Makita DPT353Z 18V Li-Ion LXT Pin Nailer - Batteries And Charger Not Included

I have little experience using nailers but I read up extensively before buying pne just to Brad nail the decorative parts of pre-hung doors.

I understand there to be huge differences between the functionality of the technology between nailers rather than the individual brands. I bought one with a mini compressor inside for about £100, they fire the nails below the surface which is important for my needs, but many use friction to drive the nails with a type of wheel roller design. Some brands do seem to have advantages over others and dewalt seem to make the best large gauge construction guns, but if you want a pin nailer than I can’t see any of these brands being worth more than the £100 I paid. The many criticism i have of mine is it is heavy

I've not tried the new DeWalt one yet. The only comparison I have is the Ryobi, that one of my chippies has, and the Makita is far more comfortable to use than that. Judging from the improvement I've seen in DeWalt tools over the past few years I should think their 23g is going to be as good as the Makita, maybe better? Makita seem to have stood still with their development allowing Milwaukee and DeWalt to catch up and overtake in some cases. They also seem to be concentrating on their XGT system more now.

If you dont rely on one for daily use then it might be better to just go for a chinese one a fraction of the price from aliexpress.

I'm not sure

Still showing as £232.25 + £5.16 delivery for myself.
