Key Features
Overview
The Makita XNB09Z 18V LXT Brushless 2-1/2-in. Positive Placement Metal Connector Nailer is a cordless positive placement nailer for fastening metal connectors in wood-frame construction. This is a metal connector nailer designed for installing joist hangers, hurricane and rafter ties, and framing angles and brackets. The model number is XNB09Z, and it ships as a tool only with a hex wrench, belt hook, rafter hook and tool case. Battery and charger are sold separately.
It delivers the power of a pneumatic metal connector nailer without an air compressor, electrical cords or air hoses. It accepts 30 to 35 degree paper-collated metal connector nails from 1-1/2 in. to 2-1/2 in. long with .131 in. to .162 in. shank diameter, which covers the common short and full-length connector nails specified for hangers and ties. Makita says it drives metal connector nails into dense engineered lumber with power and ease.
Positive placement is the whole point of this tool. The 50% longer nail guide aligns the fastener with the hole in the metal connector before the nail fires, so you hit the hole instead of the steel. Tool-less depth adjustment gives precise control when setting nails flush against the connector, and an anti-dry fire mechanism helps prevent driving blanks when the magazine runs empty.
The rear lock-and-load magazine holds 31 nails. Makita rates the tool at up to 1,000 metal connector nails on a single charge with an 18V LXT 6.0Ah battery. A built-in LED lights the work area for dim crawlspaces and under-floor framing, and a retractable extra-wide belt hook plus a rafter hook keep the nailer close when you are on a ladder or up in the trusses.
The nailer weighs 10 lbs. without a battery and 11.5 lbs. with an 18V LXT 6.0Ah battery. The handle is ergonomically designed with a rubberized soft grip, and the motor is brushless.
It runs on any Makita 18V LXT slide-style battery. Star Protection Computer Controls protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating with star-marked batteries.
Who should buy it: framing crews, deck builders, structural and remodeling contractors, and anyone installing a lot of joist hangers and hurricane ties who wants to stop hand-nailing connectors or dragging a hose to every hanger.

Pro Tip
Set depth with the tool-less adjuster on a scrap piece of lumber with a connector on it before you start. You want the nail head snug against the steel without denting the connector. Recheck when you switch from 1-1/2 in. to 2-1/2 in. nails.

Tool Nut's Take
Stop Hand-Nailing Hangers
The Makita XNB09Z 18V LXT Brushless 2-1/2-in. Positive Placement Metal Connector Nailer puts pneumatic-class connector nailing on an 18V LXT battery.
- Who it's for: Framers and deck builders who set dozens of hangers and ties per day.
- Why it stands out: The 50% longer nail guide, up to 1,000 nails per 6.0Ah charge, and tool-less depth adjustment.
- Worth knowing: Tool only. At 11.5 lbs. with a 6.0Ah battery it is heavier than a palm nailer, but it is far faster across a whole floor system.
