The 18V LXT 1/4” Narrow Crown Stapler, 18 Ga., (XTS02) delivers class-leading cordless performance with up to 1.25x faster stapling speeds*. It can powerfully drive staples sub-flush in both hardwood and softwood.

The 1/4” Narrow Crown Stapler features a slim nose design that allows easy nailing access in confined areas and assists with accurate nail placement. It features an ultra-compact ergonomic design and weighs only 6.3 lbs. with battery for improved maneuverability (battery sold separately). It is equipped with an anti-dry fire mechanism engineered to help prevent driving blanks.

The XTS02 features a two-mode selector switch that allows the operator to select sequential nailing or bump fire options. It features a “tool-less" depth adjustment engineered for more precise flush and countersink nailing.

The XTS02 is engineered to drive the most staples per charge in its class; up to 4,500 staples per charge with a 5.0Ah battery and 1,800 staples with a 2.0Ah 18V LXT® battery (batteries sold separately). It drives a range of 18 gauge 1/4” narrow crown staples from 3/8" to 1-1/2", with a magazine capacity up to 110 staples. It features a "tool-less" easy to clear nose for fast nail extraction.

The 1/4” Narrow Crown Stapler features a non-marring rubber nose and bumpers protect the wood surface from being scratched or damaged and includes two removable no-mar tips with convenient on-tool storage.

Convenience features include a built-in L.E.D. light illuminates the work area, a belt hook that secures the tool when not in use, and an ergonomically designed handle with rubberized soft grip provides increased comfort. The Brad Nailer was engineered to be cordless for increased convenience to eliminate the need for a compressor and air hose, giving the user greater mobility for a variety of applications.

It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT® System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita® 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.

For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita® 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
