Will this gun go through a one inch thick piece of wood/lumber?
Asked by Ray July 11, 2019Yes
Does this Brad Nailer have a case you can purchase?
Asked by ScottA February 25, 2019I don't think so but I'm not positive.
what battery uses 18 v and 3ah or 4ah
Asked by chonta November 19, 2018I have batteries 3ah and 5 ah and the nailer works with both with no problem. So I’m guessing that there shouldn’t be a problem using with 4ah battery
What does it need to work, beside nail and battery..?
Asked by Maklira October 14, 2018Nothing else. Just 18g nails and a charged battery
Why doesn’t makita improve this tool? Why does it leave brads proud (not completly sunk) of wood trim?
Asked by John September 28, 2018For XNB01 nailer: I have not had this problem with pine and poplar. Tested it on 3/4” oak nailed to oak with 1-1/4” nails with minimal problem. See picture Of 5 shots with one flush and 4 well set. This is in oak. Make sure your battery is the 18 V 3.0 or even better 5.0 lithium battery and also make sure the adjustment is set to full depth
