    Dual Firing Options for Precise or Continuous Driving
    Featuring selective actuation for making tool-less firing transitions, the NT50AE2 Brad Nailer can be used for a variety of different applications. By simply sliding the selection control up or down with your hand, you can choose between intermittent and continuous firing. Intermittent firing is ideal for jobs that require precise driving, while the continuous setting can be used to fire nails at a rapid pace by using a bumping motion along the workpiece.

    Adjustable Depth of Drive for Accuracy
    The NT50AE2 features a convenient depth-of-drive adjustment knob located near the nose. Simply turn the dial half way to make quick, accurate modifications to the driving depth with no tools required.

    High-Capacity Magazine for Reduced Downtime
    For further convenience, the NT50AE2 features a bottom-loading magazine that's designed for quick and easy loading of 5/8-2 inch brad nails with head sizes between 0.075 and 1.9 mm. The magazine has a capacity of approximately 100 brad nails (depending on the size of the nail), so you can go a long time between reloads. A visual nail indicator allows you to keep an eye on the number of nails in the magazine.

    Designed for Comfort and Efficiency
    With a lightweight aluminum body, the NT50AE2 weighs just 2.2 pounds and measures 10 x 9-3/16 x 2-3/8 inches (LxHxW)), so it's easy to maneuver. Its soft Elastomer grip provides optimum control and extended comfort for all-day jobs.

    For further ease of use, Hitachi equipped the NT50AE2 with an adjustable, 360-degree exhaust vent. Also, an included no-mar nose cap protects the workpiece and the tool.

    The NT50AE2 requires 70-120 psi operating pressure to function properly. It takes in air at a rate of 0.025 cubic feet per cycle at 100 psi.

    The Hitachi NT50AE2 Brad Nailer is backed by a five-year limited warranty.

    Tools and Hardware Reviews of Hitachi NT50AE2 18-Gauge 5/8-Inch to 2-Inch Brad Nailer

    Customer Review: Outstanding nailer
    Summary: 5 Stars

    Like a previous reviewer this was purchased for my fiancee who is an artist and required quite a bit of canvas stretchers, framing, and finish work for her paintings. We had (against my better judgement) tried an "electric" solution, which as expected failed miserably. It was slightly difficult to convince her that this WAS the solution, and would not compicate her task(s). I cannot subtract any stars due to no oil, or brads in the case as that is how it was described. It would have been nice, but I purchased oil and brads seperately. The nailer is incredibly light, balanced, and easy for her to use. Have used the largest brads allowable in this nailer, and have had complete success even when nailing red oak, which is notably a very hard wood, and the nails are sunk flush with no marring. Add a few drops of oil before using it for the day, load it up, and nail all day long. No misfires, jams, or or any issues whatsoever. Because this was purchased for her, and not for myself, noise, weight, and ease of use were paramount, and it excels in each of these areas. Highly recommend it. Purchased the following with this nailer, and they work flawlessly together.
