The Hitachi 16-gauge finish nailer is designed to meet the needs of the advanced do-it-yourselfer or the professional trim carpenter. This model's built-in air duster button permits air from the compressor to bypass the nailing function, so you can clear away dust from your work surface for better nail prep and a clearer view of your work area. Its compact, lightweight style is easy to hold and easy to aim, for precision nail placement that won't wear out your arms. Use this versatile nailer when installing molding, chair rails, cabinetry, or other fine finish applications.
The NT65M2 comes ready to work, with a selective actuation switch that lets you fire sequentially or on contact, depending on the job and the application -- and no tools or additional parts are required to make the change. It also has a tool-less, easy-to-clear nose that makes removing nail jams simple, plus a tool-less depth of drive dial that adjusts for flush fastening in a variety of materials. If you want superior control and a professional-looking finish, this is the easiest way to get it.

Choosing a Pneumatic Nailer
For small household jobs, an old-fashioned hammer is the perfect stand-by. But if you've got a bigger project on your to-do list, then a pneumatic power nailer could be your new best friend. Pneumatic nailers are a great alternative to traditionally powered nailers, because they're capable of providing more power -- and they operate with fewer moving parts, so a pneumatic nailer can take more abuse than its corded or battery-run cousins.
A Word on Air Compressors
All pneumatic tools require a steady supply of controlled, compressed air in order to work properly, and nailers are no exception. Bigger compressors with hardy motors and large tanks generate higher PSI levels and maintain them longer, so you'll probably want a piston-type, two-stage compressor to power your nailer. Smaller or single-stage models are fine for little projects, but if you need a pneumatic nailer, the odds are good that you're looking for some intense PSI and CFM ratings. Sometimes, a pneumatic nailer will come with its own compressor -- or it can be purchased as part of an air tool set.
How Pneumatic Nailers Work
Pneumatic nailers use compressed air power to cock and release the hammer. In order to fire a fastener, a valve opens to let air fill a cylinder -- which has a piston that's driven down hard and fast. This forces the nail out of the gun and into your workpiece. Then the piston recoils, and another nail is loaded.
Important Points to Consider
Check manufacturer's guidelines to find out what pressure (PSI) and volume (CFM) of air will give your pneumatic nailer the best results. Also, keep in mind that any restrictions on the air hose will diminish the tool's performance. Hoses that are very long, contain too much moisture, or are incorrectly sized will reduce air flow. This can prematurely wear out your tool and cause it to perform poorly.
General Features
Most models will feature a rubber nosepiece to prevent scuffing and marring of your workpieces, plus an exhaust system (rear or adjustable) to keep sawdust and debris out of your face and away from your project. Pneumatic nailers usually have an adjustable depth of drive, and depending on the model, they can accommodate nails up to 2-1/2 inches long, in a variety of different gauge sizes. With a powerful enough compressor behind them, they can shoot thousands of nails a day.
From the Manufacturer
The NT65M2 was designed to meet the needs of a professional trim carpenter. Hitachi's selective actuation trigger lets you change from sequential to contact fire with the flip of a switch. The integrated air duster is a useful feature that can be used to blow dust of off your work place or saw. A 360 degree adjustable exhaust allows the user to direct the exhaust away from the work and or the user. Nail placement is accurate by the tool free dpeth adjustment. This tool comes with a case and a no mar tip.

This is my second nailer, in my lifetime. First nail gun was generic and I used to put a roof on my house (if you wonder why roofs are expensive= because it's brutal work and very dangerous. Leave it to the professionals. I have put on a couple roofs in my career and I will gladly pay for it now.) Sorry, I digress.
I used this nailer to build boxes for a work project. It worked so well, I bought an 18 gauge Hitachi to do the finish trim work on the project.
I am a Dewalt man through and through. I bleed black and yellow, you can tell by my garage, but the price and quality of the product won me over. Still holding on to my Dewalt tools, but I am looking at other foreign options now.
The only con I had is loading the nails. If you push the nails in and hit the release to load 1.5" nails in, it will jam every time. I tried it with a few different sizes and it did it every time.
The fix:
1) Use the loader button to pull down the clip to prepare the nailer for more nails.
2) Load the nails into the magazine
3) Hold the trigger down that pushes the nails into the gun, but don't let it push them up yet.( that's when it jams)
4) Hold the release button and the loader button at the same time.
5) Point the gun down towards the floor and make sure the nails are completely in the magazine
6) Slowly raise the nails up into the magazine and make sure they seat correctly toward the front of the gun.
After a couple magazines, you will get the hang of it. Slowly drop the nails in, and line them up correctly and no issues.
The gun works great after you get the hang of it. Make sure to put two drops of pneumatic oil before using the gun. (Pneumatic oil goes in the same hole were you attach the air hose.)
-exhaust can be rotated (air in the face is annoying and dangerous)
-button to spray air (very handy for bleeding compressors at the end of the day)
-great weight and balance, extremely comfortable
-jam clearing mechanism is super easy to use (haven't had a jam yet though)
-very consistent depth of drive
-comes with air fitting pre-installed (no need to buy)
Cons:
-don't like the tip style as much as my other nailers
-no lockout mechanism to prevent dry fire
It's worked well for me on furniture projects, and I don't have any major complaints. It's a great nailer (maybe even the cadillac), but I probably wouldn't recommend it to any of my amateur woodworker friends, because they can get something else to do the job at a fraction of the cost (lots of good nailers on the market right now).
Five stars for quality and design, but only three stars for value. In the end, it's still a five star tool.
I also don't like that I this doesn't have a belt clip. Seems like quite a few trim nailers are going this way for "safety", but it's annoying to have to buy an aftermarket hook. Tripping on a trim nailer or air hose clipped to your belt or pocket seems pretty low on the safety scale.

some of hitachis's newer model guns have gone down in quality from the older models.. this one does not disappoint
The good:
sinks nails well
Very few jams
fires nails consistently
The blower is an excellent and useful feature
The bad:
Loading magazine could be better designed. Under heavy recoil the second clip can pop out of the bottom.
Should have a dry fire feature. Hard to tell by the sound of the gun when you're empty.
Pretty loud compared to some other brand guns.
Having put it through quite the workout, I am confident that this nail gun will provide many years of good service.
