Who manufactures Northern Industrial Tools nail guns?

Question

Does one of the large manufacturers like porter cable make nail guns for Northern Industrial Tool? If not them who does make them? I am curious if they have good framing nailers because the price is certainly better then most companies.

Answer 1

Most nail guns--in fact, most tools--are manufactured in China and simply painted with different colors to represent different retailers. For example, 12" planers are virtually all made by the same plant, but Dewalt, Jet, Delta et al are simply the same machine with different colors. Try Bostich or Hilti if you want quality.
