HiKOKI (Hitachi) Gas Nail Gun NR90GC2 First Fix 90mm Framing Nailer Including 2x 1.5Ah Li-Ion Batteries & Charger in Carry Case This battery is for use only with this version of the NR90. Use with other tools may cause the tool not to operate correctly. In the event of Auto Power OFF, to make the tool usable again, detach and reattach the battery. If the tool still doesn't operate, the battery is likely empty and will need re-charging. If the battery is attached to the nailer for 12 hours or more, the battery's output will be automatically shut off due to the built in Auto Power OFF feature for the purpose of reducing battery consumption. In this event, the tool will not operate when the trigger is pulled, but this is not a malfunction.

This is the latest version (J8) of the popular NR90GC2 gun - now with Lithium-Ion batteries instead of NiCd. This battery is for use only with the Lithium-Ion version of the NR90. Use with other tools may cause the tool not to operate correctly If you insist on a gas nailer (but TBH, I wouldn't) then I'd look at either the Senco GT90CH or the near identical Rawl WW90CH (which have interchangeable parts, in the main because they come from the same factory in Taiwan). I had a GT90CH for 5 years as my main gun - more powerful than the equivalent (at the time) Paslode IM90 - and today I still have two Rawl WW90CH guns (one fairly new, the other a bit of a nail). TBH I don't like gas nailers, but I recognise that they are lighter than cordless (battery only) 1st fix guns making them less tiring to use when working above my head. In 10 plus years I've needed 4 replacement batteries, one charger and an igniter board ( under warranty). Not too bad If the battery is attached to the nailer for 12 hours or more, the battery's output will be automatically shut off due to the built in Auto Power OFF feature for the purpose of reducing battery consumption. In this event, the tool will not operate when the trigger is pulled, but this is not a malfunctionAs if this wasn't enough the Hitachi NR90GC2 also has an easy access fuel cell chamber and is amazingly easy to clean, so you can spend less time looking after your gun and more time using it. In the event of Auto Power OFF, to make the tool usable again, detach and reattach the battery. If the tool still doesn't operate, the battery is likely empty and will need re-charging Collapsible and reversible rafter hook accomodates both left and right handed users and folds securely away when not needed found it works reasonably well keep it clean buy the kit sometimes has a tendacey to jam but easy to free up The driving power of the NR90GC2 is truly outstanding, a whopping 90 Joules, whilst its fully sequential actuation type means it doesn't sacrifice speed for power.

Comes with 2 x 7.2 Volt 1.4Ah NiCad batteries, a 1 hour charger, Hex wrench, a carrying case and safety glasses A better alternative, at least to my mind for less intense use, are the cordless guns from DW and Hitachi. I've had a deWalt DCN692 (the better two speed model) for about 4-1/2 years and been very happy with it, other than the weight, which makes it tiring to use for extended periods when working above the head (e.g as in retro fitting solid strutting between flooring joists). Several colleagues are now using them for timber framing and profess their satisfaction with them. My current cordless nailer is a Hitachi NR1890. Whilst I prefer this to the DW gun (it can bump nail the 50mm ring shanks we use for sub-flooring almost as fast as a pneumatic nailer is why, although I concede that mine is a specific need), if anything it is a tad heavier than the DW gunPut about 6,000 nails through mine so far and it's been ok, used rawlplug and paslode nails and it's been spot on with both.
