Hitachi NT65MA4 vs Bostitch with notes about the MA2
I posted this review over in the Hitachi MA2 version, a long standing favorite amongst the pros. I wanted to post it here as well considering it really is about the MA4. Here it is.
I've done/doing some professional woodworking and have a lifetime of experience. In air driven nailers I have Porter Cables upholstery stapler, their 23 gauge pin nailer, an 18 gauge, two of their 16 gauge nailers. I impulsively bought the Bostitch after reading the first page reviews, and then spent a couple of hours researching the Hitachi vs. the Bostitch. After comparing, this is what I found.
A lot of people are jumping on the Bostitch band wagon because it is the lightest at 3.8 pounds, it is dry as in no oil, and it has class leading 400 inch pounds of power. I was dazzled and bought right away. After digging deeper, I am refusing the Bostitch and getting the Hitachi. They both have the "durable composite magazine" (plastic) that holds the nails.

Hitachi NT65MA4 15 ga Nailer
I'd rate this nailer 4.5 stars, not 5 five stars.
I've now put over 5,000 nails through the NT65MA4 into a hardwood floor. The wood is 5/16 and not tongue and groove, so it is all face nailed.
The nails I used are 1 inch Senco nails, which are shorter than the manufacturer recommended 1? minimum length.
The Hitachi jammed on these 1 inch nails only when I tried to add a strip of nails as the in use strip ran low. Since one inch nails are not recommended, I do not hold those jams against the Hitachi. I quickly learned that jams could be 100% eliminated by discarding the last two or three nails, and then sliding in a fresh strip of 100.
The Hitachi has a nice solid quality feel, excellent balance, and great ergonomics. The NT65MA4 never felt heavy, or made my hand ache.
I was concerned about oil mist on the bare wood floor, so I directed the exhaust directly onto the back of my hand. I never detected any spots, mist, or shininess...
Great Tool
I have used quite a few nailers.
This one, the Hitachi NT65MA4 is among the best I've seen:
Great performance - absolutely no jams, consistent depth of nail heads,
Light weight, minimal kickback, reasonably quiet, sturdy feel.
All in all a great tool at a great price.
