Hitachi NR90AE Round Head 2-Inch to 3-1/2-Inch Framing Nailer Review

FEATURES:

- Round-head 2- to 3-1/2-inch framing nailer with selective actuation switch (sequential or bump) for convenience.
- 70-120 psi operating pressure; simple tool-free depth adjustment; vibration isolation pads mounted on nose.
- 2-piece anodized aluminum magazine, comfortable non-slip rubber grip.

This Hitachi framing nailer all the features of the more expensive Hitachi Units, but appears to be lighter weight. As with most nailers, there is no standard case included, and for some reason Hitachi chooses not to include the standard 3/8" NPT connector. Also nowhere on the box does it inform you of the angle of the nails used in this nailer (21 degree plastic collated full-round-head stick nails).

There are some nice new features over the N83 worth mentioning 1) The gun load from the rear as opposed the old top loading mechanism. This is faster and can be done with the gun in any position even upside down. 2) The depth adjustment is done with a knob next to the trigger which is new to hitachi and it works well. 3) The gun can be set to either bounce trigger or single fire. Once more a splendid nailer from Hitachi.
