Contractors — the next generation of nailing tools has arrived. We’re excited to announce that **Makita’s 18V LXT® Cordless Nailer Series** is now available at **Rice Lumber**, starting with the long-awaited **30° Clipped Head 3-1/2" Framing Nailer (XNB07Z)**. Makita has truly delivered a game-changer for pros who demand cordless freedom without compromising pneumatic power.

And it doesn’t stop there. The **Finish Nailer (XNB06Z)** and **Brad Nailer (XNB04Z)** are also joining our lineup soon, giving you a complete system for every stage of the job from framing to finishing.

### **1. Framing Made Easy**

Makita XNB07 18V LXT® Cordless Framing Nailer

If you’ve been waiting for a cordless framing solution that performs like a pneumatic, your wait is over. The Makita XNB07Z drives full-clipped head nails up to 3-1/2” into dense engineered lumber with the same strength and consistency you’d expect from a compressor setup.

**Key Features:**

- **True Pneumatic Power:** Delivers powerful performance for framing, decking, and sheathing applications.
- **Two Nailing Modes:** Choose between **sequential** or **bump fire** for speed or precision.
- **Long Runtime:** Drives up to **1,000 nails per charge** on a single 6.0Ah battery (sold separately).
- **Jobsite-Ready Design:** Weighs only **11.9 lbs.**, includes an **anti-slip nose**, **LED work light**, **rafter hook**, and a **rear lock-and-load magazine** with 58-nail capacity.
- **Tool-Less Adjustments:** Depth adjustment and jam clearing keep you efficient and productive on site.

Whether you’re framing walls, installing sheathing, or building decks, the XNB07 is built to handle tough materials and long days without the cords or compressor.

### **2. Smooth Finish Every Time**

**Makita XNB06Z 18V LXT® 16-Gauge Angled Finish Nailer**

For door casings, trim, and cabinetry, the **Makita XNB06Z** delivers precision and power in one compact, cordless package. It’s designed to provide **up to 1.5x faster nailing speeds** than comparable cordless models while maintaining control and consistency across hardwoods and softwoods alike.

**Key Features:**

- **Class-Leading Speed:** Up to 2,750 nails per charge (with 5.0Ah battery).
- **Powerful & Clean:** Drives 16-gauge angled nails **from 1-1/4” to 2-1/2”** sub-flush into hardwood and softwood.
- **Compact & Balanced:** Weighs just **6.6 lbs.** with battery — 14% lighter than the framer for less fatigue.
- **Built-In Precision:** Slim nose design for tight spaces and accurate placement.
- **Convenience & Safety:** Features **anti-dry fire**, **LED light**, and **tool-less depth adjustment**.

This cordless finish nailer eliminates hoses and compressors — ideal for interior finish work where mobility and speed make all the difference.

### **3. Detail Work Perfected**

Makita XNB04Z 18V LXT® 18-Gauge Brad Nailer

For trim, paneling, and fine detail work, the **Makita XNB04Z** delivers unmatched precision. This tool drives **9/16” to 2” brad nails** at **up to 2x faster speeds**, offering the smooth control contractors need for clean results on visible surfaces.

**Key Features:**

- **Consistent Performance:** Drives up to **4,250 nails per charge** with a 5.0Ah battery.
- **Compact & Lightweight:** Weighs only **6.1 lbs.** for all-day comfort and maneuverability.
- **Flawless Finish:** Equipped with **non-marring rubber nose**, **bumpers**, and **two removable no-mar tips** for surface protection.
- **Tool-Less Adjustments:** Easy jam clearing and precise depth control.
- **Cordless Convenience:** No compressor, no hose — just clean, quiet, and efficient operation.

Engineered for reliability, the XNB04 is part of Makita’s **18V LXT® System**, the world’s largest cordless tool lineup powered by 18V lithium-ion batteries with the fastest charge times in the industry.

### **Why You Would Need All Three**

Each tool brings something unique to the job but together, they create a powerful, fully cordless system that can take you from framing to finish without missing a beat.

- **Framer (XNB07):** Heavy-duty power for structural builds.
- **Finish Nailer (XNB06):** Clean, professional results for trim and finish carpentry.
- **Brad Nailer (XNB04):** Precision for the fine details that make your work stand out.

By switching to Makita’s 18V LXT® cordless platform, you’ll save time on setup, move freely around your jobsite, and enjoy consistent power across all your tools and all with one battery system.
