Product Information

On the other hand, clipped head nails are, in general, easier to fire with a nail gun all day (you don’t tire as much because you need less energy to drive them in even in tighter spaces).

But that does not mean that they’re useless these days- there are jobs you could find these oddly labeled nail sizes useful. We also experienced the occasional jam, but they proved easy to clear and hardly surprising considering the force that the nails are being fired into the surface. These are the finest nails (they’re pretty much pins) and are, for the most part, used to attach super delicate moldings as you wait for the glue to set/cure. For example, there was a time the popular Paslode finishing gun used to some with the standard nose-plate for 16 gauge nails/brads along with an optional nose-plate to shoot 14 gauge nails.

So, we are, in a nutshell, saying that you must specify the collation+angle when it comes to nails for certain projects (here we have concentrated on framing projects).

First impressions were good and it scored highly on the ‘mates will be impressed with this when they look round the shed’ scale. It’s lightweight, fearsomely dangerous (when in the wrong hands) and its looks reminded us somewhat of one of the laser pistols from Star Wars. However, the wife wasn’t overly impressed to see a grown man prancing around the shed reliving desperate battles against hordes of Storm Troopers (she was even less impressed when we asked her to plait her hair into buns and wear a toga pleading “help me Obi Wan”). Indeed, your choice is quite limited when it comes to projects which need the strongest holding power like framing and sheathing. Some fasteners are usually sized in pennies (represented by the D symbol, which is an old way of differentiating nail sizes). It, therefore, follows that they are very ideal if you have projects like base trim (and other large trims) installation.Types of nails for nail guns – Frequently Asked Questions [FAQs] Do all nail guns use the same nails?
