- Does it need a compressor or gas cartridges?
- No. It is fully cordless and driven by an air spring powered from the 18V LXT battery, so there is no hose and no fuel cell to replace.
- Which nails does it take?
- It is a finish nailer for its specified gauge and angle only; check the magazine spec before buying, since it will not run framing or roofing nails.
- Is it worth it over a pneumatic nailer?
- If you work in occupied homes or away from power, the freedom from a compressor is the main draw. A pneumatic gun is lighter and faster for shop or high-volume work.
- Does it come with a battery?
- Many listings are bare tool only. Confirm whether a battery and charger are included before you buy if you do not already own LXT packs.
- Can it sink nails flush in hard trim?
- Yes, with the depth adjustment set correctly. Very hard hardwood may need a slower pace or a higher-capacity battery to keep driving consistently.
- Where is the Makita 18V LXT Brushless Cordless Nailer cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $399.00, as of our latest check.
