HiKOKI Power Tools has unveiled a new video showcasing the capabilities of its latest innovation, the NR1890DCA Brushless Framing Nailer. The NR1890DCA is the latest addition to HiKOKI’s high-performance cordless nailer range, delivering outstanding power and precision for first fix applications.

The video, now live on HiKOKI’s digital platforms and featuring Dave Finnegan from Elwood Enterprises, demonstrates the nailer’s superior driving force, exceptional battery life and innovative Air Drive Technology, a feature that eliminates the need for gas cartridges, reducing running costs and maintenance while ensuring consistent performance in all weather conditions.

Jon Peters, Product Manager for HiKOKI Power Tools, said: “The NR1890DCA is a game-changer for professionals who rely on a powerful, efficient and low-maintenance first fix nailer. Our latest video brings the tool to life, demonstrating its impressive speed, reliability and ease of use. The cordless design, coupled with our Air Drive Technology, means there’s no need for gas canisters, fewer breakdowns and more time working efficiently on-site.”

The NR1890DCA Brushless Framing Nailer is built to meet the toughest demands of modern construction. Traditional gas-powered nailers often suffer from inconsistent firing, costly gas refills and performance drops in colder temperatures. HiKOKI’s Air Drive Technology removes these issues, using compressed air to drive each nail with precision and consistency.

This gas-free operation eliminates the need for expensive and messy gas cartridges, reducing ongoing costs and preventing gas-related performance issues. The tool delivers up to 1,000 nails per charge on a single Multi Volt battery, ensuring long-lasting performance on-site. Its brushless motor provides increased durability, lower maintenance and extended run times. Users can switch between sequential and bump fire modes, allowing for quick adaptation to different applications and its tool-free depth adjustment ensures precision placement of nails.

The second-generation NR1890DCA has also shed a hefty 450g compared to its predecessor and has a well balanced, comfy grip so it’s built for all-day use. Faster, lighter and with more power, this first-fix nailer reduces strain so you can work comfortably for longer.

At the heart of HiKOKI Power Tools’ new 36V cordless rotary hammer drill is an impact energy of 9.2J, enabling it to perform drilling and demolition tasks faster than other tools in its category.

Weighing just 6.1kg, the hammer drill reduces the strain on operators, allowing for longer periods of use. It is compatible with HiKOKI’s Multi Volt battery system and boasts an efficient brushless motor.

A feature of the Hammer Drill is HiKOKI’s UVP technology. With a low vibration level at only 10.3m/s², this is complemented by the LVH which provides an optimal grip, reducing the risk of fatigue.

The hammer drill incorporates RFC, designed to prevent twisting of the main unit, protecting the tool from potential damage, and safeguarding the operator.

In ‘hammering’ mode, the trigger lock allows for continuous operation without the need to manually hold the trigger. Constant speed control delivers additional power to the motor to maintain speed under load.

The hammer drill’s variable speed control allows users to adapt the speed according to specific applications. This feature, along with four different speed modes, enables precise control.

Enhancing visibility in low-light conditions, the tool’s LED light ensures accuracy and safety. Additionally, the drill is packaged with a side handle and a robust injection case.

Kevin Rowles, Sales and Marketing Director at HiKOKI Power Tools, explores the dynamic shift towards cordless power tools, fuelled by advancements in battery and motor technology.

Cordless power tools now outsell their corded equivalents and look set to continue this trend for many years to come. In 2022, for instance, the sales of cordless power tools in the professional power tools market in the UK accounted for 81.1%, while corded tools made up just 18.9%, when as recently as 2018, the distribution between corded and cordless power tools was approximately 50-50 according to the European Power Tool Association.

The reasons for this growth are numerous. Cordless tools offer users an unparalleled freedom of movement, enabling wholesaler customers to work in environments where mains power may be impractical or restricted. This portability is particularly crucial in large construction sites, where the need to move swiftly between tasks demands tools that can keep up with the pace.

Extended use on site

One of the significant drivers of cordless tool popularity is the rapid advancement in battery technology. Lithium-ion batteries, in particular, have become the powerhouse behind cordless tools. These batteries boast higher energy density, longer lifecycles, and lighter weight compared to traditional alternatives. This makes cordless tools not only more powerful but also more practical for extended use on the job site.

Despite the benefits of mains-powered tools, certain construction sites enforce restrictions on their use. These limitations arise from safety concerns, logistical challenges, and the need for greater adaptability. Large construction sites, especially those in the initial stages of development, may lack a reliable and widespread power supply. This makes the use of cordless tools, powered by rechargeable batteries, a more viable option for maintaining workflow efficiency.

Moreover, the presence of multiple trades on a construction site can lead to a scarcity of available power outlets. The need for various tools and equipment makes the flexibility offered by cordless options indispensable. Additionally, safety concerns related to trailing cables, especially in busy and congested sites, further accentuate the advantages of cordless power tools.

Batteries

Lithium-ion batteries have become the backbone of cordless power tools, driving efficiency and performance to new heights. These batteries are characterised by their high energy density, low self-discharge rates, and lightweight design. This combination of features ensures that construction professionals can enjoy longer operating times, reduced downtime for recharging, and less fatigue from handling heavy tools.

The ability of lithium-ion batteries to maintain a consistent power output until fully depleted sets them apart from traditional alternatives, ensuring that users experience reliable performance throughout the battery’s lifecycle. As the demand for longer runtimes and quicker recharge times increases, the continued innovation in lithium-ion battery technology will be a key driver of advancements in cordless power tools.

Brushless motors

Brushless motors represent another milestone in power tool technology, offering increased efficiency, durability, and reduced maintenance requirements. Unlike traditional brushed motors, brushless motors operate without physical contact between brushes and the rotor, minimising friction and wear. This leads to a longer lifespan and enhanced overall performance of the power tool.

The efficiency gains of brushless motors also translate into more power output for a given size and weight, contributing to the lightweight and compact design of modern cordless tools. This efficiency not only extends the runtime of cordless tools but also makes them competitive with their mains-powered counterparts, bridging the gap between the two and providing construction professionals with versatile options for their varied needs.

If we take nailers as an example of the transformation cordless has brought to this product sector, the advantages are stark. Nailers are a staple in construction, and the transition from corded or gas-powered models to cordless variants has been a game-changer. Cordless nailers, equipped with lithium-ion batteries and efficient brushless motors, offer performance on par with their mains-powered counterparts. This shift addresses longstanding concerns regarding the limitations of cordless tools in terms of power and reliability.

Electrical wholesalers have a significant opportunity to capitalise on the growing demand for cordless power tools, a market trend that shows no signs of slowing down. By stocking up on cordless power tools and related accessories, wholesalers can position themselves as one-stop shops for all their customers’ power tool needs.
