High-Capacity Magazine Saves Time
The N5008AC is equipped with a high-capacity magazine that holds up to 150 staples. Not only does this magazine save time by allowing for fewer staple refills, but its open design lets you easily keep an eye on the staple level. And for increased efficiency during operation, Hitachi equipped the N5008AC with a quick-clear jam release.

The N5008AC's magazine is built using tough, lightweight plastic--it even has stainless steel plating on top for durability. The magazine accepts 16-gauge standard crown staples from one to two inches in length, although Hitachi recommends using the following sizes: 7/16 x 1-1/2 inches, 7/16 x 1-3/4 inches, and 7/16 x 2 inches.

Dual Firing Modes for Versatility
The N5008AC uses a straight firing angle that operates at 70-120 psi. There are two firing options: intermittent or continuous. Intermittent firing allows you to fire using the trigger, while the continuous firing option allows you to fire staples continuously along the workpiece using a bouncing motion.

Adjustable Depth of Drive for Precision
The N5008AC features depth of drive that is easy to adjust with the included hex bar wrench. This feature gives you the ability to countersink staples and select the right depth for the job.

Designed for Comfort and Efficiency
At just 4.4 pounds and featuring a well-balanced design, the N5008AC allows for easy one-handed operation without loss of precision. Its soft rubber grip provides extended comfort for all-day jobs, such as roof decking, subflooring, and modular home construction.

The Hitachi N5008AC Standard Crown Stapler measures 14-3/8 x 3 x 10 inches (LxWxH). It features a 1/4-inch air inlet, and it takes in air at a rate of 0.040 cubic feet/cycle at 100 psi. It is compatible with Hitachi's Sequential Trip Mechanism Kit (sold separately), which is ideal for precision fastener placement.

The N5008AC is backed by a five-year limited warranty.

What's in the Box
N5008AC Stapler, safety glasses, and hex bar wrench.
For such a light gun, this one really gets the job done. It's just a bit more than 4 pounds, but it feels even lighter than that in hand because, we assume, of Hitachi's famous design and engineering. Equipped with a contact trip mechanism, it fires as fast as you can go, but you can pick up the optional sequential trigger if you need it. The magazine holds a robust 150 staples, and that means less downtime for reloading. We like the open magazine design, because you can see at just a glance if you're running low on fasteners. Not that we've ever fired blanks...

We couldn't get this gun to jam, but the clearing process is fast and simple: Just release the lock latch, open the blade guide, free the jam with a screwdriver and close the latch. Done. There's a nice clean depth-of-drive adjustment, but it isn't tool-free, so users may prefer controlling that with air pressure. It's a hardworking, trouble-free, rugged gun that will last for years.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste
