I am a general contractor and have been using this tool on a house I am currently building. I decide on a coil nailer because it was going to be used primarily for nailing off shear and flooring. It came down to this one or the Max nailer and I chose this one because it is lighter the max by almost a pound. It is well balanced and has more than enough power to do anything I have asked it to do. I find myself using it to do a lot of framing I would normally do by hand and even with a full coil of 16d nails, it is light enough to use for extended periods of time. Highly recommended.
the best coil nailer?

Yes, without a doubt, the framing crew I've been working with the past few weeks has a couple of these and a Bostich coil nailer. the Makita feels to be about half the weight and is easier to get into tight spots to do toe nailing. the power is great, easily driving the nails. I use a Hitachi stick gun, and will be switching over to these guns, they reduce the fatigue by a great margin.

This is the best framing nailer I have ever used. It's light, well balanced, has plenty of power and very versatile. The only complaint I have is that I had a hard time finding info on the nails that it would except. I still don't know if I should be using the smaller diameter siding nails or not; I installed about 800 sq. ft. of siding with it without a single problem, so I guess it must be okay. The gun is great for framing, it,s compact and fits into tight spots much easier than any stick nailer I've used. This is the first coil framer that I've bought and what I like best about is how long you can go without reloading. I don't think I'll ever buy a stick nailer again.

A brilliant nail gun, which came well packed and in perfect condition. My concerns would be the perspex magazine coupled with the lack of a carry case and a very poor black and white manual. Makita make exellent tools but they could do with producing glossy colour manuals. I, like another reviewer had problems sourcing nails, I went on to Stanley-Bostich's web site and found that there nails were compatible. I have fired hundreds of these nails of variying sizes and have yet to get a single stoppage. In conclusion this is an excellent product which would have gotten five stars but for the draw backs which are listed above.
Excellent condition with prompt delivery

I swore by both Hitachi coil guns until i ordered this gun, i havent touched them since. Dont throw your money away on other garbage guns this one is light, has a built in hook, and can nail all types of lumber without having to finish with your hammer especially into micro lam material. Other guns are too heavy, not powerful enough or just plain awkward ive used them all and i cant believe more local stores havent started carrying this makita gun.
