Hi all first post on here

Looking for some information on these makita nail guns.. I have read that there were problems with the gn900 gas nailer
and im wondering if anyone knows what those problems were and more importantly is the Gn900se a revised second edition that has had these issue's fixed??

I just parted with the best part of 400 quid for this thing an i am reading they break after one box of nails. i emailed makita and all they would tell me is it has a years warrenty nothing about the issues or if they have been resolved or even what the differences are between the gn900 & gn900se but i know there are some differences as they have different spare part numbers??

has anyone else had the GN900SE? (did it break?)

if anyone here could help clarify, did i just buy a lemon? :dunno:
