5.0 out of 5 stars great little nailer, January 18, 2008
This review is from: Makita AF505 2-Inch Brad Nailer (Tools & Home Improvement)
Great nailer, I haven't had a single problem with it so far. The pic is of the old model. The one I received is in fact the newer model (same model number) with the makita teal-bluish color rubber inlays. Works great.

4.0 out of 5 stars Yes its worth the extra money, April 21, 2011
This review is from: Makita AF505 2-Inch Brad Nailer (Tools & Home Improvement)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I have to begin by noting that there is a noted price difference between this Makita model and its competitors...I can't say peers as I think this product is not a peer of the cheaper made models by any comparison. But I have to note that it is much more expensive which begs the question? Why

Well its better made, this is not the weekender model, its made for the everyday JOBSITE. That being said though it is not heavy it is well built and hence heavier than the competing models. It's nearly 7#'s dry...but it has a metal in feed and casing. The cheaper Hitachi has plastic ( the more comparable porter cable has metal also).

This unit fired all nails equally well but really stood out on the 2 inch nails. Some guns (porter cable) tend to over fire on the longer nails and dialing in the depth can be problematic resulting in sometimes proud heads or sometimes overdriven heads. This may seem trivial till you shoot 1000 nails of trim and then go back for fill and finish (ie: filling in all nail heads for a perfect finish for paint or staining)

As a PRO carpenter I have to say I appreciated the consistency of this unit and the flawless nailing. The case is a must for any pro or even homeowner that takes care of his/her tools. I also have the Porter cable 2inch brad and if I had to purchase another would get another Makita. They are close in price but I feel the Makita is built better and more consistent with nailing.

Cons of the unit: the huge head for nail placement...its 1/8 by an 1/8th which is fine for wall trim but not for ¼ round or bead trims...I marked it with whiteout so I could find center more easily (this is the one thing my porter has over this unit)

Second and this applies to all manufactures in this category of nailer...give us a bigger window for seeing how many nails we have left. Especially when your on a dedicated trim job its annoying to not notice till your locked out...a 10 nail warning would be great (that's one window basically)

All and all an excellent unit

1.0 out of 5 stars waste of money, November 20, 2008
This review is from: Makita AF505 2-Inch Brad Nailer (Tools & Home Improvement)
Buy any other gun, but do not waste your money on this one. I did use it for about 3 months and I was completly dissappointed. It jamed often and was unable to drive 2" nails into oak at pressure about 120psi. Instead, leaves a nail out and punch another hole next to that nail. If you work with a stain grade materials...get better gun.
