AF506 18G Brad Nailer

Cool bit of kit 👍👍

Highly recommended. Easy to use straight from the carry case. Strong and a good weight. Feels well made and totally reliable. In the first 8 hours of use we didn’t experience any jamming at all which is rare for these type of guns. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.

What a tool, needed to lay a log cabin floor that was around 26sqm and this thing fired around 2.5k nails without a single problem. Was genuinely blown away how good this was. If your looking good for a nail gun, this is the one to get.

This is perfect

I have used a Makita sliding compound saw in Canada for over thirty years and loved it. I also owned a set of Makita rechargeable drill and driver and they performed extremely well. The mistake I made was to leave them behind instead of bringing them and buying a UK Makita charger. I replaced them here in the UK with a very similar but much more expensive Makita product and they too are performing admirably. Needing a Brad nailer, I recently purchased a Makita Brad nailer and this Makita product is living up to my expectations. Well made and easy to use.

I have used a few nailer/staplers over the years and almost from just a few days old they either broke or had problems with jamming on a regular basis with either the brad nails, staples or both. This time, as I use mainly nails I chose just a nailer version. At 2 to 3 times the price of many nailers it's not cheap at approx £95 but the difference in handling and quality of build is chalk and cheese. Performance is excellent too and punches 15 to 50mm brads in with equal aplomb. A simple click release clip enables cleaning or clearing the firing nose but at the moment I have not had a single jam. The nose also has a rubber protection cover to protect the work piece and also a spare is fitted beneath the gun. Easy to adjust depth at either gun and/or compressor as this is compressed air tool not electric so that is an additional cost if you are starting from scratch. Mine was from SGS, 50 litre, 9.6 BAR and works at 120 PSI and cost £119. The Makita will work all day with that spec and is used at only fraction of that available. From birdboxes to sheds this is the tool to use and the same model stapler is on my wish list now.

Brilliant and works great

Birthday present. Hubby loves it.it made an awkward job quick and easy. He was lining our shed with marine ply not enough room for 2 people .he could position the sheet and nail it by himself. Very happy.

Great design, light weight, can get into tight areas like corners. Low noise-great feel. Works great with my low noise portable air compressor. No jams to date -Brad nail range 18 gauge 5/8-2 inch.

Fiable et puissant pour des finitions. Pour le prix il vaut mieux prendre makita qu’une marque inconnue.

door zijn kracht, ik moet erg voorzichtig, tijdens hem gebruiken.

Estaba reparando unas lamas de tarima de roble en casa y necesitaba con urgencia una clavadora. Como nunca había usado una, solicité consejo a los compradores. Todo fueron opiniones positivas, y entre eso y el precio, que me pareció muy conveniente, la compré. La realidad es que el roble es una madera muy dura, y es necesario algo más potente. Esta clavadora usa clavos con galga 18 con un máximo de 8 bar, que se quedan cortos. Sería más conveniente para este uso clavos de galga 16 y una presión mayor, con lo que la clavadora tendría que ser superior a esta. Terminé teniendo que botar todas las puntas. Yo supongo que una clavadora de esas características tiene que ser profesional y de varios cientos de euros, así que tampoco tenía mucha salida. La clavadora me la quedé. Es una herramienta de construcción sólida, y Makita construye con calidad. Corroboro las opiniones de quienes la recomendaron, pero aviso, por si alguien la necesita para lo mismo que yo, que valore la compra. Edito: La razón por la que no me sirve para la tarima es que al tener que clavar en ángulo en el macho, la boca queda algo separada de la madera, con lo cual pierde potencia el clavado. En las partes que he tenido que clavar en la parte superior, con la clavadora en ángulo recto, clava y bien adentro. Hubo quien me comentó que la usaba para clavar premarcos, y ahí realmente tiene que funcionar de miedo. Pero lo de trabajar con el ángulo, sin llegar a la madera, es otra historia.

Une vrai bête. Pression entre 5 et 8 bars. Tester à 6 bars avec des clous de la marque en 25mm. Avec ce modèle, il faut prendre des clous séries 18 G. Rentre comme dans du beurre. Petite burette d'huile bien pratique. Une doc que je n'ai pas ouverte. 1 à 2 goutte d'huile à mettre avant et après utilisation. Ne pas dépasser 2 gouttes d'huile. Bien vider le chargeur de clous une fois utilisé pour ne pas détendre le ressort de compression. l'embout est fin et parfaitement compatible les flexibles standards. Rapport qualité / prix imbattable. Très bonne prise en main. Légère. Le coffret est costaud et sur charnière plastique. A conseiller sans restriction.
