Makita Usa Inc XNB02Z 18V Cordless Finish Nailer 16 Gauge

Product Description

The MAKITA USA INC XNB02Z is an 18V LXT lithium-ion cordless straight finish nailer built for 16-gauge straight finish nails. It drives nails from 1 inch to 2.5 inches in length using a brushless motor-style drive system designed for consistent depth and power. Running on an 18V LXT battery platform, it delivers up to 1,000 finish nails per charge when paired with a 5.0Ah 18V LXT battery, sold separately. The tool-only configuration makes it a direct addition to any existing Makita LXT battery system. This nailer is intended for finish carpenters, trim installers, and woodworking professionals who need a reliable cordless solution on the job site.

The XNB02Z is well suited for residential and light commercial finish work. Common applications include baseboard installation, crown molding, door and window casing, flooring trim, and general interior woodworking. The compact center height design allows the operator to see around the nose tip when working in tight corners or confined framing areas. The narrow nose profile provides access in spaces where bulkier nailers cannot reach. A built-in LED work light improves visibility in poorly lit areas such as cabinet interiors or low-light trim scenarios.
