The NR1890DR 18V plastic strip framing nailer and the NR1890DC18V paper strip framing nailer combines Hitachi’s reputation as the pro preferred brand of pneumatic nailers with its unique lifetime tool warranty on cordless tools to deliver the quality and performance expected from a Hitachi framing nailer.
These cordless framing nailers utilize Hitachi’s unique Air Spring Drive System that uses sealed compressed air to drive each nail. How this works: the piston rests part-way down the cylinder when the tool is idle. When powered on, the brushless motor drives the piston to the top position, compressing the sealed air. Once the trigger is depressed, the piston shoots down and drives the nail. This unique system results in zero ramp up time, up to two nails per second in driving speed and recoil that feels like a pneumatic nailer.
Best of all, there is no need to ever refill the tank. However, if the nailer should require maintenance such as a Driver or O-ring replacement, these nailers can be easily serviced by any Hitachi authorized service center (ASC). Once work is complete, the ASC uses a Hitachi-issued tool specific refill regulator gauge that automatically refills the air tank to the nailers specific requirements and then nailer is ready to go.
The NR1890DR 18V cordless plastic strip nailer accepts 2- to 3-1/2-inch 21-inch plastic collated strip fasteners. At 10.8 pounds, with the compact 3.0Ah battery, this cordless framing nailer is well-balanced for easy maneuverability.
The NR1890DC 18V cordless paper-tape nailer accepts clipped head or offset round head 2- to 3-1/2-inch 30-degree +/- paper tape strip fasteners. At only 10.6 pounds, with the compact 3.0Ah battery, this cordless framing nailer is well-balanced for less user fatigue.
The on-tool control panel located at the base of the handle centralizes the power button, battery charge indicator and selective actuation. To activate the tool, the power button must be depressed for more than 1 second until the green light appears. After 30 minutes of inactivity, the nailer powers off for added safety and to conserve battery power.
The battery charge indicator button can be depressed to check the available power in the battery pack for less downtime. The selective actuation button lets the user quickly select between sequential or bump fire mode. Both nailers are capable of driving up to 400 nails per charge using the included compact 3.0Ah battery.
Both models are equipped with a convenient tool-less depth-of-drive dial that can be easily adjusted to adapt to woods of varying density. The pivoting rafter hooks adds convenience for when the tool is not being used. The ergonomically formed, non-slip rubber grip handles are designed for comfort during extended use. A safety lockout feature is employed as an additional safety measure. In contact mode, when the trigger is pulled, the nailer must be depressed against the intended material within two seconds or the trigger will lock. In sequential mode, the trigger must be pulled within two seconds of depressing the work contact or lock-out will occur. To unlock, the trigger is simply released and then pulled again to resume operation.
This series is powered by Hitachi’s new upgraded compact 3.0Ah Li-ion battery, model BSL1830C (339782) that delivers all the power needed in about half the weight. This new battery has the same capacity as a conventional 3.0Ah Li-ion battery, while the height is shortened by ¾ of an inch and the weight is 0.6 pounds less compared with Hitachi battery model BSL1830, making the work experience lighter, more comfortable and more convenient.
The batteries are also equipped with Hitachi’s Multiplex Protection Circuit to prevent over-load, over-charge and over-discharge that further extends the lifetime of the battery. They are fully compatible with all Hitachi 18V Li-ion slide-type tools for even more flexibility across Hitachi’s cordless line.
Each cordless framing nailer comes with a compact 3.0Ah Li-ion battery. With Hitachi’s recent Affordable Battery Program launched in Summer 2017, Hitachi compact 3.0Ah batteries can be purchased at retail for an everyday low price of only $39.99 and Hitachi’s 1.5Ah battery is selling for only $29.99, making the Hitachi battery platform a revolution in the cordless market.
The UC18YFSL charger cools the battery during the charging cycle to prevent overheating and comes with a red light indicator to clearly indicate the stage of charging the battery has achieved.
All Hitachi cordless brushless framing nailers come with a lifetime Li-ion tool warranty, two-year Li-ion Battery warranty and one-year Li-ion Charger.
