Best Cordless Nailer kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5jSqIWlbddkia8

[@Bicloptic]

@tools how does this compare to the 18v?

[@EDVERSiTY]

I love the sound of Lovebirds and Cockatiels in the background. Gives it an ambience.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

There's no lovebirds, but there are cockatiels and plenty of others.

[@Custard-The-Dragon]

I appreciate that when you try out new tools you often put them to pactical use. Thanks. Much better than someone just putting a nail into a scrap of wood just to show the KZbin audience.

[@xzibito187]

its disappointing that Makita doesn't have a decent selection of nailers

[@pete_lind]

Makita is not so big in nailers , but they make lot of garden tools , if they just would put their garden tool R&D crew to figuring out nailers . Would also like to see staplers , for 1/4" and 1" wide , they do have pneumatic versions , so cant be hard to make them as cordless .

[@James-po5ed]

Makes me angry, I'm ridiculously heavy into Makita cordless tools and I'm reluctant to have to deal with multiple platforms, but I'm getting close to branching into Hikoki because of this.

[@roland985]

My solution is to stick with Makita, and buy cheap battery adapters so I can use a throwaway cryobi or Bunnings Ozito tool.

[@kizzjd9578]

You and all the other 20million makita users worldwide are disappointed 😂

[@poorcarpenter5024]

@@roland985 Is there an adapter for using mikita 40v batteries with Hikoki 36v tools?

[@cwolf8841]

Bought one. Your video is far better than the company video on Amazon. Why do companies think loud music and zooming sells tools? No instruction manual in the box. They make an AC adaptor BTW. So there is no nail depth adjustment?

[@philhines]

I would love it if you could just purchase the magazine & firing head, and swap it out on your framing nailer. I’d really like that on the Milwaukee, as that’s what I run!

[@busiben]

Thanks for the review, I want one! Hikoki rocks a 6 year warranty on their gear.

[@briha3142]

Metabo HPT gives this tool Lifetime Warranty, now! I love my Metabo HPT 18V and 36V Nailers!

[@philhines]

Yeah but “Lifetime” means that if it craps out they say ‘yeah that was the lifetime of the tool’. So it means nothing. 6 years means if it craps out in 5.5 years, they have to replace it.

[@histguy101]

@@philhines lifetime means production lifespan, or if discontinued, as long as they still have the parts available to repair it. It translates to roughly a 10-12 year warranty for most tools.

[@gordonx145]

this is the best thing since sliced bread. My left thumb will worship at the alter of Hikoki 😁😉

[@joeschlong7633]

Bro thank god u showed it going through the metal, I was curious on how that would work because I hate using air connectors, pain in my ass having to move the hose around trusses and shit

[@default9740]

and now I'm "hanging out' for the blower review!

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

This time Sunday. And Tear Down tomorrow on Builds & Stuff.

[@DW-hl4yu]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL I just got this blower (Australia). I can't wait for your vid and I hope you compare it with the Makita 40V.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

I sure do. Up tomorrow.

[@rjt135]

This would be way overkill for me, the M12 palm nailer is probably more suited for any hanger jobs I have.

[@kingjamezo4583]

Got this one month ago, first batch in NZ I guess, I like it alot even many ppl complain it's toooooo heavey....😑

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

They are available exclusively at Mitre10 until the end of October.

Hey Bro, We love your videos! They are engaging and fun. Is is possible to get a comparison video between. -Dewalt DCD999 hammer drill with flexvolt battery. -Hikoki DV36DA 36v -Makita 40v Please :)

[@notsieb1040]

Bro has everything

[@jacksonkinney8175]

Paslode has had an adapter head that has done this exact job since at least 2015. nails don't need the spacing either. D-heads.

[@Simon-Simon-Simon]

Most volume framing tradies just used a colaited nailer and just shot randomly through plates

[@christianwithers7335]

13:00 is what we came to see. Irresistible force versus immovable object. I've wondered how the DR1890 would fair if Eddie Hall held it against a granite rock!

[@nfi2nfi2]

I like the location of the switch for the gun, means you can turn it on one handed if you need.

[@nfi2nfi2]

Flick the gun back on the web of you index and thumb press the button flick back boom easy done.

[@Rompestromper]

I believe the dewalt dcn 693 is also a metal connect nailer cordless, at least in europe

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

So it is. Not available here.

[@cislife7140]

You can get it in north America, I ordered one, it came from Texas and I'm in Alberta

[@user-pl5vb3nj4o]

Would like to try it on cladding shame it doesn’t have a depth adjuster

[@robertrada4783]

Of course you bought the little blower. Now if only we could get you to post a video a day. ;)

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

2 coming in a few hours and another 2 tomorrow...

[@planespeaking]

Holding it overhead is going to get fatiguing. It's a big old beast. One where a backpack configuration might work better?

[@toolscientist]

Can you ask the not-a-hikoki-rep who's responsible for the hikoki/metabo-hpt naming boondoggle? Name, address, car make/model/plate should be all I need.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Honestly, he isn't an Hikoki rep, and does not in any way work for Hikoki, nor anywhere that sells Hikoki.

[@Frieslick]

Still think the Paslode PPN is the king of this division.

[@aessu]

Okay, now just a siding nailer and a roofing nailer and I'm going all cordless on nail guns.

[@FixthisCD]

dewalt makes a roofing nailer and someone makes a siding tip for it

[@schwartzmatthewe]

Dewalt makes one

[@EngineerMikeF]

13:00 firing thru bare metal should be fine in lieu of that pesky hard to reach nail hole should be A-OK for load if firing into solid wood & not say between 2x members behind the plate (probably actually better that thru a hole truth be told). One caveat: thicker strap metal may provide a dangerous situation. 2nd caveat: NEVER try a shot thru metal w/gun at an angle as it'll glance out & fly the nail g.k.w.

[@thomasschafer7268]

Korrekt. Schutzbrille und Mund zu. 45.000 Nägel an einem Tag geschossen. Kollege hat einen Schneidezahn verloren.

[@catalinleonida4790]

What thickness are those connectors? 1 mm?

[@hairsonabobbin]

I decided to mix things up a bit and hit my index finger

[@callumwardle3185]

Can you use the 36v batteries in the 18v first fix nailer? 😊

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Yes. The 36v (multivolt) batteries work in most 18v Hikoki and Metabo HPT tools.

[@nickhope9954]

We use the paslode coil master in Australia.

[@mcaudery]

Not allowed under code. And the bracket manufacturer won’t cover it under warranty

[@nickhope9954]

[@Seppietje1988]

How is it going in concrete? My friend has a gas powered Hilti where he can shoot nails with in concrete/H-beams. Can this 36V Hikoki do the same without gas?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

It's not a concrete nailer.

[@Seppietje1988]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL but what happens when you do so?

[@xMatrix_ki11erx]

And do you think makita will do a single 18v rear handel saw

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

No. But they are releasing a single 18v rear handle chainsaw.

[@xMatrix_ki11erx]

[@kizzjd9578]

Do they make twist shank nails for them like the max fsp32?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

I haven't seen any.

[@ronamoo8324]

These have been in Mitre10 for a month.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Yrs I know. But only mitre10 can sell them until the end of October, and I wasn't going to pay the horrific Mitre10 price for one.

[@nfi2nfi2]

Did you find that the nails would twist inside the rack and become stuck with the strongties?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

No.

[@nfi2nfi2]

🤔 I recently got the gun and it does it fairly consistently which is kind of annoying. the spring loaded part seems to get under the nails and twist them. 😅 guess it’s going back to Hikoki

[@Aepek]

Where the heck do you find the 35° paper nails for this nailer; cuz if I could find the nails here in USA…..I’d buy this nailer in a sec8nd, but 30°-33° metal connector, or joist hanger nailers is what used to and those nails are everywhere. 35° collated nails, can’t find!

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

30 to 33° will work fine.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

So long as they have the gap.

[@Aepek]

@@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL so as angle of mag is 35°; would 30°-34° MC nails work just fine is this nailer? Used to my old hitachi pneumatic nailer (2 strips) and uses 30° nails. I’m assuming that as magazine is 35°, that doesn’t mean the nails must be “35° “ either….as finding 35° nails is like impossible b/c in my 25+ yrs in trades…never heard of em and don’t think they make at all, lol…. 🤔 It’s like telling your new apprentice to go to store and buy a fluorescent bulb bender or a glass hammer……THEY ARE NOT REAL😂😂

[@sdevane75]

Wrong max nai size is 3.3mm not 4

Takes from 3.3mm to 4.1mm diameter connector nails.

[@haroon420]

Just do an analysis on all your videos and what percentage is Hikoki. It’ll be right at the back. Makita, dewalt and Milwaukee bring out new products (big and small) regularly. Before this nailer, The last product Hikoki released was their two cordless routers. Before that it was their cordless table saw. That’s all they’ve done in the past 18 months.

[@mongocrock]

Typical hikoki nail gun, clumsy af and hard to work with. If you gonna pick up a product nailer the size of a framing gun might as well get a second old paslode and change tips.

[@martin8313]

change tips? huh? paslode makes these types of 'metal connector' nailers, look up "ppn50".
