Product description

– With setting the milestone in electrical and instrumentation design, Hitachi is considered to be the best in its class. Hitachi NR90AE(S) can fire 2 to 3.5-inch plastic collated nails and can hold up to 64 nails at the same time. Holding this many nails provides the advantage when 900 to 1000 nails are to be fired per week. The 21-degree inclined nail’s channel can then be easily reloaded with the magazine in a matter of seconds.

– The Hitachi NR90AE(S) nailer shows the robustness of Hitachi with its design. One such addition feature that can be found in the product is the use of slip proof elastomer grip on its handle. The grip is made up of special polymer material which along with the grip pattern will ensure your grip on the tool remains strong. This is particularly useful with your hands starting to become sweaty during long hours of work.

– The entire tool is almost 7.5 pounds and hence is considered extremely lighter as compared to similar products available in the market. This reduction in the weight of the product is mainly due to the aluminum alloy that is used in its manufacturing. Other than making the tool light in weight this aluminum alloy also provides wear resistance, which in turn increases the tool’s useful life.

• Well-balanced and flexibility: Unlike the other nailers the Hitachi NR90AE is well balanced which along with its light weight is great when working on an overhead work. The additional grips provided on the handle make sure that the hand is comfortable during such overhead works.
