About Makita AF506 2" Brad Nailer, 18 Gauge
Overall Feedback:
88% positive
71% appreciated the adjustable depth control, though 29% found it limited
I did not mention the adjustability of the power-brad-nailer.
77% praised the durable and low-maintenance design, though 23% experienced issues with wear and tear
I have used it only once, so I can't comment on its long-term durability or suitability for professional use.
I am disappointed with the new nailer as it is not as durable as the one I had for 28 years.
After 15 minutes of use, the grip started separating from the body and I had to deal with multiple jams before completing the first rack of nails.
I found flaws in the tool shortly after using it and am disappointed.

81% appreciated the easy loading and unloading, while 19% struggled with the process
I use the air blower to clean the work surface from time to time, as it is a good feature.
The air nozzle on the back of the nailer is difficult to use with an odd angle.
66% liked the comfortable grip and handling, though 34% found it fatiguing
After 15 minutes of use, the grip of the Brad Nailer started separating from the body.
I noticed that the silicon rubber grip on the handle got loose because of poor glue.
78% liked the quiet operation, though 22% found it excessively loud
It is not possible to rephrase as it is already in first person.
73% found it to be a high-performance nailer, but 27% experienced jamming issues
The nailer's performance is excellent, easily punching 15 to 50mm brads.
I experienced multiple jams with the brad nailer and noticed the grip separating from the body after 15 minutes of use.
I have noticed that the gun does not sink nails fully unless the tip contacts the work piece, which is not ideal.
