Questions & Answers
Typically, the siding nails you need for this gun can be found at the lumberyards nearby. I own three different siding guns. The nails they accept are all the same
In the nailer's instructions, the single shot trigger is indicated as
It took 15 degree wire nails with no problems. I used it for subflooring and it sank nails well. I would say the nv75 has more power and a more enclosed feeder for the nails, but the 65 has proven to be very reliable
Providing that they are coil nails with a normal head, and not roofing nails which have a large head, I don't see a problem but they should be coil nails. Different lengths of nails can be accommodated in the gun's nail tray. If you want to check the minimum length of nails, you can check Hitachi's website. The size I have been using is 2 1/4" - 2 5/8" The length is two and three eighths inches.
Selected User Reviews For Hitachi NV65AH 2-1/2-Inch Coil Siding Nailer (Discontinued by Manufacturer)
My review is written the day after I returned my first one as defective under Hitachi's 30-day warranty, and before I receive the replacement as per Hitachi's 30-day warranty You can return the item within 14 days. As soon as day 29 rolled around it began failing with some internal problems and the piston which was not holding air and the compressed air leaking out the front could not be fixed. During the nailing process, it broke down after four coils of nails were run As a professional contractor, I have experience in a wide range of fields. After my crew was idle, I contacted Hitachi technical support to see if they could assist me in fixing the problem. The warranty would be void if the unit is opened up. I was told to contact a Hitachi repair center that is certified to work on these devices. As soon as I called the local Hitachi repair center, they informed me that they are generally not able to guarantee a quick turn-around because of the long turnaround time Hitachi parts normally take. Here and there. As long as it was still within the 30-day return period, they suggested returning the nailer There is a grace period of one day. Even if the computer had not broken down, I would have written a less than stellar review. A cardboard box contains this relatively expensive tool, which costs $330 A container that is NOT made of plastic or metal. Thus, Hitachi does not consider it necessary to include a carrying case, so storage will be a problem. It comes with a handy tough plastic carrying case, so I bought a Hitachi finish nailer. They do not have coil nailers, so why not? My circular saw comes with a sturdy plastic case with a leather handle. They do not have coil nailers, so why not? There is no carrying case provided for this nailer. This is quite problematic since a lot of the parts on nailers are somewhat fragile, on the one hand, and because the plastic covering the nail holder on the NV65AH is fragile. In other words, if you bump it during storage or crush it, it will break. A cardboard box of this caliber cannot survive the test of time.
Other reviewers have complained about the fact that you must purchase the conversion kit for $50 if you want to use it in rapid fire mode. would appear that Hitachi is either trying to milk us all or doing things cheaply. When it comes to power tools, it's generally not a good idea to do things on the cheap. It is important to buy the best nailer you can afford. When we identify these negatives, one positive benefit is the light weight and excellent balance of the nailer. Having a light nailer means it won't get heavy after a long day of clapboard installation. I modified a hard carrying case from an old tool, and I hope my replacement Hitachi NV65AH 2-in-1 nailer holds up well. The first 1/2 There will be no problems with the inch coil siding nailer as well. Theodore F. Marcus. The Robinsons.
Exceptional nailer that you can depend on. Since I've used it for approximately 6,000 square feet of cedar lap siding (and trim), I've never had a problem with stainless steel "grip shank" nails (other than when the coil has been folded over, which is not the nail gun's fault). You can feed the first nail easily after loading the nails (coils). The balance and feel, as well as the weight, are important. There are no objections to any of these. Every time you use the air connection, drop a few drops of oil in it. It does not require any other maintenance besides that done every day. The setting of the nails It is simple to determine the depth of a drive.
It works fine but it takes a while to get accustomed to the bump fire. If you aren't careful, it will fire so fast that it will knock two nails into This is not an especially difficult task to get rid of, but it takes too much time if a project is running smoothly. The loading mechanism is easy enough to use, and the recoil motion keeps.
Sure, it needs the trigger kit and yes, it needs the hanger, but the tool lasts for a long time. In reality, the extra cost is negligible in comparison to the lost productivity of an employee while trying to fix a cheap I bought this on Amazon because I could get it cheaper on there and it was delivered faster than at the lumber yard - The irony is not lost on me.
A nail gun can only be used to fire bump nails. If you are installing siding, you shouldn't care about this. Sheet good sheathing works perfectly, but does not work with any type of siding because you end up with more than one fire. If you try to bump style, you will not achieve the accuracy necessary for siding. In order to convert the gun, you need to buy a $50 kit. As part of the kit, there are limited directions that say only authorized service centers can change it out and don't tell you how to do it yourself. My own directions were found on the web and I changed it by No mention is made in the tool description about the firing mode or the fact that you have to purchase a kit to do so. Rather than having to pay the $40 extra for the Makita, I would have gladly purchased one with manual nailing functionality. I find this to be much.
You've got to own this nailer!.
It's no secret that I'm a DIYer. My house is going to be covered in Hardieboards, and I bought this nailer for the job. By comparing this tool to a hammer, I saved a great deal of time. The following are a few of the challenges, even though I am not a pro 1 -
2. My experience with the depth gauge was fairly straightforward at first, but after a while I found that I had to simply nail in a course and quickly hammer the nails in. It is probably my inexperience with the project (which was clearly the case), but I did not do a good job Taking the road instead of the highway When driving with the intention of achieving a certain result. **1. **2. When you don't watch the plastic nail strap or don't get rid of it regularly, it could twist around and foul your tool, which would require stopping your hammer to get it fixed. 1.
2.
3. With the "automatic" trigger feature, it's easy to set up As long as you press and hold the trigger, you'll see the nails pop out. What I found difficult to work with was Although I can see how that would be useful for roofing, it made me pay more attention to trigger pull/release than quality work when I was installing Hardie Boards. Those are the reasons why the star rating is only four out of five As a result of the single-payer The tool does not come with the trip (one pull, one nail) mechanism. That was necessary to order from a Hitachi dealer (recommended by Hitachi themselves when I called), and it cost me an additional $60-$70. I paid $70. 00. The finish nailers I bought from Porter Cable, for example, come with a different trip mechanism for free (or at least they did when I bought the nailer). For such a small and few part, this should have been included, or at least the price should not have been excessive.
After a few missed shots, it works well, but there is a considerable amount of wasted time in The good news is that they last forever.
