Product Information

g brake cleaner); and which won't let you down on a night or weekend job because the gas canister is out of date, or the cannister adaptor doesn't work or the the damned thing just doesn't have any pressure in it. We used the tool for several months on an interior partition framing remodel and were able to get about half a day of heavy framing, and full days on lighter days. One of their greatest selling points is that it fires immediately thanks to their air spring drive system. The biggest differencev between the gas nailers and cordless nailers is the weight, and on a long hot day that extra weight on your shoulders and arms when working above your head is a real issue. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

There's also a function button here, when the blue light is on the nailer is in single fire mode, if you press it the blue light will flash meaning the nailer is in bump fire mode. If you do not contact us within 14 days of purchase, we will direct you to the manufacturers guidelines.When we tested the Hitachi, we immediately noticed two things: the nailer is extremely fast - even compared to the Dewalt DCN692 - but can feel a little cumbersome after an extended period of time. Meaning when you fire the nailer, the fastener is installed with zero lag, and the piston is immediately reset. The quick load rear access magazine is convenient, as is the two action nail feed - simply drop nails in and pull the feeder back. I do have experience of gas nailers going back as far as the old black stick battery Paslodes (anyone old enough to remember using them? While unboxing it, my initial thought was that the nailer feels a little heavy, but also that the tool’s balance and ergonomics negate that weight.

I have used Hitachi and paslode gas nailers and dewalt battery nailer, this far exceeds them all, very little kick back, good nail penetration unlike dewalt. Cordless nailers have a higher permissable nailing figure because they transmit less shock back into the hand or arm for each nail driven. When the trigger is actuated, compressed air is released, driving the piston down, resulting in the firing pin striking the nail at the same force as a pneumatic. A single push of the selective actuation button lets you toggle between sequential and bump fire methods. That's it, really, but as I have stated before my decision was as much informed by the need for a single battery solution where the second fix nailersxwould be capable of sinking pins in close grained hardwoods.The NR1890DR 18V Cordless Plastic Strip Framing Nailer completely raises the bar for cordless framing nailers. The HiKOKI (formerly known as Hitachi) NR90GC2/J8 cordless gas nail gun is a fantastic alternative to the Paslode IM350 nailgun. White spirit (another nasty, smelly hydrocarbon) apparently doesn't clean efficiently according to the Rawl rep.
