HiKOKI Launches Cordless Nailers Matching Pneumatic Power for Europe

Stuttgart – September 09, 2026 -- HiKOKI, part of KOKI Group, unveiled a new generation of cordless nailers for Europe that eliminate gas cartridges, hoses and compressors while matching pneumatic-tool firing speed and driving force. The three-model lineup will reach independent tool distributors from November 2026, with pricing and configurations varying by country.

New drive system delivers pneumatic-level force without external air lines

The platform runs on HiKOKI's Air Spring Drive System Plus, which stores and releases compressed air inside the tool itself. Combined with brushless motors and MultiVolt battery technology, the system enables trigger response times of 43 milliseconds -- the fastest among non-pneumatic nailers and roughly half that of the nearest cordless competitor.

HiKOKI Launches Cordless Nailers Matching Pneumatic Speed, No Gas or Hose

Stuttgart – September 08, 2026 -- HiKOKI, a KOKI Group company, has unveiled a next-generation cordless nail gun platform for the European market that delivers pneumatic-level firing speed without gas cartridges, hoses or compressors, with full availability planned for November 2026.

New Air Spring Drive System Plus doubles firing frequency versus prior generation

The platform's core technology, HiKOKI's Air Spring Drive System Plus, stores and releases compressed air directly inside the tool, combining an optimized drive mechanism with tabless battery technology. According to Bernd Fleischmann, Chief Technology Officer of KOKI Group, the system doubles shot frequency compared to the previous generation by pairing the established air-spring architecture with a new stroke mechanism.

HiKOKI Launches Cordless Nailers Matching Pneumatic Tool Speed

Stuttgart – September 08, 2026 -- HiKOKI, a member of the KOKI Group, unveiled a new generation of cordless framing nailers for the European market that fire up to 5.0 nails per second while eliminating hoses, compressors and gas cartridges entirely.

New nailers match pneumatic output without external air supply

The lineup's core NR1890DCB framing nailer delivers up to 4.5 nails per second, rising to 5.0 nails per second when paired with a cordless MultiVolt battery. Trigger response time is 43 milliseconds -- the fastest among non-pneumatic nailers and roughly half the response time of the closest cordless competitor, according to HiKOKI. Most cordless and gas-powered nailers currently manage only two to three nails per second.

Metabo HPT Launches Cordless Pneumatics Category for Framing Pros

Braselton, Ga. – September 08, 2026 -- Metabo HPT, a KOKI Group company, has introduced Cordless Pneumatics, a first-of-its-kind nailer category for North America that delivers pneumatic firing speed of up to six nails per second without hoses or compressors.

New nailer line eliminates compressor setup that costs framers roughly 150 hours annually

The company estimates crews spend as much as 45 minutes per day on compressor setup, hose management and teardown, equal to roughly 150 hours per year per framer, or nearly four weeks of lost productivity. Removing that equipment burden is central to the new category's pitch to professional framing crews facing tighter schedules and persistent labor shortages.
