This is one of the best tools I have ever had. Operates flawlessly every time. I use Bostich nails/brads because they are easier to find (all sizes up to 2″) and the nailer works perfectly. The “height” adjustment is easy. The “jam release” mechanism is great – but the tool has never jammed. Excellent Product! James Willard
This is by far the best brad nailer I have ever used in my 20 years as a trim carpenter. It is very light weight ,powerfull, and looks great too! Hitachi has always been a pro-quality grade tool and this brad nailer is a great addition to there collection of pro-quality tools.
The price was more than right. This is an excellent deal. I used Milwaukee brads for it, and no jams so far. It would be nice if it had a better tip on it though. Comparing price and value with other brands, I would buy this one again. Up until 6 months ago I never knew Hitachi made good tools. Hitachi is my preferred brand for pneumatic right now. The only guns I probably wouldnt buy are their framing nailers, only because the PC is so much cheaper and does the job so well. Buy this gun, you can’t go wrong. Along with the tip, the thing that really puzzles me is, I can go buy a $20 no name gun kit, and IT INCLUDES OIL IN THE CASE! (not to mention a couple thousand nails) Here I buy a Hitachi, and not a drop. How about including a small bottle of oil guys? The fifty cents it would cost the company would be well worth it to build greater brand loyalty.
Excellent gun for the money(Amazon sale gave additional 10% off). Extremely light…almost feels like a toy. Sinks the nail 99.9% but that’s mainly due to the safety holding it away from the surface though I haven’t used it on much hardwood beside poplar yet. It is fairly loud compared to other guns, so less one star for that.
Its very light and does everything right but its the loudest brad nailer Ive ever used. Its louder than my finish nailer. Use ear protection with this gun.
