Product Description
HiKOKI NR1838DKANC 18V Brushless PPN Metal Connector Nailer Stackable System Case 4 (Body Only)
The HiKOKI NR1838DKANC 18V Brushless PPN Metal Connector Nailer Stackable System Case 4 (Body Only) is a cordless positive placement nailer engineered for fast, accurate fixing of pre-punched metal connectors to timber in professional construction and carpentry. Drawing on HiKOKI's Air Spring Drive System, it delivers a consistent, pneumatic-style driving action without the need for gas cartridges, hoses or compressors, helping to keep the jobsite cleaner and easier to organise. The high-efficiency brushless motor fires up to three nails per second and is optimised for twisted paper-collated nails between 35mm and 38mm, making it ideal for joist hangers, sole plates, connector plates, truss clips and restraint straps. A Strap-Tite probe tip supports precise nail placement through connector holes, while dry-fire lock-out, an integrated LED work light and automatic power shut-down enhance safety and control during extended use. Compatible with HiKOKI 18V and MultiVolt lithium-ion batteries, the NR1838DKANC is supplied as a bare unit complete with a Stackable System Case 4 for secure transport and storage.
