Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hitachi NR90AE Round Head 2-Inch to 3-1/2-Inch Framing Nailer

Customer Review: Air-Nailer Novice Never Going Back
Summary: 5 Stars

I am finishing my basement (with much, much help from my Father-in-law). He recommended we buy a framing nailer (he's going in halvers), and the local home store strongly recommended this one.
I may never hold a hammer again! This is the most amazing tool I think I've ever owned. It has made a tedious, timely process move as smooth as silk.
We are using a small, cheapo Craftsman "hot-dog" compressor, and the nailer doesn't seem to be putting too much stress on it, though we're not fast. (I am considering a new air compressor now. Hitachi or Mikasa....)
The Hitachi nailer has been very easy to load and ridiculously easy to use. I agree with another review on the safety glasses - they are a must because the plastic pieces from the strip fly all over the place. However, buy better safety glasses than the cheap things that come with the nailer. Also, make sure you buy a 3/4" NPT connector; this nailer does not come with one.
I am very, very impressed. I strongly recommend this nailer.

Description of Hitachi NR90AE Round Head 2-Inch to 3-1/2-Inch Framing Nailer

Hitachi's superior design and engineering make this a top-of-the-list choice for a framing nailer, just as hardworking as the NR83 model that preceded it, but with a few major improvements.

We like the way Hitachi's integrated both types of trigger, so there's no need to replace anything ? just flip the lever on the tool down for bump or up for sequential firing. Also tool-free is the depth-of-fire adjustment: Just turn a small knob to set your depth. It's even easier than adjusting the air pressure.

This nailer has a 21-degree angled magazine and fires nails from 2 inches to 3-1/2 inches, a wider range than the old NR83 handled. Loading is much faster and easier on this gun, too, because Hitachi's redesign repositioned the loading mechanism at the rear of the magazine. A maximum of 64 plastic-strip collated full round head nails will fit in the magazine, but reloading takes a few seconds, so there's no downside to that. This is one of the most jam-free guns we've used; it just fires and fires. Should you find a way to jam it, the procedure to clear the jam is super fast and couldn't be easier.

The balance of this tool is incredible; at a relatively light 7-1/2 pounds, you'd expect to feel a little strain after using this gun for a few hours, but the ergonomics are fantastic. Hats off to Hitachi on this redesign. And of course, you'll notice immediately the difference in appearance between this gun and its predecessor. It's sporting Hitachi's hot new look, with brighter colors and a flame-like graphic, better suited, we think, to the new personality of this fantastic nailer.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Quick-Load Magazine for Reduced Downtime
For further convenience, the NR90AE features a lightweight anodized aluminum back-loading magazine that's designed for quick and easy loading of round-head plastic strip nails from two to 3-1/2 inches in length. The magazine has a nail capacity of 64-70 nails, which is equivalent to two nail strips. To replenish nails, simply insert a nail strip into the back of the magazine, slide the nail strip forward, and pull the nail feed back to engage the nailer--the entire process takes only a matter of seconds.

Dual Firing Options for Precise or Continuous Driving
Featuring ANSI-compliant select actuation for making tool-less firing transitions, the NR90AE Framing Nailer can be used for a variety of different applications. By simply sliding the selection control up or down with your hand, you can choose between intermittent and continuous firing. Intermittent firing is ideal for jobs that require precise driving, while the continuous setting can be used to fire nails at a rapid pace by using a bumping motion along the workpiece.

Its soft rubber grip provides optimum control and extended comfort for all-day jobs.For further ease of use, a hardened toenail push lever will help the nailer stand up to wear and tear. And in case you get a jammed nail, the open nose design will make extraction a cinch.

Designed with a 3/8-inch NPT thread air inlet, the NR90AE requires 70-120 psi operating pressure to function properly. It takes in air at a rate of 0.088 cubic feet per cycle at 100 psi.

The Hitachi NR90AE Framing Nailer is backed by a five-year limited warranty.
