About this product

Makita 40V Max XGT Brushless Cordless 21 Degree Full Round Head 3-1/2 Inch Framing Nailer (Bare Tool)

The 21º Full Round Head 3-1/2" Framing Nailer (GNB02) delivers the power of pneumatic without all the hassles of a cord and compressor. It delivers class-leading cordless performance with up to two-times faster nailing speeds*. The 21º Full Round Head 3-1/2" Framing Nailer drives full round head nails into dense engineered lumber with power and ease. It drives up to 1,020 framing nails on a single charge using a 40V XGT® 2.5Ah Battery (battery not included). The GNB02 drives 21º plastic collated framing nails from 2" to 3-1/2" in length and .113 to .148 in diameter. It features a two-mode selector switch that allows the operator to select between sequential nailing or bump fire options. It also features an anti-dry fire mechanism engineered to help prevent driving blanks. The Framing Nailer features an anti-slip nose for controlled nailing at an angle. The GNB02 features a “tool-less" depth adjustment engineered for more precise flush and countersink nailing. It weighs only 11.9 lbs. with a 40V XGT® battery (battery not included) for reduced operator fatigue. It also features a rear lock-and-load magazine that holds up to 41 nails for maximum efficiency. An accessory for the GNB02 is the Extended Capacity Magazine Set that holds 78 Nails (1914P2-4, sold separately). Convenience features include a built-in L.E.D. light that illuminates the work area, a belt hook with a retractable, extra-wide tool hook that secures the tool when not in use, and an ergonomically designed handle with a rubberized soft grip that provides increased comfort. *When compared to the Makita 18V LXT® 30º Clipped Head 3 1/2" Framing Nailer (XNB07Z). “Bare Tools” are sold without batteries or chargers, making them ideal for users who already own compatible power sources. However, if you don’t already have the required battery and charger, you must purchase them separately.
