With its compact size and powerful performance, the XNB02Z can drive standard 16 gauge straight finish nails ranging from 1” to 2-1/2” in length, with a magazine capacity of up to 110 nails.

Equipped with an anti-dry fire mechanism, the XNB02Z is designed to prevent driving blanks and damage to the work surface. It features a 2-mode selector switch, trigger lock button, and tool-less depth adjustment for precise flush and countersink finishes. The nailer is part of Makita’s extensive 18V Lithium-Ion system, which is powered by the world’s largest cordless tool system using 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries.

Makita’s 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, ensuring that users can spend more time working and less time waiting for their tools to charge. To enhance tool performance and prolong battery life, Makita developed Star Protection Computer Controls - a communication technology that allows the tool and battery to exchange real-time data and monitor conditions during use. This helps to protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating.

The XNB02Z can be powered by Makita 18V LXT and compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the Star symbol, indicating that Star protection is included. Its powerful motor design can easily drive standard 16 gauge, straight finish nails from 1" to 2-1/2" in length, and it can drive up to 1,000 finish nails using a 5.0Ah 18V LXT battery (sold separately).

Cordless and convenient, this nailer eliminates the need for a compressor and air hose, offering increased versatility for woodworkers. Additionally, its compact center height allows for better visibility around the nose tip when working in tight spaces. The reversible belt clip also allows the tool to remain close at hand for easy access during projects.
