The October 15 announcement is an award update, rather than a new launch. HiKOKI reports a 2026 Good Design Award for the NC1840DA cordless concrete nailer, which it says went on sale on January 20, 2026.
Read the product conditions alongside the award
HiKOKI describes an air-spring mechanism that does not use gas cartridges. Its current product table specifies plastic-collated nails 15–40 mm long. These are manufacturer descriptions; we have not tested the tool.
For battery care before use, the product page tells users to charge the battery sufficiently before first use or use immediately after unpacking. The maker also warns that low-voltage detection can stop operation even while the charge indicator still shows power. These instructions provide context beyond the award announcement, without promising a particular real-world runtime.
