User Comments about the Hitachi NR83A2 Round Head 2-inch to 3-1/4-inch Framing Nailer

I frame for a living and my last framing gun lasted about 12 years before any problems. Today I started to frame a new home, and lets just say if anyone needs a slightly used framing gun there's one sitting in a snow bank next to the foundation. This framing gun lasted about 2 months when it started really giving me problems.



I put a hangar on it that fits over a 4x and hang it from the ladder, rafters, etc. And it is so well balanced in hand that the weight is not a problem. Also the full-head strip nails mean less nail in gun means less weight. It is balanced in the hand and shooting at any angle is effortless. The clipped head and coil types will need to be loaded less often but they're that much heavier.One note--this gun works so smooth since the mechanism breaks loose the next nail during recovery from driving the previous nail. But the slide is the same as on the Porter Cable which is the only other framer I've used that I liked (have not used the Max which is supposed to be good too). Most professional framers use this tool and for good reason.


It has more power and less kickback than other brands (drives into engineered products where other brands bounce back). The safety depresses easily and it has a bar to pull back with your finger when you don't want to contact the work surface to shoot. It doesn't jam or wear out. That means that there is always a loose nail in the end of your gun and it falls out if you reload before running out. It doesn't get affected by rain or dirt. It takes the full-head nail so passes code anywhere, and the strip nails fit in your pouch a lot better than coils. This is a bit of a pain but is just part of the deal.In any case this is my favorite gun and has made me a lot of money.


Have dropped it on the slab a couple times and the only damage was to my nerves and the slab.The only complaints I have about mine is that it's heavy, and that you have to pull the slide back before loading.


I cant remember the last time it has jambed up. What ever you do make sure if you want the adjustable depth control you get the Hitachi NR83A2 NOT THE NR83A2(S) because the model with the (s) doesn't have it. All and all don't look any further this is the gun you need I promise you won't be disappointed. The best part is I have equity in my nail gun lol I bought it in March of 2009 for $225.00 what a great dam deal. The (s) means surprise you got the wrong one.


Doesn't get any better then this I'm a third generation carpenter, and we all have used this exact nail gun, except dads and grandpas was the older model NR83A. Anybody that uses these Hitachi NR83A2 nail guns will tell you all about how great they work. A lot of guys like the original Hitachi NR83A but this one has the adjustable depth control right on the gun. There's not to may differences between the two besides this is the only one you can buy new still.


I HAVE THIS GUN IN MY HAND MUCH OF THE DAY AT TIMES AND ILL GET USED TO IT MY HELPERS WILL NOT GIVE UP THE OLDER ONE. OWN 2 NR83 AND THIS NEW MODEL WHY MESS WITH SOMETHING THAT ISNT BROKEN. THE OLDER MODEL WAS AND IS THE BEST NAIL GUN EVER MADE MANY MANY POSITIVES. MOST OF MY NAILERS ARE HITACHI SIDING INTERIOR TRIM I WILL STAY WITH THEM THIS NEW MODEL HAS A NOSE THAT CATCHES ON MATERIAL DOES NOT SLIDE BUT TOE NAILS GREAT HAS THAT SAFETY COVER ON THE FRONT CAN NOT GRAB THE NOSE AND HALF SET A NAIL NEED THAT TO MOVE LUMBER AT TIMES.



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.
