Makita AF601 16 Gauge, 2-1/2" Straight Finish Nailer,

Works well, it finished my project when a porter cable finisher stopped working 1/2 way.

Very good and easy to use gun. Works well and causes no problems. I recommend it 100%.

This 16 ga straight nailer is money! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the hand grip is rolling up after shooting 100 or so nails. Definitely worth the money!

This is the first pnuematic nailer I've purchased, and I was pleasantly surprised at the power. Reviews that criticize various nail guns for setting nails inconsistently often cite hard woods like oak as particularly problematic. I tested this on scraps of oak molding, and also on pieces of 3/4" thick oak plank. It drives the nails perfectly straight through even the 3/4" thick oak. At the same time, as long as I pressed the gun firmly against the material, it sets the nails at a very consistent depth. After a little trial and error with the depth setting dial, I was nailing oak molding and the 3/4" oak to pieces of 2x4 with very consistent and accurate depth. I'm just a DIYer, but this feels like a very professional quality tool.

I have never used a nail gun until today. I have however used plenty of Makita tools in the past. One that I use quite often is an angle grinder. I have had it for 7 years now and it has taken a beating. Makita is on the same level as Dewalt in my mind This nailer is very light and gave me zero issues. I also used 2" nails in it so it supports nails other than 2.5" ones. I used a Bostitch pancake compressor and it worked just fine with that

You can always get a nailer that costs a whole lot more, but why? They all do the same thing. I may not be driving thousands of nails per day - so this fits my needs the best.

Great nail gun. I bought this to put up shiplap boards and right out of the box it worked great. Nice and light so your arm won't get too tired. For the price, you can't beat this.
