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.

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.

This gun works great once you get the right depth set . Light weight. The one exception would that the gun should have come with the single fire trigger. You just have to remember to let go of trigger when nailing material otherwise it will fire more than once. It also would have been nice if it had come with a case.

I have been using this for 2 years now. It has never jammed on me. Loads easy and works like a beast, all day, everyday. If it did fail on me at this point Id go back and get the same one without hesitation. Thanks for making a tool that comes to work day after day.

On the recommendation of my son, a building contractor, I bought this to help a neighbor build a fence. I have used competing products for other things. The NV65AH did everything it was supposed to do. My unhandy (his claim that appeared correct) neighbor quickly learned to handle it and really liked it. And now I have a Christmas present for my son. After many years, he broke his Hitachi nailer and has not found the time to fix it. Almost all of his power tools are Hitachi.

I used to use only bostich, until I bought one and it didn't even last 2 days. I came to find out that they are not made to last anymore. I already had a roof nailer from hitatchi and its been very reliable. I myself am not worried about weight , I would much rather have a gun that's reliable for years. Thanks Andy ATC Restoration

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 three of these nailers and they are the best! I would have given five stars but I have one that is only a couple months old and it has a hole in the top half of the cylinder and leakes air. Seems to be a thin part of the case. Cheaper ordering a new part than sending it back for warranty.

I have had many siding coil guns over the past 30+ years and the Hitachi NV65AH2 is the best one yet! The weight and balance is just right, the nails feed and dispense properly each time the gun is fired. I was skeptical of the plastic housing for the nails but it seems to be holding up well in the Washington state weather.
