Hitachi NT50AE2 Brad Nailer

Directable exhaust, cutaway magazine, and quick-release nose

By Kit Camp

Price: $70
Weight: 2.0 lb.
I owned an earlier model of this nailer, but I got rid of it because it didn’t work very well. Unfortunately, I got the same sort of performance with this model. It’s louder than any other tool, left the largest nail holes, and felt too light to be stable. Features: directable exhaust, cutaway magazine, and quick-release nose.
