I got the ad after you said it the first time

[edgarcornette]

I do not own any Makita and do not plan to buy any but will watch you review because you have honor, honesty and integrity plus your funny as hell. so love ya brother !

[Frieslick]

This is your magnum opus Tools.. I’ve been waiting at least 4 years for you to make this video. No other reviewer would do.
Only an absolute mad man would shove a strip of twist nails into that beauty and try and fire them. Epic video.

[shifty]

Great review and the 1st in the world with such an in depth video.

Thanks for the effort you put into the channel and in particular Makita video content that is always relevant to the Makita UK market.

Thumbs up.

I have all Makita battery gear, mix of 18 and 40 volt, however will stay with Paslode nail gun.
If serviced and easy to do, never give a problem, weight wise, way ahead of all other nail guns.
Endless discussion around who prefers what, but for me, Paslode all the way.

[FreyGrimrod]

I predict the Makita 40v framing nailer will be released before humanity stops using nails.

[pablo.michelin]

I used it a couple of months ago and my impressions were exactly the same as yours.
Weight wise is out for me, I’m happy with my Paslode framer.
On the other hand let’s see the Makita finishing nailer because the Paslode that I have jams far too often and usually at the worst times.

A bit of extra swearing, I didn’t mind this was one of your most entertaining and funny videos so far.
Don’t quit just yet Tools, what about the table saw, you got to comeback for that one Shirley.

I love you Kiwis, well so does the rest of the world even Aussies, I recon that secretly they are a bit jealous of youse 😂

The good thing about Makita is when you want to fix the tool, it's a lot less expensive, you can buy a switch separately, with all these other brands the switches are attached to the controllers and stators which means the tool is not worth the money to repair if one simple thing goes on it.

[toolscientist]

What a heffer! I'd rather backpack the 40V compressor than hang on to that beast for more than an hour.

[ThaddeusVilain]

The wait is over. And no one reviews better than even internationally

[simondodds]

Haha so good, well done. What an intro!! I knew @ 52min on the thumbnail it was gonna be good.

[Gorrdolph]

Im a BIG makita fan i love your Makita videos. But does she work in -20°c because here in Finland in winter its cold and the Hikoki does not like the cold. So in my opinion the Paslode im90xi is the best nailgun on the market it works when its hot and cold outside.

[CamperKev]

I'm another Makita guy, but I bought the Hikoki nail gun system a few years ago, when I replaced my roof and gables. At that time, Hikoki battery nail guns were way ahead of the competition and Makita were not even in the race regaurding framing guns. Upon this review, I still remain satisfied that my Hikoki nail guns are up there with the best. My only disappointment is now i am running two different battery platforms, rather than just one. What took Makita so long to catch up ?

[GeoffGaudry]

Epic intro mate, I got to try one out yesterday, it’s great.

[roberth]

Holy cow I love how that can opens - no puny hole!

[timchampion]

Perfect way to start the morning😎 thanks mr tools and stuff!

[veryirishexit]

I was excited for a good Makita framing review. I'm waiting to see which powerbase I really invest into for the first time and have a couple Makita items already but, after watching this, I'm more sold on Rigid than any others. In terms of the overlap of most desirable features: Rigid is lighter than Makita and Milwaukee, it sits flat standing up, self-serviced, has auto on off sense (which I've never seen before this video, - thank you for that), good ergonomics, AND appeared to burn the rest on the speed test. Definitely subscribing to this channel. Top notch info. Sincerely, a broke apprentice.

[HeroOfTime]

Mr. Tools, I hope you're well. Would consider making a video of your favorite fasteners (like types and brands you like)? Thanks for reading and considering!

[wayward-saint]

I dream of a Makita subcompact Brad nailer. But some dreams don’t come true…

[abdcontractingltd]

We are a full on Makita crew, have every specialized tool out there for remodeling and I now am unsure about buying this nailer. We have the paslode gas and it has been absolutely unreal for 5 years
