The old stand by tool just improved. Hitachi’s new side load bucket is mounted on the same housing and feed system that makes the model No. NV45AB one of the most durable tools in the marker. This new roofing tool provides quick fastener changes without t

This is without question one of the toughest, best-built roofing nailers we’ve ever had our hands on. We expected no less from Hitachi, but we were pretty much in awe at first use.

The side load is a great improvement over having to turn the tool over to fill your magazine, and loading literally takes a few seconds. Adjusting the drive depth is just as quick and easy, accomplished by turning the knurled knob. It’s got a smooth, clean design that leaves it perfectly balanced in your hand, and it’s so much lighter than it looks, at 5-1/2 pounds, thanks to Hitachi engineering. The rubber grip is comfortable and gives you a great, secure hold, and rubber pads give the nailer a little traction on steep surfaces.

Its bounce-fire mechanism will keep up with even the fastest roofer, but we think picking up the optional sequential-fire mechanism is a good idea for situations where absolute precision is key. It uses wire-collated nails, 7/8 to 1-3/4 inches, and the magazine holds 120 fasteners.

Most roofers just accept nail jams as an occupational pain, but this Hitachi is exceptional in its performance, shooting off coil after coil without a moment’s trouble. To top it off, this is one of the most rugged steel armatures we’ve met. Professional roofers will love this nailer, and if you’re a brave do-it-yourselfer, don’t make the mistake of buying a cheap nailer – the relatively slim savings is definitely not worth it. You cannot go wrong with this roofer. — Kris Jensen-Van Heste
