Can I use this nail gun to attach drywall to studs?

The nails do not have heads. Not recommended for dry wall. Use screws or a nailer which uses bigger head nails and adjustable air pressure so not to damage the drywall. I would use screws with a drill.

No, this is a finish nailer. I would use screws whenever possible as nails always back out

I agree with Ramiro and Patrick. The nails that this gun shoots are very small headed. The Dry Wall would pull off of them like they were not there. The nails you should use are cup head drywall nails. When you drive them in be careful to dimple but not tear the drywall. Another choice are sheetrock screws, use a drill attachment for putting them in for proper depth control.

I think Mr Andrews answer is correct in that you would either lose a lot of space or have a pile of hard to access firearms to deal with. I would however recommend that this much weight never be supported by drywall alone and given the spacing of the holes, you will only be able to catch one stud. As G.D. recommended, look for one that designed for vertical mounting. Go to the Fort Knox web site for starters. They have at least one model that is designed to be used vertically.

Yes. mounting on two metal studs will be fine. Three studs are preferable. Use toggle or snap toggle bolts rated to hold the appropriate amount of weight. Most 3/16" snap toggle bolts will hold over 200 lbs. 1/4" bolts are recommended. Use a third set of bolts in the drywall where there is no stud for added support. See this video for snap toggle bolts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SC1ZuxuZ2PU

Yes it will. Make sure you are drilling on wood stud or something that can hold the weight. Drywall won't be able to hold it.

I actually did that project a few months ago with this set. I had no problems anchoring drywall inyo studs. Personally, I'd use the impact driver but the other drill works fine.

Yes, the hooks are strong and heavy, and as mentioned, just be certain that your stud is solid, and not the drywall screws.

I would think so. Be sure to secure it firmly to the wall. I only used plain little nails in each grommet on the top into a regular drywall type of wall - no studs, no anchors. I keep packs of construction paper, tissue paper, stickers and coloring books in ours and its been good. Hope that helps.

It's best of you put it into a stud. Putting anything into drywall only can be pulled out easy. Like when you hang a picture and its not in a stud, you can move the nail in and out with your hand. I put mine on a porch so it was mounted on a wooden beam.

yes but you must use the correct length of screws and anchors, e.g., toggles. You can't screw directly into drywall.

The nail gun would work, but the brads wouldn't be strong enough. Fences can take quite a battering and be subjected to large forces (wind, earthquake, people etc). I wouldn't use 18 guage brads for this. In fact I wouldn't use finishing nails either - framing nails would be the better option and they should be galvanised or stainless.

I don't see why it couldn't . I used the N66-1 to install Hardi board siding(cement board) I used 1 5/8 ringed nails , the nailer performed very well. The depth setting worked well. Light weight of the gun is a big plus. ;-D

It would shoot a staple through them I am sure, but it would be a small gauge fastener. I don't believe it would be quite the same strength and holding power as a nail. I'm not an engineer, just an opinion.

I don't think so, I just use mine for nail guns. Painting takes quite a bit of compressor use, as does an impact gun, etc.

Hello Yes these will work Here is a small hint with this do not hit the nail gun super hard you will screw up your flooring this is with all floor nail guns it screws up the edge of wood and you don't see it until you look from across the room these nails are great don't try and pull wood up after you nail it down I put 3 nails every 1.5ft I make sure this is never going to move or come up Harbor freight sells a floor kit that will be good to get too has spacers and a pull bar get that too Dan

I don't have experience with finishing or framing nails, but this nail gun handles only nails with slim tops. Thus, it would be unlikely to hold a board in place against forces trying to dislodge it. This Dewalt gun might work if the only requirement is to position a board without regard to holding it in place.

No way it would work unless you aren't planning to actually store anything inside. No need to drill into the studs because the material the cabinet is made from is basically cardboard that has been glued together. The drywall itself is probably 10-15x stronger than the cabinet.

yes and no. work only when you have located a drywall nail in a stud then you can go from there every 16 inches.
