Its cordless design powered by Makita’s 18V LXT battery system ensures flexibility on-site, allowing you to move freely and efficiently across your workspace.

This nailer is equipped with practical features like a two-mode selector (sequential or bump fire), tool-less depth adjustment, and a rear-loading magazine that holds up to 58 nails. With the power to drive up to 1,000 nails per charge (6.0Ah battery), you can stay productive all day. Whether you’re on a high-production framing crew or handling municipal upgrades, the DBN900ZK delivers consistent results with minimal maintenance and downtime.
