yes, has to be pulled all the way back to load

Haven't had a problem with it so far

I have had to a few times. It starts to jamb if it gets too dry

Not sure about that one. You'd have to check specs of the nailer online

Un my opinion macpac 2 will be fine, I don't have that nailer but I have a macpac2.

Sometimes the slider on the magazine that pushes the nails gets caught up if there's debris in there. It can keep it from putting tension on the nails. Try cleaning it out and spraying in some graphite dry lubricant or dripping a little bit of tool oil on it and see if it resolves the issue. Mone also has a harder time pushing nails all the way in if the amp hours on the battery are too low. Lastly, making sure you have 16guage nails in there, not 18 Guage.

I have the DBN600, which is the partnumber used outside the US I believe. What I found is that shooting overhead caused more empty shots. I also found the rubber tip in the box and put it back on. That seemed to result in in fewer misfires. I'm not sure how these influence the mechanics. I suspect that the weight of the machine influences the way I press the tip and may cause slight alignment issues. But this may all be bull. I'll have to try Mike's suggestions.

I just hang it up in my job trailer from the belt hook that comes with it

It's great for interior trim work, yes. I wouldn't recommend it for exterior trim as it could peel of with weather due to thin nails that aren't treated for rust.

@@MechanicalMike good point about the rust.

They have yet to release a cordless framing nailer. I am patiently waiting. I imagine it would be a dual battery 36V or the new 40V. Dewalt and Milwaukee are way ahead of Makita in that realm.

What's the Biggest Size Nail for Makita? Does anyone know?

@@kishdogg1594 they make a pneumatic framing nailer, but this is currently the largest battery operated nailer that they have. I imagine that will change pretty soon

@@kishdogg1594 in re: to this gun.....2.5"
