N3804AB3 ¼-inches Narrow Crown Stapler
Uses & Applications
Hitachi’s N3804AB3 narrow crown stapler is ideal for internal and external trim work, furniture assembly, cabinet and countertop work and other fine finish applications. It can be used in any application requiring superior holding strength in thin materials like soffit plywood, floor underlayment, cabinet backs, and countertop blanks. It’s 'one sweet stapler' as one of our end users put it.
Key Features and Benefits
|
|
|
|
---|---|---|---|
Tool-free Depth AdjustmentThe N3804AB3 offers tool-free depth adjustment that identically sets each staple to the desired depth into the material, for improved control and customization. Operating pressure ranges between 70-120 PSI and air consumption is .025ft3/cycle at 100 PSI. |
Ergonomically Designed Flip Actuation SwitchJust move the switch from bump fire mode (hold the trigger and the stapler will drive a staple each time the nose touches a surface) to sequential fire mode (trigger must be depressed each time for more deliberate placement and a slower pace of work). Either way, its quick to make the switch as your application requires without any tooling to make the adjustment. |
Lightweight and Well-balancedWeighing in at only 2.3 lbs the N3804AB3 is extremely well-balanced. It fits comfortably and securely in hand thanks to the non-slip elastomer grip and trigger. The weight, balance and handling are just right for precision performance. |
360 Degree Adjustable Exhaust PortAt the top of the stapler is the convenient 360° adjustable exhaust port. This can be spun around in any direction to ensure the air exhaust doesn’t blow in your face or near your work piece. |
Warranty Info, What's in the Box, and Other Information

Warranty InformationCovered by Hitachi’s 5-year warranty. |
What's in the Box?The N3804AB3 stapler, a convenient case for easy transport and storage (885902), a no-mar tip (885969), hose fitting and safety glasses (875769). |
More InformationBecause it uses an 18 gauge narrow crown staple (only a ¼ of an inch across the top) and accepts staples lengths from ½-inches up to 1-1/2-inches – the staple doesn’t leave a huge mark – not much more than the top of a nail head if you were to use a nail in its place. It can also be used for tacking. Staples have excellent hold and are often times more cost effective for the application. This stapler comes complete with a no-mar tip installed that can protect the work surface from marring. It also comes with the hose fitting already factory installed at the rear so it’s ready to go right out of the box. The fitting is angled upwards slightly to help keep the hose away from the user and off the work piece. To load the high capacity solid steel magazine, simply draw the feeder back to lock, set staples over the exposed rail, then release the slider to securely hold the staples in place. The N3804AB3 can hold up to 100 staples for less frequent replenishment. |

There is an old woodworking adage about buying tools..."Cuss once when you buy it or cuss at it every time you use it." (pay the price for a good tool or you will be sorry every time you use the cheap tool).
Take a look at this tool and then other crown staplers. The first thing you will notice is the is a VERY different design. This looks and acts like someone threw out all the old designs and made a better stapler from scratch. It is lightweight, strong, and fast. The external staple track felt a little odd compared to my other air fasteners that have closed slides, but no problems in use. No jams, sinks staples well and keeps on going.
I told someone at work that this wasn't just a tool, but a work of art to behold. It really is a good looking unit. I am looking at the other Hitachi nailers and there appear to be two design paths. Many of the nailers have the same styling as this and the give away is the front release latch for getting to the feed area (used for jams on other tools...not needed so far on this one!). When it is time to buy my next air gun, Hitachi will be the one that all others are judged by before purchase.
Open your wallet, cuss a little at the price, and buy this crown stapler. You will be pleased.
All of that said, this Hitachi stands out from the crowd. The magnesium body is very lightweight, the staple rail is made of metal, it's comfortable to grip and use, it's not terribly loud, ... It's great.
It does fall short of perfect though. My one complaint so far is the depth adjustment knob/wheel. It's placement and function are fine, but it's unfortunately made of plastic and the indents in it aren't deep enough. The first time I tried to adjust it, with clean, dry hands, my fingers were just sliding across it without the thing even turning. I had to use my fingernail the catch the indents. It's not a big enough issue for me to deduct a star though, I'll just take it apart and burn deeper grooves in it or something... All in all, I love this thing.

カプラーは、交換されていて問題無く使用できます。
使い始めの一発目でサイドのプラスチックの飾りが飛んで行きまして失笑してしまいました。ボンドでつけ直しました。
この製品は、5年保証が付いているので(日本使用では、保証無し)通常の使用で5年は、故障しないのかなって思いました。
21mmのボード用で購入しましたが、432のピンは、1本しか入らないので注意が必要です。ボード用のタッカーは、2本入りますよね。
工具通販サイトビルディーさんですべての部品購入可能です。純正フックもありました。
純正以外のフックを付けると付属のケースに入らなくなりました。
この値段でこのクオリティーは、買いだと思います。
通常は平打ち専用の先端形状ですが、グラインダーで斜めに削ることにより
十分フロア打ちに対応できます。
私の場合、グラインダーにオフセット砥石をセットして、
自動回転(ロック)したままひっくり返して、それに鉄砲先端を押し当てて削りました。
最初は安全装置だけ斜めに削りましたが、いまいちしっくりこなかったので
発射口の下端も一緒に斜めに削りました。
注意点としては、その先端の安全装置にいくぶん遊びというか、ガタつきがあるので
慌てて打つと若干狙いより外して、サネの先端を打ってしまうことがあることですかね。
しっかり床板に登って、ぐいっと押し付けて打てばそんなこともありませんが。
合板フロアーを38mmで打つには必要十分の能力がありますし、
フロアステープルの保持力を生かした、ベニヤ張りや、間に合わせの石膏ボード留め
さらに笠木や窓枠の固定など八面六臂の大活躍で、
購入から半年以上たって、必要欠かせざる道具になってしまいました。
追記:使用可能ステープルは4MA線(一般にはフロアーステープル)のみです。
当たり外れはあるのでしょうが、丸二年特に問題なく未だ現役です。
