Product description

Long nails into hardwood? No problem. Working overhead? It's only 4.2 pounds. Hate having the exhaust in your face? Tool-free, 360-degree adjustment takes care of that. No time for jams? Clearing takes no more than a couple of seconds because of the quick-release nose. The magazine is made of nylon, but it seems as rugged to us as any metal magazine out there. That's also why this nailer is so easy on the hands. Add to that a nicely padded grip and a selective trigger and you'd think you have the perfect nailer. But get this—there's a built-in dust blower that clears light debris and dust from your workpiece. Hitachi quality leaves nothing to want.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

An ideal tool for installing cabinets, casings, staircases, and chair rails, the Hitachi NT65MA2 2-1/2-Inch 15-Gauge Angled Finish Nailer features a unique air duster, tool-less depth of drive, heavy-duty construction, and dual firing modes. Its compact body and angled magazine make for easy operation at tight angles.

This finish nailer's dual-firing, angled design gives you versatility for a range of jobs.

Dual Firing Options Offer Precise or Continuous Driving
Featuring selective actuation for making tool-less firing transitions, the NT65MA2 Finish Nailer can be used for a variety of different applications. By simply sliding the selection control up or down with your hand, you can choose between intermittent and continuous firing. Intermittent firing is ideal for jobs that require precise driving, while the continuous setting can be used to fire nails at a rapid pace by using a bumping motion along the workpiece.

Angled Magazine Lets You Get into Tight Spaces
With a 34-degree angled magazine, the NT65MA2 fits into spaces that larger nailers just can't. The magazine fits up to 100 15-gauge finishing nails between 1-1/4 and 2-1/2 inches in length. Nail strips are loaded from the rear of the magazine, and a convenient window lets you track your nail status.

Depth of Drive Adjustment for Accuracy
The NT65MA2 features a convenient depth-of-drive adjustment knob located near the nose. This tool-less dial makes it easy to control the depth of the finishing nails, making it a great feature for countersinking or flush driving. Simply turn the dial to get the right depth for the job.

Nose Tip Protects the Tool and the Workpiece
The included nose cap helps prolong the NT65MA2's life and helps prevent scratching of the workpiece. A tool-less clogged nail release mechanism allows you to quickly clear jammed nails from the nose for efficient operation.

Air Duster and Exhaust Keep Your Workspace Clean
The NT65MA2 features a unique air duster that keeps your workspace clean and free of debris. Its conveniently located knob is easily accessible with your thumb, and when pressed, it releases a shot of air that clears your workpiece.

Additionally, the NT65MA2 uses a 360-degree tool-less adjustable exhaust vent that directs the tool's exhaust in any direction you choose.

Compact and Comfortable for Maneuverability and Control
Weighing just 4.4 pounds and measuring 13-17/32 x 11-31/32 x 3-7/32 inches (LxHxW), the NT65MA2 is designed for easy maneuverability. Its well-balanced design reduces fatigue, and its long-lasting rubber grip provides comfort and control on the job.

Built to last, the Hitachi NT65MA2 2-1/2 inch 15-Gauge Angled Finish Nailer is backed by a five-year limited warranty.

Customer reviews

« well made and trouble free operation »

Used to face and tongue nail 3/4 hardwood flooring.

I bought the nailer to replace a very old Pasload 16 ga. nailer that kept double striking. I found that the stouter 15 guage nails seemed to hold the flooring better as well.

This unit worked flawlessly and was very easy to position the nose into the flooring tongue when my big nailer ran out of space. I also used it to face nail the flooring and it was easy to adjust the depth of the nail head penetration.
In comparing the prices at the big box stores for similar guns, I found the price of the Hitachi very reasonable.
Nails are available everywhere in various lengths.

« Absolutly the best gun out there, hands down »

Gosh, where do you even begin, with a nail gun like the Hitachi NT65MA2? I've been a Superintendent for both residential and commercial for 5 years, and this is the gun I was seeing day in and day out, for all finish work. The handle is great, the balance is good, its light weight, easy to load, and I personally have never had my jamb up but it's extremely easy to remove jamb nails with the latch right on the front. It has the moving directional exhaust, which is very nice, when you don't want to get the exhaust shooting you in the face at times. But the best part of this gun I feel is the air blower button. When you're installing baseboard or anything on the floor, it's annoying when you have to sweep up all the little pcs. of tile, or grout then you get back to that section and there's more. Those days of carrying around a little duster are over. If you want a gun that's going to get handed down from generation to generation this Hitachi is for you. This isn't the only Hitachi gun I own and they are all absolutely perfect to me. Also I'm a huge fan of tools that have cases, and this nail gun comes with a very nice Hitachi case and safety glasses, also I was able to get a box of 1000 2 1/2 finish nails in it also and nothing moves around its little things like that, that make your day go by easier. Sorry this review was kind of long and off subject a little maybe, but when I buy things the reviews are what you need to base your buy on sometimes, because were all people who have already purchased the item, and used it. I own a small General Contracting Co. and websites like Amazon always seem to have the best prices, and that what small business are looking for to keep afloat. Hope this review was helpful. Thank you for taking the time to read it.

« great nailer --- but it doesn't like Bostitch nails »

I'm not as experienced with nailers as a lot of the folks that have already posted here. I'm only posting to chime in and say that this nailer seems to be a very fine tool.

My only problem with it was with Bostitch 2 1/2in nails. These nails jammed terribly in my gun. Apparently they are collated at a different angle than the Senco and other nails that are available for 15 gauge nailers. I've run several sticks of Senco 2 1/2in nails without a single problem.

« Great Finish Nailer »

Bought this due to building a 12 x 16 shed with T&G aspen siding. Was and still am blown away. This nailer is well balanced, lightweight
and just a plain workhorse. No nail jams, easy depth adjustment, plenty of power for other hardwood moulding, and the no mar front piece works great.
Have used Dewalt and Bostitch smaller gauge nailers in the past for smaller trim and woodworking projects, but the Hitachi is far superior.
And for the price, you can't beat it. The only thing needed in the next version is a lockout feature so the gun won't fire when you're out of nails.

« Excellent nailer »

Other reviewers have already said it, so I'll keep it short and say it with stars. This nailer is high quality and an excellent product. I don't have experience with other nailers for comparison, but I would recommend this one without hesitation.
