 Once again, Hitachi produces a superior product., March 6, 2003
Reviewer: Ken Hopf
I was in need of another siding gun, and saw the NV75AG just hit the market. Being that I own the siding (4 years use) and framing (8 years use) versions Hitachi makes (both superior products), when it came time to get a second nailer for siding the choice was clear. For several years I have been contempating getting a coil framer. When sheeting walls on the ground I loose considerable time reloading with the stick framer. This gun holds over 225 nails in one coil! And should my stick framer blow a top seal, or sider fail, the NV75AG will allow me to continue.
The gun functions flawlessly, with both the depth adjustment on the gun and a non maring tip included. Hitachi includes all allen wrenches and fittings, something other makers should but don't.
Only complaints, cost and plastic skirting. Cost, well it takes the place of 2 guns. Skirting, easily removed.

Not as powerful as a large framing nailer, March 6, 2006
Reviewer: A polymath
This is an excellent siding and framing nailer, however it is not as powerful as a Hitachi NR83A framing nailer, which has a substantially larger air chamber for driving nails. In most cases this nailer is great for framing; its compact size allows you to face-nail and toe-nail easier in tight spaces. However, when nailing a .131 x 3" framing nail into two pieces of old growth fir 2x (not as common of scenario these days unless you reuse materials from demolitions on the West coast), the nail will often sit proud about an inch or more. The Hitachi NR83A will usually sink the nail in this scenario, albeit sometimes the nail may sit about a 1/4" proud.

Good Gun, February 24, 2006
Reviewer: Tobias "toobiloo" (Gloucester, Ma United States) - See all my reviews
This gone has been great. During the last month I've used it to nail of sheating with 8p frame coils, done a pant load of shingles with 5p coils and nailed of exterior trim with s.s. ring 8p, all to the perfect depth with the easy, tool-less depth of drive setting. Why 4 stars? because I had to get a hanger for it, and oh yeah it didn't bl** me.

 excellent gun, worth the price, December 6, 2004
Reviewer: Z. Blumner
i purchased two of these guns last year and have used them heavily, without any problems. these are great tools. very well designed. light enough for siding all day, compact and very fast for framing, sheathing and subflooring. i don't waste time loading nails every minute. no jam problems. just don't try to load mangled coils, duh.

Great Nailer, Great Buy, March 15, 2004
Reviewer: "strongshock"
Amazon's Tool Crib shipped on time with no glitches. The 75 nailer is typical of Hitachi's great nailers, and has the versatility to do framing and siding. Mine has gone through about 4000 2" Senco and 3" Bostich nails for fence building without a miss and little sign of wear. Since I only use it once in a while, I'm confident it will last me a lifetime.
