So, what can you knowledgeable folks tell me, and what do I need to think about.?įirst off Makita do two cordless nailers which use 18 volt Li-Ion batteries, the DPT351 23 gauge pinner and the DBN500 18 gauge second fix gun. I ought to add that it is only likely to get very light domestic use. Having never needed one in the past, I have no idea how much use it will get, nor what else I may end up using it for, but would rather get a good tool than something cheap, and ideally would like something small and light - the only nail gun I have used was a Paslode first fix, which seemed massive, and not ideal for something like a staircase ! However, this only goes up to 35mm pins which might be a limiting factor, so an alternative is something like the Bostich which can take 50mm pins. I already own Makita 18v batteries, and have seen the Makita DPT351. I don't want an air gun, don't mind corded, don't do any real amount of first fix, and don't want to hire a tool.
I have a staircase to repair with lots of loose spindles and have been wondering about getting a nail gun, but know nothing about such things.
