The HiKOKI NR1838DKA is a cordless 18V brushless metal connector nailer built specifically for fixing joist hangers, truss clips, and timber connectors. It drives twisted shank nails up to 38mm, and at around 9x faster than manual nailing or screw-fixing, it transforms structural timber assembly from a slow, repetitive slog into a production task.

The air-spring drive system means no gas cartridges, no fumes, and consistent performance in cold weather. The slim nose profile reaches into tight joist and truss spaces where bulkier nailers can't fit, and the Strap-Tite probe tip helps position the tool accurately on connector holes before firing.

This DKAJXZ kit includes two MultiVolt batteries (2.5Ah at 36V / 5.0Ah at 18V), charger, and carry case. Up to 850 nails per charge on a 5.0Ah battery.
