Beware of grip sliding around
I'm a Makita fan, have many tools of this brand. Haven't purchased a new tool from Makita in a couple of years, but with this gun it shoots well, but within the first 2 weeks the grip on the handle started to move as you can in the picture. I don't know if it's bad glue their using or the quality of Makita production had gone to s***. Before buying this gun, I noticed another product review that basically said the same thing and I ignored it. Like I said shoots well, but something like this should happen in a year not 2 weeks, if that
Thank you for your feedback

Wir haben den Nagler nun einige Zeit im Einsatz. Leider enttäuscht er auf ganzer Linie, ständig verhaken und klemmen die Stauchkopfnägel.
Haben jetzt unseren alten wieder im Einsatz.
