NP35A Pin Nailer
Hitachi's NP35A pin nailer has a finely pointed nose and good visibility when placing pins
Feature The Hitachi has a finely pointed nose and good visibility when placing pins.
Although it’s about the same size as the Ridgid model, the Hitachi had no problem sinking 1-3/8-in. pins into the hardest test pieces, which the Ridgid could not do.
Flaw This tool doesn’t have a belt hook or dry-fire lockout, features that other nailers at this price point include.
Bottom Line This compact, no-frills nailer would be a good choice for someone starting out in the trades or a current builder still unsure of how to get the most out of a 23-ga. pinner. Its slight advantage in driving power is worth the slight increase in cost over the Ridgid.
