When it comes to designing nailers, Hitachi keeps the end user in mind. Their siding coil nailer, engineered for serious siding work, impressed us with its light weight (only 4.6 pounds), which does wonders for your arm (not to mention your productivity) toward the end of a long day. We're also suckers for a good grip, and the NV65AH has a great one--it's rubberized, and, unlike a lot of other tools we've known, it's also a width that normal-size humans can get their hands around. This nailer's got an easy-to-operate depth-of-drive adjustment as well, to countersink or flush-drive nails, and a smooth firing mechanism. The air deflector pivots 360 degrees--a nice, user-friendly feature.
One feature we'd like to have seen is the two bumper plates that go on the front and back of other Hitachi models. These plates really go a long way toward protecting a nailer from unnecessary wear and tear, and, in the end, they probably extend its usage quite a bit. But, on the whole, this is a nice piece of equipment. We'd be happy to fire it up any day. --Michael Shilling

Great balance with plenty of power:
I had a terrible paint/siding problem on my home and finally decided to tear off all the trim and siding and start completely over. This gun saved countless hours and honestly made the project a joy! Driving nails into fresh studs may sound easy for any nailgun but this gun had no problems driving thousands of nails into my 30+ year old studs. I had only one jam in 8000 nails. Turns out the nail head was deformed and must have jammed the piston when it tried to return up into the head of the gun. It took... more info
Nailers:
We bought this nailer because it was recommended by our son in law, a finish carpender. He was right. This is tough and easy to work with.
NOT GREAT BUT BEST AVAILABLE:
being in the siding business for 35 years, i have tried them all, Starting with the 12 pound duofast guns from the early 1970's.....this hatachi product is light , easy to load, very fast nail advance with not too much jam up. all guns eventually wear out, some just sooner than others, if you use this gun every other day for 10 hours, you will probley get a good year or so from it, then......... throw it out, dont rebuild it, it will break again very soon, not worth the rebuild, i have a collection of many... more info
worthless Hitachi NV65AH Siding Coil Nailer:
I purchased this hitachi coil nailer. I had an older one that worked for years was a good gun. When it broke could not get parts. Hitachi is famous for not keeping parts. The gun will not 2 1/2" or 2" nails flush. They stick up 1/4" short to a full inch. I am a contractor that needs to depend on tools. Would not recomend any one buy this gun.
