what sizes of nails can be used with this nailer
311903
I have personally run framing nail sizes from 2 1/2" to 3 1/2". It may stretch a bit more than that.

I have been shooting 2's, 2 1/4's and 3" without any issues and I believe it goes up to 3 1/2"

I would go with a larger 18 gauge nailer. I owned this gun for a little less than a year before it gave up and died. I wouldn't buy it again.

I have not use for any brad nails yet, but I believe its can, because its said can use for brad nails up to 2"

I've used 3" 10d nails, the nailer worked great. My advice is to start the nail first manually then use the nailer, otherwise the nail wanders before it bites into the wood.

Not sure. Here is the link to the nails that I used in this nailer. They can be purchased at Home Depot. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Bostitch-2-in-Leg-16-Gauge-Galvanized-Steel-Flooring-Cleats-1-000-Pack-FLN-200/100178451?N=5yc1vZc2d8

I am unsure what a pin nailer might be. It must be a regional term. Brads, I guess could be called "pin-nails" It will handle 18 guage brads from 3/8" to 2 inches. Mine is a fantastic machine that is easily unjammed should one occur and has very few misfires. Hope this helps

Brad nailer and pin nailed may shoot nails with the same nail shank size like 18 gage but the pin nailer nail has no nail head (pin). It's use leaves a smaller nail hole but has less longtatudinal (in the direction of the axis of the nail) holding strength.

If you do a search for the Bostitch framing nailer you will see that is requires 28 deg. I ended up buying Bostitch nails just to be safe but any manufacturer that makes them in 28 deg will work.

I purchased the nails from a local supplier. The gun uses standard nails. I'm sure Home Depot or Lowes carries the nails for this type of nail gun.

I used Bostitch 3 1/4 X 0.120 28 degree wire weld framing nails which I purchased from Home Depot or Lowes. The magazine holds 100 nails, which helps reduce the number of times you need to stop and reload. I probably used about 1500 nails and never had any problems. I suspect other 28 degree wire weld nails would also work, but the local store carried Bostitch so I used them.

I use the Bostitch 28deg. wire nails. 2"-3 1/2" work. Very common nail to find. Every lumber yard or big box store (home depot, etc.) carry them

21-degree nails ranging in size from 2 to 3-1/2 inches, they have a plastic mold over the nails to hold the clip togeather. any big box home improvement store has them, or get them when you get the gun. like this Freeman FR.113-2GRS 2-Inch by .113-Inch Plastic Collated Galvanized Ring Shank Framing Nail, 2000 Per Box or this Freeman FR.131-3GRS 3-Inch by .131-Inch Plastic Collated Galvanized Ring Shank Framing Nails, 2000 Per Box

The 2 1/2" nailer is made for 16 ga. nails, the other nailer is an 18 ga. nailer and this is the one you would use with the supplied finish nails. The 2 1/2" model will accommodate any 16 ga. nails up to 2 1/2", they do not have to necessarily be that length though. I believe your nail shank diameter (gauge) need to match the nailer but please refer to the documentation that came with it.

Suppose you could. It's really a trim nailer. Nails are thin and have very small heads.

The size varies from image to image. So they will fit any nail shape and size. I do recommend getting a double sided stamper so you can use both the larger and smaller images with more ease.
