This review is from: Hitachi NT50AES 3/4-Inch to 2-Inch 18 Gauge Brad Nailer (Tools & Hardware)

this little guy kicks total butt! not only lighter and smaller but it is cheaper then the PC 18ga nail gun. have no resverations about investing in this tool. i have used it for all kinds of finishing work and it shoots nails stright and never misfires. the safty allows you to see exctaly where the nail is going, unlike the new PCs that have that annoying peice of plastic on the tip. Sure Hitachi might have some probloms with some of its cordless tools but this guy works all the time everytime.

This review is from: Hitachi NT50AES 3/4-Inch to 2-Inch 18 Gauge Brad Nailer (Tools & Hardware)

I won't name the "B" brand that I had to replace that used the same guage and length nails but will share some thoughts.

When my "B" brand nailer quit firing, I disassembled it to see if I could figure out what was wrong - assuming a jammed nail. Nope. Went further and discovered the piston seal was assembled incorrectly from the factory and had an indentation in it that ended up making the piston seal fail. No "user servicable parts" were available so I had a one year old paperweight.

When I got the Hitachi, I went ahead and checked the internals to be sure there was no repeat of the above problem. Boy was I amazed at how much better built the Hitachi is! Beefier parts, less plastic and slight differences in construction, all positives! And it cost twenty bucks less to boot! Buy it, you'll like it. Based on its' construction, I'm guessing it will last well past the year of the previous nailer I had.

The most reliable 2" 18 gauge brad gun that I have ever purchased. I have tried them all and now I have 5 Hitachi's. Amazon carries this gun $10-$15 cheaper than the home center's and has free shipping. Enough said.
