Hitachi NV65AH2 2-1/2" Coil Nailer

Overall I really like the nailer. I feels solid and able to work well long-term. The plastic housing holding the nail coil is the one downside. I could see where it is lighter and I know when I am getting low on nails. But, I would rather have a metal housing that isn't going to crack when storing the gun in a tool box with a bunch of tools. Course it may never happen; it feels heavy-duty in every other detail.

I have had my first Metabo nailer about 8 months and it has been a great asset. It is light and performs flawlessly so when my old nailer that I can not get parts for blew a seal recently my first choice was to buy a second Metabo. I am happy with my choice.

What I have found out over the years (48 years) once you find that nail gun that has the feel and look, along with excellent reliability there is no need to look any further, light weight well engineered, Metabo done it again, a nail gun I can depend on and fun to use. Designsinwood

Excellent nail gun. I have put stainless, and galvanized nails through this gun and zero jams. Also performs at any position you put it in. I highly recommend The Metabo products. I have you used them in the past in the oil field and now use them for my own company.

Great coil siding nailer. Used it for nailing fence pickets. Used Metabo 2" coil ring shank nails. Used almost 2 coils of nails and never had a jam in the nailer. The only drawback was the nailer and nails cost very much more than i wanted to spend. I still took the plunge to buy it because I needed the tool right away. I also have a Matabo brad nailer and finish nailer and am pleased with both. Would recommend these tools to others.

I used this coil siding mailer to replace 207' of fence. The tool worked well and only had 1 malfunction and that was it shot 2 nails at once, I think this might of been an operator error on my part since this is my first time using the tool. The tool is solidly built, easy to use and felt really comfortable in my hands. Looking forward to using this tool when I build my 10'X12' shed with sidings.

So, let me start by saying that on initial setup I didn't set the height adjustment correctly in the drum. We were using 2 inch nails, so of course it jammed up quite a bit until I stopped and realized it was my mistake. The remaining coil “about 80%” went okay with a couple of more jams. The second coil went through flawless! The third and final coil for the day did really well until the last 20% or so of nails and then it jammed up a few times. All that being said, I think this is a good reliable gun and I would recommend it to others. The reason I chose this brand is due to positive reviews from contractors and tradesmen.

I have used several siding nailers. ...Hitachi nailers have never let me down.... A little learning curve on loading the nails but it not too difficult.... gun performs flawlessly so long as you know how the trigger functions. """""it will shoot nails as long as the trigger is held....so shoot and move....shoot and move ....

Great nailer. California air tool compressor powers my nailers. Started off 500 LF project with 2 boxes of simpson SS 1 3/4 coil nails, no issues at all. All fired flawless. Ran short, decided to finish with 1 1/2 Simpson SS. Constantly jammed. Adjusted switch mechanism to single, same issue. Only happened with 1 1/2. Odd, but worth noting if yall might use smaller coils. Besides that, everything worked smooth. Would like to see hanging hook added.

I have had the gun for about three weeks, it worked just fine but after two weeks one of screws holding the dust cover on feel off and was lost.Last week an o-ring or a seal went out on it and was leaking air." This is not the first air gun I have owned,I have many, it was oiled every day." The gun has been in a repair shop for a week. I've had to borrow a gun to finish the job.
