There is a new nailer in town! Hitachi has introduced a new 2in. gas powered 18-gauge finish nailer, model number NT50GS. It combines lithium ion battery technology and a gas fuel cell. This gives the user the convenience of a cordless tool along with the power of a pneumatic one! It is very light in weight, offers plenty of ease of use, and is safe. The NT50Gs nailer can be used on a variety of applications, such as molding installation, chair rail, decorative trim and much more.
The portability of the tool is very nice. Because there is no air hose or compressor, the tooler can easily move all about the shop, and hopefully get work done in a much more time efficient manner. The NT50GS drives fastners from 5/8in. to 2in. in length. The tool’s magazine capacity is 100 nails. It has a nice no-mar nose cap to keep soft surfaces from being damaged, and the cap can easily be taken on and off the tool.
The NT50Gs is very compact and light in weight, which makes for great balance, maneuverability, and less fatigue, especially when using the tool for overhead projects. The grip is comfortable and secure, due to the use of an elastomer handle.. It has a variable position hook that can be used on either side of the nailer for left or right-handed users. There is a quick-clear nose tool-less jam release, and we know how much easier that makes for time saved on the job.
Hitachi’s .6-oz finish nailer fuel rods have a long life of 1200 shots each. When the cell is spent, the nailer can instantly be reloaded. In addition, when one of the 3.6V lithium ion batteries runs down, an indicator light lets the tool user know. The battery can be fully recharged in one hour using the AC/DC charger.
The NT50GS comes with 2 lithium ion batteries, (3.6V), an AD/DC charger with an automotive adapter, carrying case, safety glasses, no-mar tip and hex bar wrenches and a bonus 3.6V lithium ion Screwdriver. This is a great cordless addition to Hitachi’s line. To find out more, go to Hitachi’s website through the link on our site!
