Makita AF506 2" Brad Nailer, 18 Gauge

Works great. Haven’t had any troubles. I do handyman work and it’s been the best nail gun I’ve owned. I’ve used this more than a year.

My metabo 18ga magazine started jamming too much, it was the only issue I had.This Makita with the aluminum magazine is much better. I can feed different length nail strips at the same time without jamming. To break it in I did 200’ of oak door trim/baseboard with 3/4, 1 1/4 and 2”. There were only 3 misfires in all and probably from hitting a drywall screw hidden below. I’m pleased with every aspect of this gun with the exception of no rapid fire selection. That’s quite alright though.

Makita 5/8” - 2" 18 Gauge Brad Nailer,. I was going to buy an inexpensive brad nailer from my local Fright hardware store, but I thought that I should buy something that I could pass down to the next generation as my father always did. I purchased this Makita 2” brad nailer as it had ratings of 4.7 out of 3,170 reviews. So, I thought you can’t beat that. My goodness is this one amazing nailer. Rubber grips and even the blue logo on the side is also rubber so if you set it down on something nice or a piece of furniture it won’t scratch it. It fits your hand like a glove and functions so smoothly. I will never regret spending more money just to have something that is so nice to use for what I need, but knowing that it will easily pass on down to probably my grandson makes the extra expense worth every penny. I will never shy away from a tool that I know will be used and appreciated going forward. It is truly a fantastic 18 gauge brad nailer. You won't ever regret buying this air brad nailer.

I ordered this to use in buding decor for our business. The unit I was sent initially was clearly used and damaged (see pictures). There was a nail jammed in it and the spring was missing from the tip safety. I contacted Amazon immediately and they had a new one at my door the next evening. The second one is new and exactly as pictured in the listing. The nailer is pretty light and has a handy hook attached so you can hang it on your ladder or something. The depth adjustment is smooth and easy to use. For less than $100 it seems to be a very good value.

My Dewalt Brad nailer that I got for free, just died, and since I own several Makita tools I decided to buy a Makita Brad nailer. Wow, am I impressed!!! This lightweight nailer fits my hand perfectly, great grip. This is so easy to operate, easy to load, and never a misfire. I know everyone hears this a lot, well it’s a Makita, enough said, can’t go any better, but it’s true. Well made, well thought out, durable, and the Makita name. The damn thing even looks good. I love this nailer, and actually want to replace my finish nailer with a Makita. 5+ stars

Works great - love it!

This brad nailer is well made, allowes accurate placement of nails, no misfires(dry fire) that I can tell. It feels great in the hand, not too light, not heavy. First job of the gun was trimming a whole house(1400lft) and made my job that much easier.Compared to its competition H bought from the Lbox, the magazine is loading the nail strip tight and doesn't jam every few 10s of nails. That was frustrating, loose plastic magazine wobling and shaking. This Makita nailer has none of that, top notch gun and very reasonably priced, good value. Buy without regrets.(A word of caution: this is my second gun of the same, the first one arrived unable to sink the heads of nails, no matter what was adjusted, air pressure or depth setting. Was promptly returned, and the second one received works great.)

It’s makita, so… Supposed to be a good brand.Bought as Xmas gift.Husband likes it, only complaint is the limited size of brad nails you can use in it, as I did not read that carefully so no more than 2”.But for lighter jobs or repairs, it does what it needs to do. At least it’s not always hammer and nails.If you want the bigger nails you have to buy a bigger one, with a compressor hookup, so it has more power, driving bigger nails I suppose. I imagine this will be easier for me to use as well, as I can’t really lift heavier drills etc, so I can pro manage this.But hey, this helps with his honey-do list now 👍🏻😂
