The gun never jams even using questionable nails (B&C) and it just works. I am a home user so I can speak to durability on a construction site. I'm not sure if I bought this at Amazon. I love my nail gun.
I researched nail guns carefully before buying and this gun had the the best reviews. It works flawlessly. I have built a large shed and two fences (about 100 feet) with this nail gun using Grip-Rite framing nails and B&C fencing nails so I have used it with the biggest and smallest nails. It just keeps working.
Neither gun comes with an air fitting, and they require a large one (3/8inch). This nailer is worth every cent, and will last a long time. Beware, the Hitachi NR83A2 and NR83A2(S) are very similar, but the (S) does not have a depth control on the gun. Oh, I almost forgot that Hitachi has a 5 year warranty. Maybe that is what the 'S' stands for >surprise< As it turns out, I don't find this to be a detriment, since the unit has worked flawlessly driving 12d nails (3.25 inch) at 100psi to 120psi, the range that my compressor cycles between. I am not a professional carpenter, but I know good quality and sometimes you get lucky and can find it at a decent price. They have awsome customer service, beating their competition's sale price by 10% which made my price $222.00 plus tax.
I was surprised when I opened the box at home, after handeling the display model in the store which has the adjuster. I bought an (S) model today at my local Lowes hardware store. I am very pleased with this nailer. I had searched for a tool that will drive full head nails consistently, and this tool works flawlessly.
I keep going back to the hitachi because of the solid construction. The day I took this gun out of the box it paid for itself on time savings. I am less impressed with the other brands I have used. My one year old son will use this gun someday. Hitachi makes the best air tools.
I also have a porter cable and a rigid. No plastic. You won't have to focus on your gun working right but instead focus on getting your job done. I can shoot nails through the NR83A2 all day long with no problems. I have three other hitachi guns besides this one.
They are also very user friendly. I am a remodel contractor and would recomend this nailer to anyone. Some people are concerned by the price but in reality you are getting a tool that will last forever.
I burn through over 10 boxes (4000 nails each) on each floor. The payback is in no downtime and higher productivity. I am currently building a wood frame hotel we have 9 Hitachi framers and 5 paslode framers. End of Story.Written by Mr. I have been actively framing for 12 years and have started running my company this year. Yes they cost a little more but remember cheaper is not always better. To sum this up there is no other, I have used them all and always tell the owners, trade this junk in and buy a real gun.
The paslodes are great for collecting dust and that's it. Never do I have a problem, in fact my nail distributor fixes my guns for free, due to quantity of nails purchased, and all that he has been forced to fix has been the paslode guns. Payne Any fast reliable crew will come packing Hitachi framers.
I used many brands of framing guns and found the Hitachi NR83A to be a good reliable gun. Overall, it is a good gun and I am waiting for someone to come up with a better full head nailer. The main positives are it's durability and that it is easy to get parts. On the downside, it doesn't sink nails in LVLs unless the pressure is over 120, the metal magazine can get bent and then the nails hang up.
