Frequently Asked Questions

Are Makita cordless nail guns as powerful as pneumatic models?

Makita's 18V LXT cordless nail guns deliver comparable performance to pneumatic tools for most professional applications, with the added benefits of portability and no compressor requirements. For extremely high-volume production work, pneumatic models may offer marginally faster cycle times.

What battery capacity do I need for Makita cordless nailers?

A 5.0Ah 18V LXT battery typically fires 400-800 nails per charge depending on nail length and material hardness. For all-day site work, we recommend having two batteries in rotation to maintain continuous productivity.

Can I use any brand of nails in Makita nail guns?

Whilst Makita nail guns accept standard gauge fasteners, we recommend using quality branded nails that meet specifications. Poor quality fasteners can cause jams and potentially damage the firing mechanism, affecting your warranty coverage.
