Editor's Review: Tool Test: Cordless Finish Nailers

by Patrick McCombe review date: May 19, 2011

The Bostitch and Hitachi nailers appear to be exactly the same tool with different magazines. In fact, I used Bostitch and Hitachi fuel cells and batteries interchangeably during testing. The 15-ga. Bostich did better at the power test than the Hitachi version, likely because the Bostitch nail is sharper than the Senco-style (DA) nails used in the Hitachi. The low weight, excellent balance, and comfortable grips make the Bostitch tools (and their Hitachi clones) the most comfortable to use. The depth of drive is fine once set, but getting the correct countersink is somewhat finicky. I like that you can use the battery charger with both 12v DC and 110v AC by swapping the cord.
