as a roofer i've used em all
I have about 11 nailers, all brands, Hitachi seems the best. they don't break, they nail consistently. no one shots more nails through a nailer than i do. we are brutal to our guns, shooting 1000s of nails per week easily (to nail off new sheeting on a typical home requires 2500 nails) and we drop our guns constantly. we don't "set" our guns down, we drop them and if they can't handle it, we don't buy them. our guns end up in the repair shops several times a year but the hitachi least of all and the shop guys think hitachi is the best (and those guys know what they are talking about, all they do is rip these guns apart to see the "weak links" that always need replacing. this price is shockingly good ($180), better than the big orange store by 20 bucks.
NAIL TYPES:
This shoots the most common angle of 21 degree (the strips of nails and the magazine on the gun are set at an angle - this angle helps give clearance for the lower part of the tool while being used). I...

I nailed it. U can Too
I have only been using this nailer for two weeks and it's definitely been one of the best tool choices I've made. During this time it has driven 6,000 3 1/4" stainless ring shank nails into lots of 2 by Pressure Treated. There's really no downside to this nailer that I`ve found. It is very powerful and drives these nails fine as long as the line pressure is at least 100psi. Don't expect a little pancake compressor to feed this rapid fire or you will probably be disappointed. Because I am framing and decking with this gun I found the quick lever adjustment between trigger fire and bump fire to be useful in avoiding unwanted multi-fires. This gun loads very easily, contrary to another review, you can insert your nail strips, then you pull back the tension lever and it will automatically catch after the last nail. I have another 4,000 nails to go for this job and so far it has been a great performer.
Update 4-20-11 I've now put 8,000 3 1/4 SS ring shanks and another 3,000...
Hitachi Full Head Nailer
I have other Hitachi products and have found them to be well made and dependable. This nailer is no different. I've used 3-1/4" and 2-1/4" collated round head nails without a hitch. The loading is different from my Grizz gun in that you load from the back. The tension spring must be held back when loading so you have difficulty loading with it being held rather than set down. My Grizz spring locks back and the nails drop in through the top of the ramp.
The Hitachi is easier to unload with the nails sliding back up the ramp as you hold the spring back.
Depth is very easier to set. I use a dedicated air control as well and adjust it to the lowest optimum air pressure to save unnecessary wear and tear. A 100 PSI works well on the long nails- 90 PSI for the 2-1/4" nails.
The tool is fairly light and maneuverable although I could only load two sets of nails even though there was almost room for three. Another 1-1/2" longer ramp and I probably could. I...
