http://www.tylertool.com/hinvwico.html trying to decide between these 2 coilers to use for furring and sheating and some light duty framing needs, any opinions and thoughts on either gun and one of the best for me was the lightweight of one of them, but does it deliver the sinking power of the other. |

Re: Hitachi
siding nailer is just for that, siding. I have both of these, the first one you have there is not going to be too good for framing needs. It's not that fast, especially as fast as the framing nailer. You will pay for it in the weight though. It will only shoot up to an 8d, where the other will shoot at least 12d's.
If you're looking for a sheathing nailer, and your local building dept doesn't mind (I'd definitely ask) the Hitachi stapler will absolutely kill anything on the market for fast sheathing. It sounds like a machine gun. Obviously no good for framing or shear nailing.

Re: Hitachi
I use 2 of the 83A2's full time for framing and sheathing. No need to change guns just change coils as your task changes. I've used Bostich and I hate them for obvious reasons, I've used paslode and I didn't like them, and Max I have a problem with the "no bump fire" safety feature.
I've had both nailers for a year each and probably had to unjam them three times since then. They do take a lot of abuse with the crew I work with and I cant say enough about them. At the speed we work at the extra weight is tolerated as a trade off to the amount of nails you can load at once. I made a decision a long time ago that I'd rather have 200 nails in my gun than 200 in my pouch. Plus the time saved not having to reload so often is great. |

Re: Hitachi
If you don't have the need to shoot nails shorter than 2", then the NV83 would probably suit you best....It's a bit heavier, but it's based off of a gun that is tried and tested(by me), and it's extremely dependable....If you do a lot of siding, then the NV75 might be the best solution, but if you are looking for an all around gun, go with the 83.

Re: Hitachi
great to hear, thnaks , ya it seems like the 83 is the way to go, more possibilities, and a little extra weight, but powerful to boot,,,,
production = money... or atleast close to....lol |
