help Makita AN954 FAQ
What degree of nails does the Makita AN954 framing nailer use?
The Makita AN954 is a 30-degree full round head pneumatic framing nailer. It is designed to fire 30-degree paper-collated framing nails specifically. This steeper magazine angle is highly preferred by framers because it allows for easier access into tight corners and cramped spaces compared to 21-degree nailers.
What size nails can the Makita AN954 drive?
This framing nailer is capable of driving full round head nails measuring between 2 inches and 3.5 inches in length. This size range covers everything from structural sheathing and decking to heavy-duty framing and fencing. You can easily adjust the depth of drive dial to ensure the nail heads sit flush with the wood.
Is the Makita AN954 a cordless or pneumatic nailer?
The Makita AN954 is a strictly pneumatic nailer, meaning it requires a separate air compressor and air hose to operate. While this means you are tethered to a hose, it provides consistent, high-PSI driving power without the added weight of a lithium-ion battery. It is built with a durable, lightweight aluminum body to counteract the tether.
How do I clear a nail jam in the Makita AN954?
The AN954 features a tool-free jam release mechanism located at the nose of the gun. If a nail gets stuck, you simply flip open the latching cover at the front to expose the track. This allows you to quickly pull out the jammed nail with your fingers in seconds, minimizing downtime on the job site.
