Hitachi Power Tools Cuts the Cord with the Introduction of its New Series of Cordless Brushless Finish Nailers

BRASELTON, Ga.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Hitachi–Hitachi Power Tools (Hitachi Koki USA, Ltd.) today announced the newest
additions to its Finish Nailer lineup with a New Series of Battery
Powered Cordless Brushless models; the NT1850DE 18-Gauge 2”
Cordless Brad Nailer, the NT1865DM 16-Gauge 2-1/2”
Cordless Straight Finish Nailer, and the NT1865DMA 15-Gauge
2-1/2” Cordless Angled Finish Nailer. This series combines Hitachi’s
reputation as the Pro Preferred Brand of Pneumatic Nailers* with its
unique Lifetime Tool Warranty on Cordless products to deliver the
quality and performance expected from Hitachi.

Get more done with less and experience total fastening freedom from
Hitachi by losing the hose, the compressor and gas cartridges. This
series is powered by Hitachi’s New upgraded Compact 3.0Ah Lithium Ion
battery, model BSL1830C (339782) that has the same capacity as a
conventional 3.0Ah Lithium Ion battery, while the height is shortened by
¾ of an inch and the weight is 0.6 lbs. less (compared to Hitachi
battery model BSL1830). Each Cordless Finish Nailer comes with a Compact
3.0Ah Lithium Ion battery (while most competitive options only come with
1.5Ah, 2.0Ah or 2.4Ah batteries to date).

All cordless nailers in this series feature Hitachi Brushless motors for
longer run time, less maintenance and increased durability. The driving
system used is similar to Hitachi’s pneumatic line featuring a unique
air spring drive system that uses compressed air to drive each nail.
This results in zero ramp up time, increased shooting speed, recoil that
feels like a pneumatic nailer, quicker response time between fastener
shots, better flush driving- even at an angle, and easy
maintenance if the need should arise due to fewer parts to manage.

They come with an on-tool battery charge indicator and tool-less
depth-of-drive dial that can be easily adjusted to adapt to woods of
varying density for a professional finish. Additionally, each has a
selective actuation switch that lets the user select between sequential
mode or bump fire mode, when rapid nailing is preferred. A convenient
tool-less, easy-to-clear nose makes it quick and simple to extract a
nail should one jam during use.

An integrated pivoting belt hook adds convenience, and can be adjusted
to fit on either side of the nailers (except on NT1865DMA). A no-mar
nose cap protects the work surface from markings. The narrow nose pieces
help facilitate nail placement in hard to reach areas and tight corners.
A built-in LED light on each nailer comes in handy when working low
light areas. The ergonomically formed, soft grip handles are designed
for comfort during extended use. For added safety, located on the
control panel at the base of the handle, is a power button. When
activated, the nailer is ready for use. It automatically shuts off power
after 30 minutes of inactivity. Also, a side-lock switch is incorporated
to prevent accidental firing.

All Hitachi Cordless Brushless Finish Nailers come with a Lifetime
Lithium-Ion tool warranty, 2-year Lithium-Ion Battery warranty and
1-year Lithium-Ion Charger warranty for ultimate peace of mind.

The NT1850DE Cordless 18-Gauge Brad Nailer accepts 5/8” to 2”
18-Gauge fasteners to tackle trim work, furniture assembly and other
finish applications. It is capable of driving up to 1,650 nails per
charge.

The NT1865DM Cordless 16-Gauge Finish Nailer accepts 1” to 2-1/2”
16-Gauge fasteners to install molding, chair rail, cabinetry and other
finish applications. It is capable of driving up to 1,500 nails per
charge.

The NT1865DMA Cordless 15-Gauge Angled Finish Nailer accepts
1-1/4” to 2-1/2” 15-Gauge angled fasteners to tackle almost any finish
project. It is capable of driving up to 1,100 nails per charge. The 34°
angle of the magazine allows the user to reach into corners or tight
spaces with ease.

Cordless Finish Nailer to deliver ultimate convenience and reliable
performance, look no further than Hitachi’s New Cordless Brushless
Lithium Ion Finish Nailer series with more to come on the horizon.
