Amazon.com Review
Some building codes require full-head nails. This Hitachi framing nailer supports full, round-head, coil-wire-collation nails from 2 to 3-1/4 inches. It's a well-balanced tool that feels good in the hand, and it weighs only 8 pounds, so user fatigue is less than it is with other heavier framing nailers. The handle is slim and ergonomic, and the rubber grip is a nice touch that enhances the tool's comfort level. The Hitachi has one of the more aggressive tips of any nailer, which means the tip features prominent spikes to grip material for toe-nailing. (There's a plastic no-mar tip cover available for finish applications.) The open nose makes cleaning simple jams easy, but for tough jams you'll need to undo a hex screw to release the magazine. Hitachi pneumatics are known for their reliability and relatively low maintenance requirements, and this nailer features the same simple and efficient components that have built Hitachi's stellar reputation. The bottom line? The Hitachi full-head nailer makes a user-friendly, dependable, and sturdy addition to any professional's tool arsenal. --Mark McDonald

3 out of 5 stars Good for shop work, but   February 6, 2005
John F. Milliken (Eastham, MA USA)
for working overhead, or on staging or framing on the jobsite, it's a bit more awkward than a similar stick nailer. Changing nail sizes is a tedious little business, can't be done easily while up on a ladder, for instance, with different coils and different magazine settings while a few clips of stick nails fit easily and quickly in the nail bags. Coils are easily bent or bumped on a busy job, which makes them quite difficult to fit into the nailer. Get the stick version instead.


5 out of 5 stars Best gun... period   December 26, 2003

I purchased this gun about a year and a half ago. I have waited to give my opinion for some time due to the fact that I use this gun constantly, and wanted to see how this gun would preform over an extended period of time before making a recommendation.

This gun has never, ever, let me down. I am in construction and the Hitachi NV83A is my best friend. Sure the gun would periodically jam here and there, open the front loader and remove the nail, end of story. This thing is so durable and honest that it is a pleasure to pick up.

If you are contemplating buying a framing gun... I strongly recommend the Hitachi NV83A.

I work with this gun in South Florida and it is the best gun I have ever used. The specs say this gun holds 2" to 3 1/4" nails, but it also shoots 1 1/2" case hard nails into concrete like a real pro. 2 1/4" case hard nails also work very well. Down here we have all concrete block exterior walls and do quite a lot of furring to attach drywall to. This is the best of about five different makes I have used over the past 20 + years. AAAAA++++ rating.

I started out with Bostich, but switched to Hitachi. I ended up replacing all five of my framing nailers with Hitachi. For the money, its a better gun.

I have been heavily using Hitachi NV 83A nailer for 6 years and I never had any problems with it, except for one time when I dropped it three stories down on solid concrete and the only thing I had to replace was the nail magazine cover. I recently purchased a twin and I will newer buy another brand. As professional framer, I definetely reccomend it against other brands that I had a chance to use.
