Makita DBN600Z Review

The Makita DBN600Z Cordless Nailer is a powerful tool which works with nails between 25mm and 64mm long, driving them into both hard and soft wood with ease. It offers an adjustable driving depth, and two means of releasing nails, namely Single and Series. Single lets you line up and work accurately, and Series lets you work quickly, albeit with less precision.

The Makita DBN600Z has a cordless design, letting you manoeuvre it easily into position without resistance. It's powered by an 18V battery (between 1500mAh and 6000mAh). Note that the battery and charger is sold separately, as you may already have a suitable battery from another cordless Makita tool. We like the nailer's viewing window which lets you see roughly how many nails are left.
