This bundle pairs the Makita XNB03Z 18V LXT Cordless 21-Degree Full Round Head 3-1/2 in. Framing Nailer with the Makita BL1860B 18V LXT 6.0Ah Battery, so the tool-only nailer comes with the battery Makita rates it on. Model Numbers: XNB03Z (cordless framing nailer, tool only), BL1860B (18V 6.0Ah lithium-ion battery).

The XNB03Z drives 21 degree plastic collated full round head framing nails from 2 in. to 3-1/2 in. long with .113 in. to .148 in. shank diameters into dense engineered lumber. It uses a brushless motor on Makita's 18V LXT platform, and Makita states it can drive up to 1,000 framing nails on a single charge with an 18V LXT 6.0Ah battery.

A two-mode selector switches between sequential nailing for placement and bump fire for speed. Tool-less depth adjustment handles flush or countersink nailing as material density changes, the anti-slip nose helps at an angle, and the anti-dry fire mechanism prevents blank drives when the magazine runs low. The rear lock-and-load magazine holds 41 nails, with Makita's 1914P2-4 extended capacity magazine set available separately for 78. A built-in LED light, retractable extra-wide hook, belt hook, and rafter hook round it out. Makita lists the tool at 11.9 lbs with battery.

The BL1860B is an 18V, 6.0Ah Makita battery pack, the high-capacity option for users who would rather keep working than swap packs.

Who should buy it? Framers, remodelers, deck builders, and contractors who want a cordless framing nailer and need a battery to run it. If you already own an 18V LXT charger, this is a ready-to-run setup.
