a great gun, it is of excellent In terms of quality, Makita doesn't make anything that isn't high-end.
The toilet paper holder I built in my wood shop for my wife just came to its end. In order to assist with the project, I decided it was time to add a brad nailer to my shop tool collection. Hence, I bought the Makita AF505N. It has served me very well. Putting the Makita together was a snap, and the instructions are easy to follow . My wife's toilet paper holder looks great, and went together efficiently. Even though there are cheaper nailers on the market, the quality of the nailer makes a little bit of extra money worth it. A nailer like this can be used for a long time.
As far as I am concerned, this is the worst purchase I have made on Amazon in the past eight years. The brad nailer from Makita was extremely unreliable and was virtually unusable, so it's not the fault of Amazon. However, while it feels like quality and it looks like quality since it's Makita, I cannot consistently drive nails through the baseboard with the thing. Then I hooked up my old Harbor freight pneumatic nailer to the compressor, we were good to go. I thought something was wrong until I connected my old compressor. I'm now wondering why I bought this when I have a much better $29 air nailer from Harbor freight that works just fine.
Aside from not being consistent enough and not having enough power to drive 1, I don't see much point in it. Whether it is a 5 inch or a 2 inch18 gauge nail, the safety trigger on the head gets in the way and has a very flimsy feel, misfires, and even when it has been oiled, does not improve the action with it. In fairness to Makita, I give this tool a pass since I have never had any problem with one of their other products. However, this Brad nailer is a total waste of time and money. If I use a trim nailer again, I may just get a return or something, but I'm going to try the rigid.
This gun is better than my last one because the rail that holds the nails is metal so it shouldn't break like the plastic one did. In the small house that we just finished trimming, I've used generic nails and it jammed 5 or 6 times. It never jams with the nailer the fellow works with. He has had it for a few years and he uses it often. Neither the nail nor the gun seems to be causing the problem. It's not a big deal to loosen the jambs because they're easily dislodged.
