Need a nailer to replace (hard) oak boards on horse pasture fences. Would this nailer do the trick or is there something better?

The nailer would be useful on fencework as you don't have to drag a compreessor,however bear in mind if you are nailing into any material that has"spring" the nails will not drive right home.If you are driving in 2 inch it should be ok. but you will have trouble at 3 inch

It would likely do fair, however depending how many boards you need to fasten. Star drive deck screws driven by impact cordless driver might serve you better. A 20V cordless impact can do an amazing amount of work plus a screw can be with-drawn if needed whereas impulse driven nails are much harder to dislodge. I use my impact driver much more often than my impulse nailer. I own and use two Paslodes and one Bostich gas nailer, very handy tools indeed. Just another opinion.

The paslode has the best punch. Make sure you take spare gas cylinders with you. I've used mine on routine framing and I am satisfied. Much more portable than an air gun. You can adjust the power of the punch to nail through your oak boards.

It should be perfect for this type of application; I know of nothing better, also there are many options for types of nails, i.e., ringshank, stainless, coated, etc.

This nailer would work as long as you don't work too fast in warm weather. At normal temperatures the gun overheats after only a few nails.

Actually this was my first nail gun and I haven't even used it yet. it takes a decent size nail. So I believe it should be ok for your needs, maybe first look at the nail to judge for yourself. I wish I could be of more help but perhaps google it for more definitive answer

I used this nailer to install Hardiplank siding. Its too powrful for vinyl siding. Personally, I wouldn't install vinyl siding on a storage building, much less a house.

I purchased this nailer to install bamboo hardware flooring. Never did hardwood floor but it worked well and I was pleased with the performacne of the tool. The angle function is really just a couple of 1/2 nylon shims that attached to the head not really a mechanical adjustment. So if you need precise nail angles, this may not be the tool to use. The nailer function worked well but not use to using a air nailer you need to lift the head high enough for the safety to reset. By the way if you buy this gun get a range of nails, cuz when I set my floor I used a nail that really was longer then I needed. I hope I answered your question.

I have used it for light work such as applying fence to rail. Good little gun. For fencing a staple gun could be as good or better. I have used this a lot and it is a good gun.

I have one and used it to staple in hardwood oak flooring. My flooring was 1/2" by 1.5". I used the Senco 1/4" by 1" staples (18 gauge) and never had a single problem. For the money, and ease of use, this nailer/stapler did the job perfectly! I did some research beforehand, as to which was better and held better- nails or staples. Staples hold better than nails

I used the compressor and nailer to install baseboards and they worked well. If you need a straight nailer, this should do the job. However, if you're installing tongue and groove flooring, I would think you would want an angle nailer designed for that task.

It will probably meet your needs. I've used it for baseboards and kitchen trim/moulding and it's worked well. I've also used it to throw together temporary or rough projects, and it does the job. For thicker wood I use a 16 gauge brad nailer for the added strength. The nice thing about the 18 gauge brads is that they leave a very small hole to patch. I have two Porter Cable nailers, and have had no problems with them.

This is a finish nailer. You are going to want a framing nailer and use ring shank galvanized nails. Check out the bostitch f28ww

Not quite sure if you're using a power tool or hand saw? But, either way - llke most jobs using saw horses. They are used to lay your material on - you'll need your free hand to stabilize the lumber

Hi, I found the disk on this device to be unforgiving. If you practice on a test piece of wood first, you will see how quickly it takes down the finish and the wood. This should indicate how you should proceed. I used it on exterior shingles and it can really gouge the wood if you're not careful.

Hello Friend, This floor nail gun, is good for engineering flooring materials which is similar as plywood. I can call it as softwood. This gun uses 18GA staples so it is not hard/strong enough to pass thru solid hardwood materials and in a special case such as hardwood plank is bend, 18GA staples nail is not strong enough to hold the board. I recommend you use BOSTITCH MIIIFS.

This unit is only good for nail maintenance. You would need a stronger unit to do that.

The Freeman PFBC940 4 in 1 will shoot 18 gauge staples or brads but not nails or cleats. I used it on engineered hardwood with staples (recommended by the manufacturer). Check with your brand of strand bamboo and see what they recommend. Good luck with your progect and I hope this was helpful.

It doesn't shoot any nails; it acts like a hammer. I've used it for framing 10d - 16d (.131" - .162") and didn't have any problems. I don't think it'll (properly) drive finishing nails or the like, but I presume this tool is made to drive .121" and larger nails.

It will but it is going to recycle allot, maybe after every 2 or 3 shots. Nail penetration will depend on what kind of wood. Oak is denser than pine. A 3 gal compressor would work better and drive longer and thicker nails but for small jobs and infrequent use it will do You could also check out Harbor Freight.

I only used it for poison oak with maybe 1/4" thickness at most. 1" would definitely be a struggle, better off with a pole saw for that....
