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

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.

This nailer features a padded handle, directional exhaust, a drive depth adjustment, and it weighs only 4.2 pounds. A tough, nylon magazine aligns with the handle to help keep weight down and prevent bending or denting. A selective trigger means no more wasteful double fires.

Customer Reviews

Full Time Finish Carpenter
I currently run five Hitachi, three Senco, and two Max finish nailers. The Hitachi NT65MA2 is the best nailer I have. It is very light with minimal recoil. It has enough power to sink nails in maple effortlessly. It is stone cold reliable- it has never broken a driver after five years of fulltime use (bought my old NT65MA in 98). The safety works well without marring. It shoots the Senco DA series (also UA) nail which has become the defacto industry standard. Hitachi appears to have spared no effort in designing and building the best 2 1/2" finish nailer.

great nailer
i bought this nailer several months ago. great finish gun. the little button near the top/side of the gun is an air blower. great to have available when doing base, to blow away the crumbs from falling plaster or debris that is in the way. just push and it blows it away, nice added feature that the others don't have. have had no problems and would recommend this highly

The Best 15-Gauge Finish Nailer...
As a custom homebuilder, I love high quality tools. I've had the opportunity to use many 15 gauge finish nailers throughout the years, and my hands down favorite is the Hitachi, for several reasons. It's by far the most reliable 15-gauge I've used. I run some HItachi's that are over 5 years old, and I've never had a problem with any of them. The balance of this gun is exceptional. To me balance of the gun is one of the most important features. I've run Bostitch, Senco, and Porter Cable, and I believe this gun is balanced better than any of them. The built in dust blower is also a great feature.

If this gun cost twice as much, I'd still use it, but the fact you can get it cheaper than most other 15 gauge nailers is just icing on the cake. If you're looking for the best 15 gauge nailer, this is it.
