Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Check out the most powerful nailer in it's class - the Makita AN901 framing coil nailer. The built-in ceramic air filter system prevents debris from entering the tool extending tool life and reducing down time and the 9 quick-dial depth adjustment settings give you precise control of nail depth. You'll enjoy how the easy to load canister holds 1-3/4-inch to 3-1/2-inch coil framing nails and the non-slip nose is the ideal shape for diagonal nailing. We even placed side bumpers on the head unit to prevent damage to the tool from the rigors of everyday use. Designed with a contoured handle with a conforming rubber grip for operator comfort and a three mode selector switch for either -inch bump-inch or -inch sequential-inch operation and an -inch off-inch setting for safe transporting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Tool, September 30, 2005

I am a general contractor and have been using this tool on a house I am currently building. I decide on a coil nailer because it was going to be used primarily for nailing off shear and flooring. It came down to this one or the Max nailer and I chose this one because it is lighter the max by almost a pound. It is well balanced and has more than enough power to do anything I have asked it to do. I find myself using it to do a lot of framing I would normally do by hand and even with a full coil of 16d nails, it is light enough to use for extended periods of time. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best coil nailer?, February 14, 2007

Yes, without a doubt, the framing crew I've been working with the past few weeks has a couple of these and a Bostich coil nailer. the Makita feels to be about half the weight and is easier to get into tight spots to do toe nailing. the power is great, easily driving the nails. I use a Hitachi stick gun, and will be switching over to these guns, they reduce the fatigue by a great margin.

This is the best framing nailer I have ever used. It's light, well balanced, has plenty of power and very versatile. The only complaint I have is that I had a hard time finding info on the nails that it would except. I still don't know if I should be using the smaller diameter siding nails or not; I installed about 800 sq. ft. of siding with it without a single problem, so I guess it must be okay. The gun is great for framing, it,s compact and fits into tight spots much easier than any stick nailer I've used. This is the first coil framer that I've bought and what I like best about is how long you can go without reloading. I don't think I'll ever buy a stick nailer again.
