The main improvement on this latest version is the soft grip, which seems to be made of a wrapped tape similar to what's found on many bicycle handles. It feels comfortable in the hand, and should it wear out, one can always get replacement tape at the local bicycle shop. This is a well-balanced nailer, solidly constructed but not too heavy. The secret behind this nailer's ongoing popularity with professionals is its reliable design--it can be expected to last a long time on job sites without a lot of problems. With 860 inch-pounds of driving force, it is among the most powerful nailers available, and, when paired with an appropriate compressor, it sinks its nails every time. Although this nailer lacks some of the popular features found on more recent designs--such as an adjustable exhaust port and depth of drive--it does have a solid track record that few other tools can match. --Brian Trinen
Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hitachi NR83A Full Head Construction Strip Nailer
Customer Review: The standard
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit I am a home improvement retard and not a professional. But, I have done basically all my work myself with my own tools, with the guidance of friends involved in various trades. That said, starting out framing, I grew tired of borrowing guns so I decided to look into buying one. I asked around and I looked at what framers who work with their tools day in and day out where using. 99% of the ones I came accross where using the NR83A and said if it ever became unusable they would immediately buy another. I borrowed Sencos and Hitachis. I found the Senco a pain in the a** to clear a jam from, other than that a great gun. I have a Senco finish nailer and a stapler, their stuff is excellent too but, the Hitachi couldn't be easier to load, to clear a jam I've never had to do more than pull the spring back that keeps pressure on the nails and give the gun a good shake. 99% of jams are due to nails coming out of their plastic racking. I've used the gun for basic framing, fastening plywood or osb, T1-11 siding, mounting windows, and building wood fences. If your a pro or just a home improvement slave like me, this is the gun that will last and still have a good resale value should you no longer need it.
PS. The gun works so much better without the spring installed. I had a pro carpenter tell me it's an OSHA violation to have it removed. I also have seen guys use these guns to beat beams into place. One so badly, the exhaust tin was pounded completely flat, void of almost all paint and rattling with each shot. This is by no means a tool to be taken lightly, it's possibly one of the most dangerous handheld construction power tools you can use, but it's also one of the most productive and time saving tools you can buy.
