Hitachi NT50GS Cordless Gas-Powered, 18-Gauge Finish Nailer

Hitachi. The maker’s NT50GS 2-inch gas-powered 18-gauge finish nailer features a combination of lithium-ion battery technology and a gas fuel cell to offer the convenience of a cordless tool with the power of a pneumatic. Able to drive fasteners from 5/8 inch to 2 inches in length, the NT50GS features a reload indicator to avoid dry firing. The 0.6-ounce fuel rods are also easily replaced at the end of a 1,200-shot lifespan, thanks to a top-loading compartment. The tool comes with two 3.6-volt lithium-ion batteries, an AC/DC charger with automotive adapter, carrying case, safety glasses, no-mar tip and hex bar wrenches, and a bonus 3.6-volt lithium-ion screwdriver. Fuel rods are sold separately. 800.829.4752. www.hitachipowertools.com.
