Hitachi NR90AD Clipped Head 2-Inch to 3-1/2-Inch Framing Nailer

Saturday, January 6th 2007

Amazingly light, super compact and easy to load and fire, the 90AD is a nice change from the beefy nailers that framers are used to. Hitachi went to aluminum on this body, and it really cuts down on the weight of the tool. It’s only 7 pounds, the lightest we’ve seen in its class, yet it drives 2- to 3-1/2 inch nails in all kinds of applications: floor and wall framing, truss and window build-up, subflooring and roof decking, wall sheathing and... 

Paslode 500959 5/8 to 2-Inch 18-Gauge Brad Nailer

Saturday, January 6th 2007

Most of us who use pneumatic nailers are partial to one brand or another, and if Paslode isn’t usually your choice, we think you owe it to yourself to have a look at this brad nailer. We’ll get out of the way the only thing we don’t like: depth-of-drive isn’t tool-free. Aside from that relatively small thing, this is one fantastic nailer. It’s the lightest we’ve ever had in hand, and while that may not seem like such an important thing,...

DeWalt D55155 15 Amp 2-3/4 Horsepower 4 Gallon Oiled Single Hot Dog Compressor

Thursday, January 4th 2007

At just a foot high and less than two feet wide out of the carton, this compressor was quite a bit smaller than we expected, so to be fair, we quickly lowered our expectations. The joke was on us, though, because this little powerhouse just doesn’t quit, and we learned that you can’t judge a compressor by its size. We should have known better when the first thing we saw was the word “Emglo” emblazoned in black on that famous DeWalt...
