This bundle pairs the Makita XNB08Z 18V LXT Brushless 2-1/2 in. 15 Gauge Angled Finish Nailer with the Makita BL1860B 18V LXT 6.0Ah Battery, so the tool-only nailer comes with a full-size LXT pack. Model Numbers: XNB08Z (18V LXT 15 Ga. Angled Finish Nailer, tool only), BL1860B (18V LXT 6.0Ah Battery).

The XNB08Z is a cordless angled finish nailer built for finish carpenters, remodelers, and cabinet installers who want 15 gauge holding power without a compressor and hose. It drives 1-1/4 in. to 2-1/2 in. 15 gauge DA style angled finish nails from a magazine that holds up to 108 nails. A slim nose improves access and placement in confined areas, tool-less depth adjustment supports flush or countersink nailing, and a tool-less easy-clear nose speeds up jam clearing.

An anti-dry fire mechanism helps prevent driving blanks, and a two-mode selector switches between sequential and bump fire. Non-marring rubber nose and bumpers help protect painted and prefinished trim, removable no-mar tips store on the tool, and a built-in LED light and belt hook round it out. The brushless motor supports runtime on the LXT platform, and Star Protection Computer Controls guard against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. Makita lists the weight at 7.3 lbs. with battery.

The BL1860B is an 18V LXT 6.0Ah lithium-ion battery with up to 2X more run time per charge than the BL1830, a full charge in 55 minutes or less on a Makita Rapid Optimum Charger, and an onboard LED charge level indicator. It is a Star Protection battery, matching the XNB08Z's requirement for Makita 18V batteries with the Star symbol. It delivers consistent power down to -4°F/-20°C and resists self-discharge in storage.

This is the right buy for trim carpenters and remodelers who want to leave the compressor in the truck and already have a Makita 18V LXT charger, or plan to add one.
