Makita has added a new 18V LXT Framing Nailer to its range of high-performance cordless tools.
The new DBN900 offers significant advantages over pneumatic and gas nailers including improved ease of use and greater working flexibility.
The DBN900 18V LXT Framing Nailer, explicitly designed for first-fix framing applications, can be used in the same way as a pneumatic nailer but without the additional setup time, complication and restriction of a compressor and air lines.
In addition, unlike gas nailers, the DBN900 has no additional consumables, reducing the cost and inconvenience of replacing the cartridges.
The latest addition to Makita’s range of cordless nailers, the DBN900 is compatible with clipped-head nails between 50 mm and 90 mm and nail gauges between 2.9 mm and 3.3 mm. Its magazine will accommodate up to 58 collated nails and incorporates a quick and easy reloading mechanism.The inspection window makes it simple to check the number of nails remaining. It also features a variable drive depth, with the required adjustment made using the easy-to-use dial on the nose of the tool.
Furthermore, the DBN900 features two operation modes.
In sequential actuation mode, it drives a nail each time the trigger is pressed, while the contact actuation mode allows continuous nailing, with a nail driven every time the tip is pressed to the material for as long as the trigger is held.
A Makita 6.0Ah LXT battery (BL1860B) can drive up to 1000 nails on a full battery charge at a rate of up to two nails per second.The DBN900 has been designed for both convenience and enhanced safety.
The anti-slip nose of the tool makes working on angled materials easier and more accurate, while the LED job light with pre-glow and after-glow functions improves the visibility of the work surface.
It features both a rafter hook and belt hook, allowing it to be hung on ladders, scaffolding and timbers or clipped to the user, keeping it close at hand.
The DBN900 also includes both an anti-dry-firing mechanism, which activates before the last nails in the magazine are driven to prevent missed nails, and an anti-restart function to prevent accidental activation.
Kevin Brannigan, Marketing Manager at Makita UK said:
“Our new, long awaited DBN900 18V LXT framing nailer is an excellent alternative to the conventional pneumatic or gas nailers and has been engineered to streamline framing tasks and similar first fix work.
“It is easy to use, even in restricted spaces and offers far greater flexibility when compared to traditional pneumatic tools.”
