Hitachi NT65MA2 Hitachi's new 15 gauge finish nailer offers a selective trigger. This feature prevents all double fires. The NT65MA2 is a lightweight and comfortable tool with a tool-less depth of drive and quick release jam free nose. This tool fires standard 15 gauge nails from 1"- 2 1/2". Additional features on this tool include a unique dust blower.
Long nails into hardwood? No problem. Working overhead? It's only 4.2 pounds. Hate having the exhaust in your face? Tool-free, 360-degree adjustment takes care of that. No time for jams? Clearing takes no more than a couple of seconds because of the quick-release nose. The magazine is made of nylon, but it seems as rugged to us as any metal magazine out there. That's also why this nailer is so easy on the hands. Add to that a nicely padded grip and a selective trigger and you'd think you have the perfect nailer. But get this--there's a built-in dust blower that clears light debris and dust from your workpiece. Hitachi quality leaves nothing to want.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Excellent Finish nailer.:
This nailer from Hitachi is an excellent tool. It is lightweight and quite easy to handle, yet plenty of power to drive long nails in hard woods. The pricing is very reasonable for a quality tool. It uses standard nails readily available. I got this nailer to replace a Senco nailer. The Hitachi works just as well, if not a bit better. Lower cost as well.
Super Tool:
You won't go wrong in purchasing this tool. I purchased one back in May and it has worked flawlessly every time I've used it. It's light weight, easy to load and the depth setting adjusts with just a couple of turns. If you need a solid nailer, this is the one to get.
NOT Made In Japan!:
The Hitachi NT65MA2 appears to be identical to the NT65MA3 but is about $50 more. The only difference seemed to be that the NT65MA2 was made in Japan, while the NT65MA3 was made in Taiwan. That's the only reason I spent the extra money for the NT65MA2. When it arrived, the label said, "Made In Taiwan". It's back in the box, ready to be returned.
so far very nice:
Have used this only a few days, and it's my very first nail gun, so I don't have much to compare it to. It took me awhile to realize that the "no mar" nose piece is clipped onto the magazine. I marred a few pieces of word before realizing this. The gun is very fine quality, comfortable to hold, and so far I have not had a jam or or any problem in over 200 nails (bulls-eye brand, 2.5" galvanized). I must say that the "air blast" button is absurdly located, and you'll wind up hitting it accidentally... more info
