Our take on the Makita 40V Max XGT Brushless Framing Nailer

The Makita 40V Max XGT Brushless Framing Nailer is a cordless pneumatic-spring framing gun for 30–34° clipped-head paper-collated nails from 2 to 3-1/2 inches. It fires up to 4 nails per second and drives about 1,020 nails per charge on a 2.5Ah XGT battery, so it can run a full day of framing with spare packs. It is heavy at roughly 11.7–14.3 lbs, well above a pneumatic framer, but it removes the hose and compressor. Reviewers rate the drive depth and reliability highly; the main trade-offs are weight and the cost of the XGT battery platform.

What reviewers say

Owners and reviewers treat it as one of the strongest cordless framing nailers, praising drive power, depth consistency and battery life. Most criticism centers on weight and the smaller magazine.

What people mention
  • WeightCriticisedOwners say it is noticeably heavier than a pneumatic framer and tiring when nailing overhead.
  • Drive powerPraisedReviewers report consistent full-depth drives into framing lumber and engineered wood.
  • Battery lifePraisedUsers get roughly a thousand nails per 2.5Ah charge and rate runtime highly.
  • MagazineMixedThe 58-nail capacity means more reloads than larger rival magazines, though loading is quick.
  • NoiseCriticisedAt about 90 dB(A) it is loud enough that users recommend hearing protection.
  • PlatformMixedIt only runs on Makita 40V XGT batteries, so 18V LXT owners must buy into a new platform.
