This nailer uses brads. The head of the brad is rectangular. I have found this to be an excellent tool that is both durable and reliable. I hope this helps.

Yes just adjust the depth of nail because cedar is a soft wood you don't want the nail to go in to deep. This fun has worked perfect for me has shot every nail works great

Sorry for the delayed response. This particular gun shoots plastic, non-clipped nails.

This gun uses several different sizes of hitachi nails. I used some 2 1/4", 3" and 3 1/2" in my deck project. The gun worked flawlessly. Importantly, though, is the level of you expertise, the size of your air tank, etc. to adequately answer your query. On first thought, yes; however experience level could mitigate that.

Nails only. I would not recommend any dual purpose gun. They are usually not great at either application.

I have only used the nails recommended by the manufacturer and they perform perfectly. I would not recommend using a nail other than those specified by the manufacturer. Why risk potentially damaging the gun, voiding the warranty or getting hurt. You should purchase a nail gun that is made for the nail you intend to use.

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.

Yes, you can set the gun to fire 1 nail at a timeNo, there is no guide for nail placementIts been a great siding nail gun

Mine fires two-inch nails perfectly. No problems. You might want to contact Senco, see what they advise.

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.

15 ° 300 per coil 2-1/2" x .092 Hitachi nails work great. Shoot ring shank as well as smooth. Use smooth shank if shooting on hardiboard cement siding. Gun is very similar to the Hitachi siding gun. I like both guns. Home Depot sells, in-store, the 2-1/4 ring shank Hitachi nails.

Yes but it will still shoot at an angle. I would recommend purchasing a staple gun designed for straight on operation.

Mine didnt use any nails at all. It was dead on arrival. I had to go rent one to complete my project.

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.

Sorry, the DA nails can not be used. The angle and head style is different than those used in Bostitch guns. The DA's have a half round head. The Bostitch nails have a "T" head. The DA nails fit Senco, Dewalt, Hitachi and Porter Cable. The FN style fit Bostitch and a few private label guns............... Not to start a war BUT, I've always been able to get Bostich nails locally, wherever I'm working.

Carla,"FC" is for Clipped head nails"FR" is for round head nailsThe new nail guns will work with both based on the angle of the nails in the strips.Hope this helps.
