This bundle pairs the Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless 2-1/2-in. Straight Finish Nailer, 16-Gauge with the Makita 18V LXT 5.0Ah Battery, so the bare-tool nailer comes with the battery Makita uses for its runtime rating. Model Numbers: XNB02Z (18V LXT 16-gauge straight finish nailer, tool only), BL1850B (18V LXT 5.0Ah lithium-ion battery).

The XNB02Z is a cordless finish nailer for trim carpentry, baseboard and crown installation, flooring, and woodworking. It drives 16 gauge straight finish nails from 1 inch to 2-1/2 inches, and the rear lock-and-load magazine holds up to 110 nails. Tool-less depth adjustment lets you set flush or countersunk fastening, a 2-mode selector switch controls nailing operation, and the tool-less nose makes jam clearing fast. An anti-dry fire mechanism helps prevent blank firing, a built-in LED lights the work area, and two removable no-mar tips help protect finished material.

The compact center height and narrow nose improve line of sight at the fastening point, which matters when you are working into corners or along molding profiles. With no compressor or hose, you can move room to room, climb ladders, and work in occupied spaces without dragging air lines across finished walls.

The BL1850B is an 18V LXT 5.0Ah lithium-ion battery. Makita rates the XNB02Z at up to 1,000 finish nails per charge on an 18V LXT 5.0Ah battery, and the pack fits the rest of the Makita 18V LXT lineup. The nailer uses Makita Star Protection Computer Controls to monitor for overloading, over-discharging, and overheating when paired with Makita batteries that carry the Star symbol.

This bundle is for trim carpenters, remodelers, and flooring installers who want cordless finish nailing and need a full-size LXT battery to run it. You will need a Makita 18V LXT charger, which is not included.
