(In Canada), used Prime Fasteners nails: 3.0", galvanized, spiral, full head, for an outdoor shed. Worked just fine; no jams

I carried the gun to the supply house and they gave me the correct nails. I would not buy this gun again because of the multiple safety problems. simply not needed an over kill that is extremely time wasting. I bought this gun for the name. Sorry I did.

the 31 degrees is the angle the nails are in the clip.. when u buy nails u want to buy the nails that can be shot from your gun. so this gun uses 31 degrees nail clips... the clipped head means the nails are not full round headed nails... i got this gun off amazon and just used it to frame 1350sq ft full remodel basement. no problems.. Used 2 boxes of 2000 nails.. about $36 a box 31 degree clipped head from home depot.. lowes doesnt carry them fyi.. love it!

I have used the nails in the assortment at http://www.amazon.com/P6-MP-3-Gauge-Multi-Pack-Headless/dp/B0012BV21W/ref=pd_bxgy_hi_text_y The 1/2" seems to work without any problems.

The standard for finger nail clippers are 3/8" and toe nails 1/2" I have a box full of all types and makes since 1952, and measured those just for you. An 1/16 of an inch here there shouldn't make much difference, the cutting edge and it's longevity is where the emphasis should lay.

I really don't know which is better. You will probably get used to either. What I looked for was whether I would be able to buy the nails for the gun I selected, cheaply and readily available. If you go to Lowes or Home Depot and they have a large stock of 30 degree nails then that tells me that the contractors are using the 30 degree nails more and you should too. Go with what most of the gun manufacturers are using. Don't go with an odd ball type. Your gun won't be any good if you can't find nails for it in the future. Hope that helps you. Also, I really liked the Porter-Cable. It performed well, was good priced, and the nails are cheap and available. I really don't know which is better. You will probably get used to either.

If you have thick toe nails I can suggest Mehaz toenail nippers. It works great on thick toe nails.

Hint: for a 2" nail, keep all fingers 3" away from whatever you're nailing. Perhaps hire a contractor.

Use standard nails for nail guns from any hardware supplier... nothing special. I like this gun.

I have personally run framing nail sizes from 2 1/2" to 3 1/2". It may stretch a bit more than that.

I use the 120 and 240 grit. Remember the higher the grit number the smoother the nail will be and the less likely it will split and crack.

From Hitachi web site, the tool is 35 degree. A difference of 2 degree is good for the nails. The Hitachi nails that i use are 33 degree. Pastlode nails with round head and 30 degree don't work with this Hitachi tool, i have try it.

18 Gauge only. From 5/8" to 2" length nail size. If you need a 16 Gauge nail gun here is the link on that one (Never use a 16 gauge): DEWALT D51257K 1-Inch to 2-1/2-Inch 16 Gauge Finish Nailer

The N62FNK-2 15 Gauge. will hold 130 nails (1.25inches to 2.5 inches in length). So you can do a lot of nailing without reloading.
