Makita XTP02Z 18V LXT 23-Gauge Pin Nailer (Tool Only) – Up to 5,300 Pins per Charge

Meet the Makita XTP02Z 23-Gauge Pin Nailer

The Makita XTP02Z offers a hose-free, cordless solution for fastening tiny pin nails into delicate trim, casings, molding, and baseboards. Built for comfort and precision, this tool anchors these features to a compact, powerful 18V platform that keeps your workspace tidy and mobile.

Powered by Makita’s 18V LXT system, the XTP02Z eliminates the need for air hoses while delivering reliable pin driving. A refined firing mechanism helps reduce recoil, so you can move fluidly along longer runs without fatigue. When you’re working on trim or decorative details, the ability to choose from six pin lengths (5/8 in, 11/16 in, 3/4 in, 1 in, 1-3/16 in, 1-3/8 in) covers a broad range of profiles and board thicknesses. The magazine holds up to 120 pin nails, reducing reload interruptions and keeping the rhythm of your project intact.

Beyond versatility, this nailer brings peace of mind with an anti-dry fire mechanism that prevents blank drives and potential surface damage. The tool-less depth adjustment lets you dial in flush or countersink finishes with ease, helping you achieve a refined, professional look on every piece.

Reliability comes from Makita’s Star Protection Computer Controls, which enable real-time communication between tool and battery to guard against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. The XTP02Z is compatible with Makita 18V LXT and compact batteries marked with the Star symbol, giving you flexibility in battery choice and runtime. This is the kind of on-site tool that supports a cleaner, more efficient workflow—especially on projects where space is tight or hoses would get in the way.

Usage tips

Test pin lengths on sample pieces to dial in the perfect depth, then apply a light touch for consistent flush results. When in doubt, start with a shorter pin and adjust as needed for your project.
