Which Hitachi Roofing Gun To Buy???


I'm going to be replacing my roofing gun and the general sensus seems to be go with the hitachi. I see on their website there is the NV45AB2 which seems to be the basic model, with your choice of bottom or side load and there is one I havent seen at my local supplier, the NV45AE. I read the differences about the less recoil, less air usage, the choice of seq. or bump fire, lighter, ect. anyone out there use these, and any good/ bad feedback? is the 45AE really better?

Yes, it is much better. Bought both of those guns at the same time, The AE is much improved. Used the ab2's for years, but the new one is better.

I just bought the new gun on Ebay brand new in the box shipped to my door for $189. The seller had three and I should have bought them all. They were not factory reconditioned either.

Gonna try it out today.
