The lightweight Hitachi NT50AE2 2-Inch 18-Gauge Brad Nailer is an ideal tool for a small carpentry projects. Featuring a high-capacity magazine, exhaust vent, easy depth-of-drive adjustments, and a removable nose cap for prolonged tool life, this pneumatic brad nailer will help you tackle everything from cabinet installation and picture-frame assembly to furniture construction and finish work.
Dual Firing Options for Precise or Continuous DrivingFeaturing 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.

If you've ever pulled your baseboards off, you know what a joy it can be to tac nail them back into place without marring the surface. This inexpensive little gadget really cuts down on the time, frustration, and cost of repairing or replacing damaged baseboards (when installing them.)The Hitachi is a 5/8" to 2" pneumatic (compressed air) powered nailer. It will require a small air compressor of some kind, but just about any light duty pancake compressor should be more than enough to power it. It takes readily available strait-collated brad nails. It's simple side load design. The trigger is simple and has a short enough stroke to be practical. I have not had a jam yet but clearing it seems simple enough. There is a pressure activated safety just like on the large commercial roofing and framing nailers that prevent firing unless the head makes contact with a surface. It's small and light enough to be a terrific project or furniture nailer. Small boxes are a breeze to assemble. I'm VERY impressed with this little nailer!Out of the box it comes with an attached standard size M-type / industrial style quick-disconnect male air coupler. You will need some pneumatic tool oil. The instructions say add 5 to 10 drops thru the hole in the coupler before each days use. (Twice a day if it's heavy usage.)Update: 9-20-2011I had an issue with a leaking back porch roof. I was able to use this nailer as well as some cheap furring strips to temporarly tac a tarp over the roof until I get it repaired. It's worked well. The burst (AKA bump fire) mode worked flawlessly... Everytime I touch this nailer I find another use. I couldn't be happier with this purchase!

Hard to beat this little brad nailer....especially the warranty. I don't forsee needing the warranty but it's the best.I've been using this brad nailer for a multitude of projects and it is really nice (over 1000 brads so far). I've used about every size brad it can carry and have had no problems with the tool itself. Loading is easy and quick and the swtch from bump to trigger is convenient. One time I struck a nail head and jammed a Brad in this tool. Clearing the jam was simple and quick with no tools required to get it done! It slowed me down less than a minute it figure out how to clear the jam....also didn' need the book to figure it out!! The only thing I find difficult with the tool is the depth adjustment, it's a little difficult to turn if you have really big fingers. Oh yeah, the case it comes with is nice and there's room to store some small boxes of Brads in it too.Overall I think Hitachi put a lot of thought into the design of this Brad Nailer with the user in mind and I highly recommend this tool.NOTE: I was raised to be a Craftsman guy but Hitachi is winning me over...this is the third Hitachi tool I've bought and the Quality, design and warranty you get for the price is tough to beat....food for thought Craftsman your tools aint what they used to be and you can'l live on a name forever!.........I'm the generation who has a son to teach and I'm not recommending Craftsman to him (most recently I bought a Craftsman dozer/snowplow blade for my craftsman lawn tractor and the blade lift welds broke the first time using it to move snow; I couldn't even drive the tractor till I removed the plow. That is not the quality I want to depend on and was the final straw that broke this camels back with Craftsman. Even my dad gave up on them and sold his craftsman tractor for a John Deere.

Works well. Sticking to 85psi to avoid overshooting nails. When oiled a bit too much it seems to jam frequently. Also when my gf used it, it jams almost everytime. I'm guessing she is not holding her wrist firm. Jammed 2x in the first 200 nails for me. Jammed for her like 10x in less than 1 minute. Very light gun overall.I used 60psi to dry fire and unseat the rings. Manual recommends a few 70psi dry fires after not being used in a long time. Prohibits higher psi dry fires though.Overall I'm satisfied. On the internet, people say 18gauge brads shouldn't be used for trim or molding and 16 gauge should be used for increased holding power. But I'm seriously surprised at the holding power. 1 flush nail into trim and a 1x4 was way stronger than I was thinking. I was slightly disappointed that the nails could not hold cloth that well even when fired at different psi and depths, but I should've expected that. Guess I just gotta buy a staple gun to attach the inside curtains to the wall around the edge of the window. I needed one for Christmas and interior lights anyways.If there is any design flaw it would be the depth gauge. Literally not labeled which way to turn. Have to look at the manual and it's easy to forget or mirror the direction. The depth gauge is right in between the trigger and the nail magazine. Would've at least liked some nice bold arrows there or a + / - sign.

連続使用にも耐え、動作も軽くたいへん使いやすいです。残ピン確認窓の仕様が気に入っています。残ピンが残り少なくなってくると見やすい黄色のサインが見えてくるのでカラ打ちすることが少なくすみました。先端の安全装置だけが少し使いづらい。とはいっても狭いところで変則的な角度での打ち込みに対応しづらいといっただけのことであっておおきな問題点ではありません。なにより安い。
