Hitachi NR90GR Round Head 2-Inch to 3-1/2-Inch Cordless Gas Framing Nailer Reviews
The Hitchi ones wouldn't work at 6200'. The rafter hook is very useful. I had some problems with this until I started using the Red Paslode Fuel Cells. Don't let the negative reviews scare you, once I started using the Paslode Fuel Cells it worked fine. I bought a reconditioned one and am very happy with it. Not having an air hose is great.
so I bought 3" nails and it sinks them all the way. This Hitachi gas framing nailer is worthless. I can hear the gas chamber's fan turn on but no nail comes out. I am building a barn and will be walking around in rafters. I had a paslode before and it worked fine.
I can't have a tool that sometimes works. The gun doesn't shoot any nail about 1 out of five times. It says it will drive a 3.5" nail all the way in but even threw soft wood it leaves the nail stick out half an inch. DO NOT BUY THIS piece of junk.
I tried a new battery and new gas cartridges all to no avail.
The depth adjustment was as deep as possible and I tried everything to get the nail to fully lodge into the new lumber. I was excited to avoid the hoses all over the place and the sound of the compressor over my stereo. The gun misfired and misfired and misfired some more despite changing nail types (I bought nails at Home Depot AND the ones on the Amazon detail page with no difference). The reality with this gun is that a good framer can hand nail faster than this gun can shoot nails. I wouldn't recommend this gun to anyone unless you enjoy frustration, slow results, and the constant desire to throw this tool across the parking lot. The description says it shoots 3 1/2" nails.
After the gun stopped firing completely, I quit and hand nailed the rest of the sheething. I returned it and purchased a basic Dewalt pnuematic framer and have had much better success. It does shoot them, but only 20% actually go in all the way. I purchased this nail gun for a roofing job that required a total reframe of the sagged structure. When the framing was complete, I thought I'd be home free with the sheeting nails at 2 3/8".
Between not sinking the all the way and misfiring, the tool is more trouble than it's worth. I ended up having to go back over the entire structure with my framing hammer and spend 30-45 minutes setting all the nails.
VERY pleased with the convenience of no hose and 40-lb compressor to lug upstairs. I've had this unit for 2 weeks now, doing some roof and wall framing. Granted, it doesn't bump fire like an air nailer, but that's not a requirement for me as I'm a methodical type, so an extra 10-seconds to nail off a row of studs is not an issue. I find you have to teach yourself the right amount of pressure it takes to enable firing, and I don't give it a second thought now. The gun works well, is plenty powerful, the 3-1/2 inch ring shank limitation is known, so I work within its capabilities.
The solution. I so far have gone thorough 3 of them with no hiccups from full to empty canister.
I found that the problem was with the Hitachi brand gas. The gun would shoot well for a while, then nothing again.
This gun gave me a lot of headaches.it would fire a few nails, then nothing. I would take out the gas canister, press it manually a few times, then reinsert it.
This thing is a great tool, no regrets as long as I use Paslode gas. Red canister Paslode gas.
For some reason the gas metering valve would stick or clog, and not supply enough gas for each shot.
