MAKITA FINALLY HAVE A CORDLESS FRAMING NAILER!!! ua-cam.com/video/UgEfSRroOIA/v-deo.html
Woah, This gun looks awesome. Great review man.
It's good but many people don't seem happy it doesn't take 50mm brads. My favourite, and a tool I think would be handy for you is the XGT flush cut saw ua-cam.com/video/scXeVFHOUUQ/v-deo.html It's a great little saw!
@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL I'm watching your video now, that saw 😍
Scott brown carpentry bought me here, love this review 🔥🔥
Great review mate !! Solid XGT release from Makita, and made in Japan... sweet. As you said the compact size for this kind of tool is a big plus, It might be even smaller than Milwaukee's. Also it is quieter but I prefer the Hikoki's sound. I don't know why but I love the sound of their nailers :). Thanks for the review!
I prefer the Hikoki sound too.
Great review, thank you - this is a solid solid reason to get 40v as opposed to 18v and also to get 40v in addition to 18v.
From my recollection there were reliability complaints on reviews on say the top 5 sites in the UK for selling the 18v version. It's all good when you register for 3 year warranty.
Thanks for taking the time to film, edit and upload!
Thumbs up.
Loving that tools are becoming smaller and less bulky.
Sweet looking nailer there!
Looking forward to getting me one of them!
Great video buddy 👍 you the man!!💪
The only tool from 40v that has 😂 my planer is a lump 😮💨
cant wait for a 16g 40v ill be waiting and watching when u release the vid
Thanks for watching, want more?

Makita 40v Brad Nailer Battery Comparison. Does the 5Ah battery hit harder? ua-cam.com/video/uqOaE5WwOQ4/v-deo.html
Is this nailer in North America 🇺🇸 yet?
Do you know if Makita are working on a 40v framing gun? Dying for a new framer but trying to wait and see if Makita delivers on the 40v platform
There are patents, so hopefully it is in the works.
Whoa. Nice flippin' brad nailer! I have the Hitachi(humungus) that I am happy with, but me thinks I would in bliss with this XGT.
The 40mm maximum length is, well... I seem to use a lot of 2 inchers in my "humungus". Hmmm...dilemma.
I hope this is coming to the US soon. I really need this gun!. I mostly use a pin nailer for what I do, but a compact cordless 18g would be awesome to own.
These are on eBay, but cost way too much.
Go with milwaukee own many makita tools but their nailer suck
Finally a decent review for this product. Thanks a lot! Hopefully it will not take too long for it to be released in Canada
just go milwaukee. seriously.
From 9:02 to 9:49 I only counted 17,653 nails that you put in ... I think you missed one. What does it say on the plans?
I think this style gun is the best. Same with metabo pinner. Super excited to upgrade from dewalt
Pity it's not angled to get into tighter corners and it would make it easier to use bigger nails.
Does it say how many nails the battery will last for and could you just leave the battery on it and see it if goes flat without being used?
How does the Makita compare with the new Bosch brad nailer? Interested in your thoughts. Maybe a nail out?
Neither one shoots a 2"/50mm nail? Hard pass. That's a big swing and a miss in my world.
The only reason I’m not buying one. Makita stuffed up here.
@@AshHalls I don't know what happened here. Are they just blind to what Mhpt, DeWalt, and Milwaukee have been doing the past 2 years? Makita knocks so many tools out of the park but when they blow it, man do they ever blow it.
@@gabemckay6718 so sense the last finish nailer i used was made before 1995 and air style ( and got legs so its not a option to me to use ) im clueless to the changes in the options for new tools aka is this a better experience and way of doing it? as i all ready have the newer cordless drill's and impact driver's ect. as nowadays i use it for automotive use aka dad was the wood worker in the family but i could use it for a shop door that needs fixing and TLC on
i didn't know about this cordless tool intel 2022 and the last time i really used wood working tools was the 1990's-2010 ish and one ish in 2017~ with his old stuff, as i play with metal more often
There is the LXT 18V DBN500 for 2“/50mm
Would definitely buy it if it shot 2 inch nails
2:19 close your eyes and listen 🙌
I hear a Kiwi accent, I subscribe.
Very nice video sir. I can't wait to get my hands on one 👍
Should do 18v vs 40v makita comparison
The semi-free fire is a nice addition. Safety’s gone mad the last couple of years, good for makita to stand up against it! 😉
Review the new xgt stick vacuum you used in the start of video
So basically I have to switch to DeWalt or Milwaukee for nailers. god damn it.
As a Makita fanboy i like Makita a lot, but i wonder if the whole 36 volt (40 volt max) isn't just a marketing ploy? I would love to know if these batteries arent just normal 18650 cells in series instead of parrallel?? So a 40 volt 2,5 ah would be exactly the same as a 18 volt 5ah...
Yes that's exactly what the batteries are. I have talked about that in many videos, including this one too I thought.
It’s not just a marketting ploy. Yes, the 2.5Ah XGT batteries are roughly equivalent to the 5.0Ah LXTs.
However, Makita can bring more powerful tools and batteries in the XGT lineup since they don’t need to worry about making 21700 batteries backwards compatible.
same 10x 18650 cells but they use better cells inside, and have bigger packs available
Seems very, very quiet. Lack of marring is a!so seriously impressive. Makes my tacwise look like junk. Which I suppose it is.
Pin nailer would do a lot of these jobs too. There is a makita 23ga battery in nailer too. I am getting a pneumatic Makita pin nailer
Thanks. Another good one.
How much they go for ?
Lack of ability to shoot 2" nails is a total deal breaker. Nobody has made a good cordless nailer since the old NiCad powered Dewalts.
This comment didn’t age well lol
Dewalt or Milwaukee 😮
@@lincolnp I have metabo and Milwaukee and metabo is lb light and has a small and better tip for tighter small spots. I like my metabo more the only downfall for the metabo is that when you run out of nails it still fires while the Milwaukee stops and lets you know you need more nails
i might have to check that gun out. I had the old 18ga makita that look retarted and overall sucked. Being heavily vested in Makita i had better luck running the Ryobi 18ga with adapter using Makita battery's. Now i have had the 18 Milwaukee for a few months the same deal running adapter and Makita battery's. The Makita and Ryobi could not fully set a 2" or 40mm" nail in 2 and 1/4 maple but the the Milwaukee had no problem.
I'm heavily vested in makita but my milwaukee nail guns kick ass makita just can't seem to get it right
Dear tool gods, please let someone on this earth create an adapter so that we may use our 40 volt Makita batteries in our 20 volt tools. Amen.
Amen ✊🏼🙏🏼
Unrelated to the tool but still relevant. Where do you get your hardwood from?
Do you live in NZ?
Dunno about him, but I do. South Pacific Timber?
Is it a "Clip" -or- "Magazine"? I say Magazine in this case.
Why don't they shoot 50mm nails :(
amatures
Any date for the hikoki version?
They are about to release a 36v 16ga in NZ, but the 40mm 18ga... who knows. No plans for NZ at this stage from what I have heard.
Makita’s are consistent if nothing else. The lights on their drill drivers are also completely useless. Throwing the tip into a black shadow.
40v stick vacuum... is that the next tool review?
Probably not the next one... but some time soon.
Nice, looks just like the Ryobi
No it doesn't.
Not bad, bur to weak for my work
Makitaaaarrrgggh! I jumped on Hikoki just for the nailers, and NOW you decide to up your nailer game??
It doesn't shoot 2". Can't use for my job.
Great size, absolutely needs to shoot 50mm / 2" brads though.
Seems like 40mm is already pushing it with the size and coil spring mechanism. With the Hitachi/Milwaukee style mechanism, the18ga guns are roughly the same size as their 16ga models.
On point with all Brand nailers. Put the 40v Makita vs Hikoki M-hpt please. I wonder how soon we can get the new 36v Hikoki brander & battery powered router. 🙇🏾♂️🖖🏾🔔🤙🏾
Excellent review as always. I recently bought into the 40V platform with a 4 piece combo. Full disclosure. I’m not Makita’s target audience for the more powerful line, more of a DIY type, but I convinced myself I needed it. Im sure most here can relate. I actually have a bunch of crown molding that needs to go back up after a recent remodel project. Im kinda dragging my feet waiting for this nailer to be available in the US. Don’t want to drag out the pancake compressor, knotted up hose and worn out POS nailer I have. Make haste Makita, time is of the essence. Starting to get dirty looks from the wife.
I can indeed relate, Milwaukee fanboi here, been buying M18 for years now.
I've been wanting a track saw for a while and a nice smaller than 10" cordless kind of do it all sliding mitre saw and the M18 7 1/4 just didn't cut it.
I was going to buy into the Makita dual 18v line for those 2 tools until I saw XGT coming, like great now I have to wait even longer, but holy crap it was worth the wait.
Got their epic hammer drill/driver combo, 8 1/2" mitre saw, track saw and just ordered a rotary, 9" grinder and inflator.
I want to get this nailer and leaf blower too to replace the Milwaukee ones, and when released get the planer, air duster, 13" fan but omfg I've spent too much already....
Come on, Makita. Framing Nailer, or I'm going to have to start buying Hikoki!
they said its coming???
Already have started to join team green
I need to stop watching your channel. In the two days I've been watching your reviews I've ordered the 8.5in 40v miter saw, the 125mm circular saw which I had to order from Japan on eBay, the 36v cordless AWS vacuum, and a 40v 4amp battery kit. My credit cards are now mad at me :/
Only 40mm? I'd like it to fire 50mm
Issue with the 40v Makita - nails too short. Needs to go to 54mm for me to spend on it. But this driving mechanism seems underpowered for even 40mm, so I'm sure that's why they don't support longer nails. The Milwaukee I use on the other hand can shoot nails to the moon.
I've had one for over a year now and it hos plenty of power. The tongue has just broken though so not happy.
no quick release for clearing nail jambs, wont fire over 1.5 inch nails? 2 inch 18g nails are very common here in the US. Wont fire 1.5 inch nails fully into hardwood? This to me is a MAJOR FAIL for Makita.
Wish they had made this able to shoot 50mm nails. What a shame
40mm so it’s useless for a chippy then?👎
I expected more from makita and a 40v
Man if it could fire 2” nails I’d be all over it
So its the 18v version gun that takes a 40v battery just like there new 40v plunge saw its the same design as the twin 36v saw and no new features. Could have atleast increased the nail sizes to shoot 50mm. Makita's tool designers are really slacking off
Totally different nailer.
I bought a Milwaukee 16g Brad nailer and I'm very disappointed. This makita nailer looks like it works well. Good review mate
They should have made it 50mm. Maybe their next model will, i hope.
Underrated channel. 🤘🏾🇦🇺
Why such small brads, would need an 18gauge to fire at least a 2 inch. That's pretty my the standard here in Canada it seems for interior trim work.
I've got the Milwaukee 18g and definitely need it fire 2" brads too. Shame because I like the size of it.
I thought the whole 2” minimum on 18ga brads was just a recent US thing and not an entire North America thing? The more I learn. It’s coming to Canada in September but I was led to believe I’ll never see it on shelves here in the States.
@@jrsuk1170 exactly! And the old 18g makita is so ugly and big lol
@@robertrada4783 a new 2" Brad? Or this one shown??
@@benembleton8325 This one shown is coming to Canada. Hikoki have had a similar 36v they’ve kept away from America, and now we know why: new Metabo HPT 18 gauge coming out. 2” and 30% smaller than the previous 2”. I only know of it coming in the USA so far. October-ish.
What information can you give us about the upcoming Hikoki nailer?
This was my 1st 40v makita tool, got the kit with 2 batts and charger to start my 40v kit... Just got the combi and impact... Well impressed with the nailer... Not even used the combi or impact yet 😂
Where do u live? I cant find it in the US
I'm in the UK, they have only just come out here. It was expensive at £615 but came with a charger and two 2.5ah batteries
Literally, the bottom line for me is Makita charges too much for their nailers. Boom, done. I've got matabo for job (usually you got a lot of nails to sink so setting up the compressor and never having to worry about power is fine) sites and picked up a cheap Ryobi (using Makita 18v adapter) for around the house stuff. Scoff if you want, but the Ryobi has yet to let me down. Great Vid nonetheless. Oh yeah, great bit on proper use. I was teaching my kid on how to use it and the nail never set properly --realized they were pulling the gun away as they shot the nail. It's not that obvious if you havent used one of these...
I thought you said you were making a litter box for his mother which really confused me - video was so good that I just stuck around to see the review anyway though. Cheers
The thing looks great!
Comparison between Milwaukee 2nd gen M18 brad nailer and the Makita 40V Max brad nailer.
When it comes out here.
This looks like a really good tool, always thought the hikoki looked WAY too big for a brad as you will need to get into tight spaces
How has this been out for 2 years and I've never seen this nailer (or the LXT version) anywhere?
Looks nice but should of made to shoot 2 inch nails
is this quieter than the Milwaukee 18ga fuel gen 2?
Why TF should I spend all that money to have a Brad nailer that doesn't fire 50mm brads
Milwaukee seem to have the best nailers at the moment >Makita really has to better and cheaper
I'm using 18ga in pretty small spaces often. This definitely has the edge over the Milwaukee for me.
Another great video Tools, love it. Don't need a nailer but I really fancy this one
What is the difference between this model and the GTP01Z? I noticed the GTP01Z has a different vent layout design and us slightly cheaper.
That XGT vacuum is the first 40v that I'm gonna buy. My 18v version sucks (very little) wife joke.
How much is it
Thank you for all of your reviews sir, I recently just bought into the xgt platform after having Milwaukee for about a decade and after all of the milwaukee tools I’ve used the xgt stuff seems like their not even struggling to do any job. Think I’m going to start switching over to xgt and maybe some lxt
Are you still happy with this tool? I need a brad nailer for finishing off furniture. You reckon I can get away with an 18v or are they as crap as people say they are?
Hi mate, I bought one not long ago but it doesnt shoot nails below flush and I’m having to punch every one, even in normal soft pine, did you have this problem?
I have the 18v and it’s great 👍🏻 👌🏻 Will get the 40v for the bigger nails I have never needed more than the 40mm nails so no dramas there
Although Bosch might not be the most popular power tools brand but they do innovate a lot and we just take those innovations for granted.
Nice to grab and go. I hate the 2 switch set up on the router and some of them other Makita.
At first I thought you said you were making a litter box, letter box makes a little more sense!
Can you do a video about the paslodes and other framing guns the new 360ci and framemaster
Do you think they’ll bring out an angle version? I have a angled paslode but hate it but like the angle it’s on. Find the straight guns can’t get in as many spaces.
I bought it the 23 gauge pin nailer and was a complete fail I had to return it and stick it to ryobi pin nailer I hope this one could be better than pin nailer
Love all your reviews, can you tell what brand brad nails you use for this nailer please?
Can this tool be used to attach wood to a concrete wall using 25mm concrete nails?
Sometimes it sounds like that robotic dog off of 'Battlestar Galactica'.
It's beats everyone else for it's size and sound level just that it's way costly even the bare tool
NICE!
My battery brad nailers are huge (Senco and Dewalt) and I have to switch to air to run my Cadex gear in tight spaces.
I do have the Makita 18V stapler and it's great. Ironically at the time of buying it I didn't have any cordless Makita gear (decades back I really hated the ergonomics and never went back) but now I've got a ton.
I'm still on the fence about big volt gear (Dewalt v's Makita). It's effectively another battery system on top of the ~8 I have and the real irony here in relation to this video was that I was leaning towards Dewalt because of their battery compressor .. for the purpose of running my brad nailers and pinners!
Thanks for the review.
Makita drills have the lights in a useless spot too. What were they thinking..
Relax guys,I think this is makita's 40v sub-compact nailer.
I’ve one of these coming this next week. Along with an rs001gz. Pretty stoked ;)
Hey Bud! can you try firing the 40v through a business card and see if it still leaves those marring marks? Thanks! 😎
I WANT ONE. But most importantly where did you get that clamp you used to make the roof for the mail box.
i bought me a pneumatic bradnailer for 64 mm nails, good review tho
Ooohh no, no "toolles" jamed nail remover.
Milwaukee still looking for a worthy opponent since this looks no match for milwaukee. Milwaukee 2746 is up to 54mm and can fully sink nails into hardwood fast with no problem
I wish we could get more 40v tools in the USA
How can I get this
That’s a beauty
when they gonna make a 1st fix gun :(
I'm in the market for a general purpose 18 gauge brad nailer, I can get either a Milwaukee M18 , Makita LXT ,or Ryobi. What would be your first choice tools?
That Makita seems a lot quieter than the Milwaukee. Ryobi is cheap brand.
