Hitatchi NV 65AH

dieselpig | Posted in Tools for Home Building on

I’m planning on stripping and re-siding my house this spring.  I’ve decided on fiber cement and still have couple of installation questions but am going to try to get those answers from the James Hardie booth at JLC Live in Providence.

My question is,  has anyone installed Hardi Plank with an NV 65AH (Hitatchi) coil nailer?  How did it work.  What nails did you use?  What length?  Any suggestions or things to watch for?

Thanks in advance

Aw heck, while I’m at it….shears or circ saw with fiber cement blade?  Why?
