This nailer feels and shoots like a $200 tool, but it costs just $84. Everything about it is refined: It has the smoothest magazine operation of any of the nailers, and it is quiet and comfortingly heavy. While it’s very capable at odd angles, its chunky nose and lack of a dry-fire lockout kept it from being my favorite model. In addition, the removeable safety can fall to the ground when you open the driver housing; I can see it easily disappearing into a pile of shavings. Features: directable exhaust, belt hook, and quick-release nose.
Red means stop. The Makita doesn’t have a dryfire lockout, but it does have red indicators that show when the magazine is empty.
