Justin Hernandez Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 The nailers look so ugly, I like the 12volt stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Yea, the nailers look bulky for some reason. I think its the way they designed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjbutler1 Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Great to see them coming out with a bunch new tools!!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Hernandez Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 The battery makes the tool look big on the 23 gauge nailer, the second one is just all wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinthecity Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Those flood lights look nice.... I'd love to see a comparison of their new drill/driver.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERemodeling Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Man that 18 GA nailer is fugly! Let's hope they went with the function over form design idea and the thing works like no other!!The flood lights are a great idea. Don't expect them to be as bright as a 500w halogen though.. at 750 lumens they work out to be similar to a 60w bulb. Still pretty decent especially with two going. I can't help but wonder if the 12v is being marketed mostly towards homeowners.. the slide pack might mean they are catering to smaller hands and the fact that they didn't seem to make the tools very compact or roll out high end tech.. maybe they will come out with a second Gen soon that is more super compact pro oriented.Come on makita... let's hurry it up with the BL reciprocating saw!!!

Swaglosrevival Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I think they wanted the top to be smaller I guess? Lol it is very ugly tho. Still want it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kornomaniac Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 Because of the fugly form of it. If you hold it upside down you can shoot nails very close to the floor.It works good but the weight imbalance is annoying 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
