Hitachi NR90AE Round Head 2-Inch to 3-1/2-Inch Framing Nailer |
Editorial Review:
Hitachi's superior design and engineering make this a top-of-the-list choice for a framing nailer, just as hardworking as the NR83 model that preceded it, but with a few major improvements.
We like the way Hitachi's integrated both types of trigger, so there's no need to replace anything - just flip the lever on the tool down for bump or up for sequential firing. Also tool-free is the depth-of-fire adjustment: Just turn a small knob to set your depth. It's even easier than adjusting the air pressure.
This nailer has a 21-degree angled magazine and fires nails from 2 inches to 3-1/2 inches, a wider range than the old NR83 handled. Loading is much faster and easier on this gun, too, because Hitachi's redesign repositioned the loading mechanism at the rear of the magazine. A maximum of 64 plastic-strip collated full round head nails will fit in the magazine, but reloading takes a few seconds, so there's no downside to that. This is one of the most jam-free guns we've used; it just fires and fires. Should you find a way to jam it, the procedure to clear the jam is super fast and couldn't be easier.
The balance of this tool is incredible; at a relatively light 7-1/2 pounds, you'd expect to feel a little strain after using this gun for a few hours, but the ergonomics are fantastic. Hats off to Hitachi on this redesign. And of course, you'll notice immediately the difference in appearance between this gun and its predecessor. It's sporting Hitachi's hot new look, with brighter colors and a flame-like graphic, better suited, we think, to the new personality of this fantastic nailer.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

NR90AE=quality, value, power--an awesome pneumatic nailer!:
Had this nailer 2 1/2 years. The Hitachi NR90AE was my first power nailer, but not my first pneumatic tool--whoever designed it must have used a nailer themselves. Satisfying but not bone-jarring recoil makes a big difference in better accuracy and reducing fatigue. Its lighter and better balanced than anything else my large local retail store had, and they had plenty. Decent nails of any length feed flawlessly. A storage case would've been nice but we can't always get what we want. I got all I wanted in...

Great Nailer-Light-Dependable:
I bought this gun after I had a Senco framing nailer stolen out of my shop. I am a carpenter by trade and I have put this nailer to the test and it has never failed.
It is lightweight which is a big plus for a nailer. It holds a good bit of nails, I can get three racks in at once which is very nice. I always oil my nailers each day before they are used and this seems to help them last and function correctly.
It has a great feature that lets you select between shooting multiple nails without...more info
Unbelievable performance:
I bought this nailer from a local retail store at a clearance sale price. The job was to frame and finish a 1600 square feet basement. In the last 6 months, I have fired over 7000 nails with this gun and not a single mis-fire or jam or any problem at all ! The operation is as smooth as I can expect. It is very good to hold and feels good in the hand. This is my first nailer and I wouldn't buy anything else if I needed another one. My professional contractors in fact used this gun to help me frame and gave...more info
Nailers...:
This is a replacement nail gun for me, and seems to work nicely.
If you are thinking of using clipped head nails be aware that building codes in many areas do not allow them.
And if you are thinking of using a framing nail gun for hangers, be aware that most counties require hardened nails, which require a different specialized nailer. I know first hand that correcting mistakes is much harder than doing it right the first time.
I am dissapointed that Hitachi would not spend $1.00 more...more info
