Hitachi Tool Bags: Nailer Carry Bags and Miter Saw Dust Bags

Hitachi built a strong reputation among carpenters for framing nailers and miter saws, and the brand’s power tools are now sold under the name Metabo HPT, with the HiKOKI name used in some markets. That is why a search for a Hitachi tool bag turns up a mix of names. Hitachi itself made dust bags that clip onto its miter saws, and a number of other companies make carry bags sized for popular Hitachi nailers such as the NR83A.
Here is how these four differ in one sentence: two are genuine miter saw dust bags (one labeled Metabo HPT 322955M, the other Hitachi 322955), and two are third-party framing nailer carry bags from KUNN and Superior Parts that are made to fit Hitachi nailers but are not made by Hitachi.

KUNN Framing Nailer Bag with Adjustable
Best for: Carrying a framing nailer to job sites
Pros
- Fits Hitachi NR83A per listing
- Lockable double zipper
- Three extra pockets
- Lifetime warranty on quality issues
Cons
- Third-party bag, not Hitachi-made
The KUNN Framing Nailer Bag with Adjustable shoulder strap is a carry bag, which means it holds and protects the tool while you move it between the truck, the garage and the job. To be clear for gift-givers, it is made by KUNN, not by Hitachi. The listing says it fits any standard-size framing nailer, naming the Hitachi NR83A and the NuMax SFR2190 as examples, so it is a match for anyone who searched for a Hitachi NR83A bag.
The bag measures 22 inches long, 14.5 inches high and 3.5 inches wide. The listing names three extra pockets (two zippered on the outside and one inside) for gun oil, nail strips and wrenches, a lockable double zipper, a hook-and-loop strap inside the main compartment to hold the nailer still, heavy-duty material, sturdy stitching and a reinforced bottom. It is listed as water resistant, comes in khaki, and KUNN states a lifetime warranty on quality issues.
This suits a new framer or a DIYer who just bought a first pneumatic nailer and wants it to stay clean and together with its accessories. If you want a slightly larger bag with a stiff plastic bottom sheet, the Superior Parts H838 below is the alternative.

Metabo HPT Dust Bag for Hitachi
Best for: Owners of listed Hitachi miter saws
Pros
- Genuine Metabo HPT part 322955M
- Long compatibility list
- Zipper for easy emptying
Cons
- Listed dimensions disagree with description
The Metabo HPT Dust Bag for Hitachi miter saws is a genuine replacement part, number 322955M. A dust bag attaches to the dust port at the back of a miter saw and catches sawdust as you cut, keeping the floor and your lungs a little cleaner. The listing says it plainly: same tools, new name, since Hitachi Power Tools renamed itself Metabo HPT.
The feature list names compatibility with models C8FSE, C8FSHE, C10FCE2, C10FCH, C10FCH2, C12FDH, C12LDH, C12RSH and C12RSH2, and the description adds a longer list including C10, C10FCE, C10FSH, C12FCH, C12LCH, C8FB, C8FB2, C8FC, C8FS and the P20ST belt sander. The description also says it replaces dust bag 998845, has a metallic interior support and uses a zipper for emptying. The size is given as about 12 inches long and 5 inches deep, while the specification table says 10.5 by 6 by 2.5 inches, so the two sections do not agree. The table also lists blade and teeth specifications that clearly do not apply to a fabric bag.
Choose this one if your saw’s model number is on either list and you want the genuine Metabo HPT dust bag 322955M. It gives way to the Hitachi-labeled 322955 bag only if you prefer that listing’s simpler description.
H838 Framing Nailer Bag for Extra Room
The H838 23 Inch Wide X 15 inch tall framing nailer bag is made by Superior Parts, another third-party brand, and the listing says it is compatible with the Hitachi NR83A. It is built from washable 600D polyester Oxford fabric. The “600D” number describes the thickness of the threads; higher numbers generally mean a tougher weave.
The listing names strong industrial stitching, an adjustable shoulder strap, a web handle, a plastic sheet reinforcing the inside bottom, and pockets outside and inside for nail strips, Allen wrenches, small tools and accessories. The size is given as 23 inches wide, 15 inches tall and 4 inches wide in the title, but the specification table reads 23 by 23 by 15 inches, so the table looks like an error. The listing does not mention water resistance or a warranty.
This fits someone who carries a framing nailer plus a handful of extra tools and likes a stiffer base. If a lockable zipper and a stated warranty matter more, the KUNN bag is the better choice.
Hitachi 322955 Dust Bag for 10 and 12 Inch Miter Saws

Hitachi 322955 Dust Bag for Hitachi
Best for: Replacing a worn Hitachi miter saw bag
Pros
- Original 322955 part number
- Fits Hitachi 10 and 12 inch miter saws
- Lightweight
Cons
- No exact model list
- 30-day limited warranty
The Hitachi 322955 Dust Bag for Hitachi 10 inch and 12 inch miter saws is listed under the HIKOKI brand name. The listing describes a simple, well-built design made for collecting debris and dust, quick setup, and a 30-day limited warranty. The item dimensions are 10.5 by 3.25 by 2.25 inches and the weight is 1.41 ounces.
Unlike the Metabo HPT listing, this one does not give an exact list of saw model numbers; it only says it fits Hitachi 10 inch and 12 inch miter saws. The description claims the bag will not break or tear, a strong statement you should read as marketing. Like the other dust bag, its specification table contains blade details that do not apply to a bag.
This works for anyone who searched for the Hitachi 322955 dust bag by part number and simply wants a replacement. If you need to confirm your exact model before buying, the Metabo HPT 322955M listing is easier to check.
How to Choose the Right Hitachi Tool Bag
Start with the tool. If you own a miter saw, you need a dust bag, not a carry bag. If you own a framing nailer, you need a carry bag. The two types are not interchangeable, and this is the most common mix-up when someone asks which Hitachi bag do I need.
For a dust bag, find the model number on your saw’s label, usually on the motor housing or base. Compare it with the model list on the Metabo HPT 322955M listing. If your model is there, that is the safest pick. The Hitachi 322955 bag says it fits 10 inch and 12 inch Hitachi miter saws in general.
For a nailer bag, check the size. The KUNN bag is 22 inches long and the Superior Parts bag is about 23 inches wide, so both are designed around full-size framing nailers like the NR83A. Compare security (the KUNN has a lockable zipper) with structure (the Superior Parts has a plastic bottom sheet). A tidy bag pairs well with a well-organized wrench set for adjusting fittings on site.
If you are shopping as a gift, a carry bag is an easy present for someone who just bought a nailer, and a dust bag is a thoughtful add-on for a new miter saw owner. For bigger gifts, our roundup of cordless tool combo kit sets covers starter bundles.
FAQ
Is Hitachi the same as Metabo HPT?
Yes. The Metabo HPT listing states that Hitachi Power Tools was renamed Metabo HPT and that the tools are the same. The HIKOKI name also appears on some Hitachi parts.
Are these nailer bags made by Hitachi?
No. The KUNN and Superior Parts bags are third-party products designed to fit Hitachi framing nailers such as the NR83A. Neither listing claims they are official Hitachi accessories.
What is the difference between the 322955 and 322955M dust bags?
The 322955M is sold as a genuine Metabo HPT replacement with a detailed compatibility list and a zipper. The 322955 listing is branded HIKOKI and says it fits Hitachi 10 and 12 inch miter saws without listing exact models.
Will a framing nailer bag fit other nailers?
The KUNN listing says it fits any standard-size framing nailer. The Superior Parts listing only names the Hitachi NR83A, so compare your nailer’s length with the bag size first.
How do I empty a miter saw dust bag?
The Metabo HPT 322955M has a zipper so you can open it and shake the dust out. The Hitachi 322955 listing does not describe how it empties.
