Hitachi NV65AH 2-1/2-Inch Coil Siding Nailer Review

Leave a reply

Customer reviews: (4.3 / 5)

Nailing together fence boards, cement boards, siding, packaging and deck railing no longer means painful hammering or lugging heavy nailers around all day. The Hitachi NV65AH is a lighter nailer than most (at 4.6 pounds) with a well-balanced design to help professional users as well as amateur home builders/renovators shoot nails easily.

Made by a brand known for its professional quality power tools, this coil nailer is somewhat on the higher end with prices ranging between $249 and $397. This may make it expensive for the occasional user, but for regular users it is a worthy investment for the hours saved and ease of use.

Nail Siding And More Swiftly All Day

The air powered Hitachi NV65AH coil nailer is a nailer gun that drives 1 1/2 inch to 2 1.2 inch plastic or wire coil siding nails, allowing great flexibility in the projects that can be undertaken with the gun. Its applications are by no means limited to siding and trim. Users have used the Hitachi nailer with smaller nails (as long as they are coil nails with normal heads) since the nail tray adjusts to different lengths. The gun is just as suitable for fencing as it is for installing Hardipanel or other fiber-cement products. It can also be used for attaching wall and roof sheathing, decking, crate and pallet construction as well as mobile home and modular home construction. The NV65AH by Hitachi is a pneumatic nail gun, ideally powered by air pressures of between 70 to 120 psi through a 3/8 inch air inlet, making nailing faster and easier than a standard electric nailer and significantly faster than a frame hammer. There are several other features that the NV65AH offers users for professional quality nailing.

Ge Flush Nail Every Time

The most prominent feature of the Hitachi NV65AH is the adjustable drive depth, which helps to ensure that every nail penetrates to the same depth every single time. The adjuster provides great accuracy in dialing in the depth to which the nails will be driven. It is absolutely essential in some cases, especially for cement board siding or cedar, that the correct drive depth is maintained, which makes this nailer a boon to own.

Easy Grip, Light And Flexible

A comfortable rubber hand grip and a no-mar tip that doesn’t damage surfaces make this nailer a breeze to use all day. At 4.6 pounds, it weighs at least a pound lighter than most other pneumatic nail guns, and you can certainly feel the difference when you use your gun all day.

Hitachi NV65AH Features and Specifications

· Anodized aluminum body.

· Accepts Coil as well as wire or plastic sheet collation.

· Wire collation is deflected by a plastic shield for additional safety.

· Magazine capacity of 200 to 300 nails.

· Magazine angle of 16 degrees for wire and 15 degrees for plastic nails.

· Ideal and safe operating pressure of 70 to 120 psi.

· Air deflector can pivot 360 degrees.

· Intermittent and continuous firing options.

· Easy depth of drive adjustment for countersinking or flush driving nails.

· Comes with a pair of hex bar wrenches and a pair of safety glasses.

Pros

With its specifications and features, the advantages of the Hitachi NV65AH siding nailer are evident. It is a lightweight yet powerful siding gun that is comfortable to use even with one hand. The nailer lets you make quick and easy nail depth adjustments so that you can effortlessly fire away on siding and not have to pull out a hammer to fix proud nails.

The Hitachi NV65AH pneumatic nail gun is gives you two different firing options. Intermittent firing option lets you use the nail gun trigger to control firing. The continuous firing option lets you sink a nail each time the nose cap meets the work surface, so that you can cover large areas with great ease.

The light weight and ease of maneuvering means is possible because of the great balance of the nailer, unlike most other coil nailers. It is not nose heavy, and is very comfortable to use all day if needed.

Cons

Even a seeming flawless product like the NV65AH siding coil nailer by Hitachi must have its flaws. The major issue that most users have had with the gun is that the single shot upgrade kit, which is available separately, is not included within the price of this nailer. The nail gun fires multiple nails so smoothly that it can be a little intimidating for those who don’t know their way around with nailers. Of course the upgrade kit can be purchased to fix this issue.

Another problem a handful of users have faced is that the plastic shield keeps falling off. This is a minor flaw in the few cases it has occurred, and can be fixed with a shield replacement.

Currently this Hitachi nailer has earned 53 customer reviews with an average rating of 4.3 out of 5, indicating that all customers have rated it between 4 and 5 stars.

If you are looking for a professional-quality light air powered coil nailer for siding, fencing etc. that is easy to use all day and lets you accurately adjust the depth of nail drive, the Hitachi NV65AH is the ideal nail gun for you.

Hitachi NP35A 23-Gauge Micro Pin Nailer Review

Leave a reply

Customer reviews: (4.6 / 5)

INTRODUCTION TO THE PRODUCT

When dealing with very small or delicate block of wood one of the most common problems that you are likely to encounter is splitting of the wood when nailing. In most cases, the damage is too big that you have to replace the wood with a different piece. However, the Hitachi NP35A comes in to solve this problem for you. Whether you had to nail delicate pieces of wood, or you simply want to clamp them as the glue sets, then this nailer is the perfect tool for you.

PRICE RANGE

High quality is always associated with a big price tag, but the Hitachi NP35A is proving this to be a great misconception. Retailing at between $83 and $90 this pin nailer is quality at a small price tag. Despite the very affordable price, the NP35A provides quality that most other nailer manufacturers can only dream of.

WHO WOULD BUY THIS PRODUCT

If you occasionally do any woodwork at home or you are a full time woodworker, then this is one tool that that you should have in your toolkit. Most woodwork projects will always include small pieces of wood for the finishing and to nail this you will need the Hitachi NP35A. Micro pin nailers are very effective in nailing small pieces of woods, and they have been tested in nailing subtle pieces of wood for example matchsticks without splitting them.

PERFECT RUBBER GRIP

If you cannot grasp on your micro pin nailer then working with it will be a tough job on its own. Hitachi NP35A is designed to ensure that the grasp is the least of your worries when working with this tool. The perfectly molded rubber grab will fit all of your four fingers perfectly without any hustle. This will be done without brushing on the trigger and hence you should not also worry about firing pins unintentionally.

FINELY POINTED NOSE

When placing pins on very small blocks of wood accuracy is paramount as there is no room to make mistakes. The finely pointed nose (no-mar tip) that is fitted in this pin nailer ensures that you maintain this accuracy. The nose is also brightly colored in orange to further improve accuracy and visibility. This protective tip is what defines a good pin nailer.

MAIN FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS

• The Hitachi NP35A has an extended magazine to store more pins (150 pins) which ensures you get more work done without having to refill the magazine.

• It has two triggers one being the actual trigger for firing pins, and the other is a safety trigger.

• It is fitted with an exhaust pipe to keep the work-space clean at all times.

• This nailer weighs 2 pounds and measures 9-3/8 inches by 6-3/8 inches.

• The kit includes safety glasses to keep your eyes safe when using this tool. There is also a manual to help you understand the tool better.

PROS

The Hitachi NP35A is one of the most accurate pin nailers if not the most accurate currently available in the market. This micro nailer is so accurate and efficient that you can pin a toothpick or matchstick accurately without splitting. When using this tool, you will hardly get any pins coming out of the sides or failing to reach the intended depth.

This micro pin nailer is so compact that it can fit in very tight areas. This will make sure that you can nail areas that would be impossible for ordinary nailers to reach. Many pin nailers comparisons will give it a very high rating when compactness is used as criteria for comparison.

The handle feels very nice and comfortable to hold and work with for long periods of time. The rubber grip is perfectly molded to fit your four fingers without interfering with the trigger.

CONS

One and probably the only disadvantage with this nailer is that it has a long magazine that some people might consider bulky. However, this long magazine has more advantages than disadvantages. One of them is that it will carry more pins than any other micro pin nailer in the same category. The extra weight is also insignificant, and you would hardly notice it when working with this tool.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS AND SCORE

Currently, the Hitachi NP35A micro pin nailer has 169 reviews on Amazon with an average score of 4.6 stars out of 5 stars. This score shows that most customers gave it 4.5-5 stars. This is an excellent score by all standards.
