- Does the GNB02Z come with a battery?
- No. It is a bare tool, so you need a 40V XGT battery and charger. Makita rates up to 1,020 nails per charge on a 2.5Ah XGT pack.
- What nails does it take?
- 21-degree plastic-collated full round head framing nails from 2 to 3-1/2 inches long and .113 to .148 inch in diameter. It does not take clipped-head nails.
- How does it compare with the 18V LXT framing nailer?
- Makita claims up to twice the nailing speed of the 18V LXT XNB07Z, and the 40V tool drives full round head nails. The trade-off is a heavier tool and the XGT battery platform.
- Can I get a larger magazine?
- Yes. The optional Extended Capacity Magazine Set (1914P2-4) raises capacity from 41 to 78 nails and is sold separately.
- Is it heavy for overhead work?
- It weighs about 11.9 lbs with battery, which owners find tiring overhead. For sustained ceiling or soffit work, a lighter clipped-head or pneumatic gun may suit better.
- Does it have bump fire?
- Yes. A two-mode selector switches between sequential nailing and bump fire, and there is an anti-dry fire mechanism to prevent blank drives.
