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 modular housing construction, running on 70 to 120 psi. By far, the coolest feature on this redesigned nailer (aside from its hot new look) is the FlipFire switch. Just turn it to select either trigger fire or bump fire mode. Also blessedly tool-free is the depth-of-drive mechanism, which adjusts just with a simple turn. Loading the paper-taped nails is straightforward and quick, minimizing downtime on the job. Lube it after every day’s use and it will fire for years to come.--Kris Jensen-Van HestePrice: $541.80
