Overview
An 18 volt cordless nailer from Makita's battery platform, sold as tool only without a battery or charger included. At 8.14 pounds it uses a mixed build of alloy steel, rubber, urethane and plastic components.
Selling as tool only, the Z designation in Makita's naming, means this nailer is meant for buyers who already own compatible 18 volt batteries and chargers, which keeps the purchase price down but requires that existing gear. Running on battery power instead of a compressor and hose removes the need to drag an air line around a job site, at the cost of runtime limited by battery charge. The mixed material build, with rubber and urethane alongside steel and plastic, points to grip padding and shock dampening in the housing.
- 18 volt cordless power
- 8.14 pound tool weight
- Tool only, battery sold separately
- Mixed steel, rubber and plastic construction
Who it's for
Makita 18 volt battery platform owners who want a cordless nailer without duplicating batteries and a charger they already have. Not a fit for anyone starting from scratch without existing Makita 18 volt batteries, since none come with this listing.
Pros and cons
- Cordless operation with no hose or compressor needed
- Uses the existing Makita 18 volt battery platform
- Mixed material build includes grip padding
- No battery or charger included
- Heavier than a comparable pneumatic nailer
Performance notes
Battery power removes the hose and compressor from the job site setup, which speeds up moving between work areas but ties runtime to how much charge is left in the battery. At 8.14 pounds it carries more heft than a typical pneumatic brad nailer, since the motor and battery mount add weight a compressor based tool does not need. The rubber and urethane components in the build likely serve as grip padding and impact dampening.
