Editorial Review:
Makitas AN922 pneumatic framing nailer is a lightweight (only 8.4 lbs.) yet sturdy framing nailer, firing 2in. to 3 1/2in., 22deg plastic or wire collated round- head nails. The easy-load, rugged aluminum magazine is as simple as inserting the nails and pulling back on the pusher rod. A built-in ceramic air filter system prevents debris from entering the tool, extending tool life and reducing down time. The 9 quick-dial depth adjustment settings give you precise control of nail depth. Nose piece with sure-grip spikes prevents slipping. Operating PSI: 65 - 120, Fastners Used: Framing Nails, Fastner Sizes (in.): 2 - 3 1/2, Adjustable Depth Contol: Yes, Coil or Strip: Strip, Inlet Size (in.): 1/4, Min. Hose Size (in.): 3/8, Case Included: No, Tool Length (in.): 8.4, Tool Weight (lbs.): 21 1/2

Good gun but..:
Round head nails are widely spaced in the strips as opposed to clip-headed nails. This means reloading twice as often. I bought my nails through Amazon, at a great price, even if shipping wasn't free as stated, and they got here before the gun.Personally I am very satisfied with the gun, but if I used it full time I would get a clipped head model.
Nice Nailer but if you don't have a ton of framing to do.....:
Nice nailer, but if you are someone that doesn't have a ton of framing to do, be aware that you will have to purchase nails in the thousands. I am a homeowner who just needed to stud out a basement. I had trouble finding nails, for this nailer, in my area. I could not find any in my local home centers. I also had the problem of my local lumber yard not wanting to sell me a box of nails unless it said "Makita AN922" in the "compatible with" list on the side of the box. I ended up going to an... more info
Top choice.:
I got a good deal on this, used it 2x, and bought another one. I'm glad I did; it's for me the best all around frame gun. It combines durability (taken a couple big falls no problem) with finesse like the adjustment knob and slide. Never jammed in a several boxes of nails. Like the slide. A nice detail is the rubber piece for doing finish work (used that 2 times) and how its held on the slide. The only nailgun I've seen that looks good (hitachis are hideous but good IMO). Good power when I nail advantek, it... more info
Framing Nailer:
I like this nailer over all. I used this nailer mostly for single fire mode to attach nailers in remodel work. I am not a framer so it serves very little purpose compared to other reviewers. However, yesterday I put in some 1/2" sheathing and had the depth adjuster malfunction on me. Its like the wood was too hard for it so when it went to kick back after it fired the reprocussion was so strong that is would bump the depth adjuster to a different setting every time. It sucked, I was wondering at first if it... more info
