Good Concept - But not designed for the Long Haul...
By PellaCPC
I am a residential contractor that purchased this gun for general framing tasks. The thing that swayed my purchase was 1st, the lightness of this gun, and 2nd, the 5 year Hitachi warranty. I was glad to see that some attempt had been made to design a nailer with size and weight in mind. Unfortunately, this gun doesn't measure up to Hitachi's other nailers. Just like the other customer, the loading mechanism broke after about 2 weeks on the job. Amazon was very obliging, and replaced my nailer with another relatively quickly. That was about a month ago, and one of my guys just told me that the nailer is now bending all the 16s that come out of the gun. I guess I'll have to go back to the old 88 or the paslode. One other major mistake on the part of Hitachi is allowing the gun to "dry fire" which is to fire when out of nails. This is a major oversight by the manufacturer, especially when nailing sheeting. I really wanted this gun to work because it is one of the smallest, lightest, and most powerful available, however, I'm afraid that I can't recommend it.

By J. Skinner
I purchased two of these new models based on the experience that I have had with the NR83aa2's. Keep in mind that I run a framing crew and we rely on these guns all day every day. The gun shoots excellent. However, there is a piece of metal that acts as a lever for the retaining clip. On both of my newly purchased NR90ad's this piece of metal broke within the first three weeks and three weeks later I am still waiting for the parts. Long story short, that one one particular part that was poorly designed has turned what would normally be a great gun into a worthless piece of metal until those parts come in. 2-15-2005

great gun... when it works
By Chris Magness
Light, smaller design, powerful, and toenails well. The positive aspects of this gun are great, so great infact that after returning my first one, I purchased a second. The second, however, had the same issues as the first. The piston rattles and occasionally dislodges. When this occurs, absolutely nothing happens when I pull the trigger. Shaking the gun violently seems to realign the piston. This process is extemely aggrivating, especially when straining to hold a board in place.My first gun, I thought to be a lemon. After my second gun failed in the same way, it is clear that Hitachi has issues to address. From a carpenter's perspective, I cannot reccomend this gun. It's flawed and unreliable. Get on the ball Hitachi!
