Will this gun reliably shoot 1 3/4 inch wire collated nails? I want to use it with the NailPro stainless nails

It will jam with the wire collated nails. If your careful not to double shoot you're ok.

I have owned this nailer for over a year now. It has fired over 8,000 1 3/4 inch Bostich coil nails for me. It jammed once! Great gun for the price.

Shouldn't be a problem. It clearly states that it will fire 1 3/4" nails that are wire collated. Just double check your angle and diameter.

It should as long as they are siding nails and not the roofing nails with the larger head. I use mostly 2 inch nails with mine. The only problem I had is that it does jam every once in a while. I found that the jamming has more to do with the coiled nails being tangled (tip of the nail gets caught behind the wire coil for the next inside coil) and less to do with the gun. It also seemed to drive the nail in farther if you bump shoot instead of trying to press the safety tip in and holding it still.

No problem. I've used it on 3/8" thick siding with great results along with heavy framing and metal connectors. I've found on the 1 1/2 - 2" nails you will need to turn your pressure down to about 50 psi and then ajust it up until you get the right penetration. I would suggest that if this is the only application you will be using this on, get a lighter gun. If you want an all purpose gun, this is the one to get.

I use mostly generic coil nails in mine. Not sure of the angle but what shoots in the other nailer seems to work fine in this one.

Sounds like you need to exchange it. I haven't had that problem with mine. I have found that this gun works best with 1 1/4" nails. Anything longer and it starts having problems sinking nails.

I am not 100% sure, but my flooring was 3/8" and the nailer is adjustable to the thickness of the floor so it should be no problem.

I frame houses for a living. I've used this gun and previous version for going on a decade. The metal connector shoots any standard 21 degree nail .131 through .148 thickness by 1 1/2'' through 2 3/8'' length. In other words you don't need ''metal connector nails'' . The metal connector does not shoot gun 16s.

This IS a finishing nailer, just electric-powered not air-powered. It can definitely power a nail through a 3/4" fir or pine slat, which I assume your fence is. My only caveat is the nails that come with the nailer are not coated. I'm not sure if they sell stainless or aluminum nails for this gun. If not, you'll have to do a good job filling and sealing the hole so you don't get rust bleeding down your fence.

I wouldn't, even though it probably could be used. This model of nailer drives 16 gauge wire nails, or finish nails. They have very small heads that would drive too far into the material. It would be better to use the construction grade nailer which drives nails with larger, flatter heads. The 8 penny equivalent nail should be used for sheathing like 1/2" OSB.

This nail gun only shoots 18 gauge nails. I do think it would heavy enough for a outside fence. The gun is great for inside trim work. You would have better success with larger galvanized nails which will not rust. I think a larger finishing nailer would be better.

This nailer will shoot 3-1/2" framing nails like a boss but I've even used it for cement board siding which can be quite delicate. So yes, it's adjustable and you'll be able use it for the project you listed.

My Senco nails did not work in this gun. My guess is that Bostitch made the gun so you need special Bostitch nails to use in it. They are fairly priced, so I have not concerned myself with what angle the gun is. It is a great gun that satisfactory replaced a 40 year old Senco SFN II that has probably shot over a million nails.

I would not recommend it unless u are using stencils and not fine detail work. This gun is made to do its best work at a higher psi than the plastic guns. So in order to use this gun for nails the pressure would be to low and you wouldnt get the nice paint spray but a kinda runny drip.

I wouldnt. Nails are very thin. It will hold it in place but you need thicker nails that would come out of a gas powered gun. This is more for crown molding.

Yes. We've face-nailed and blind-nailed over 230 sq/ft of 3/4" with a gun similar to this one. Just be careful when face nailing to make sure you are far enough from the edges, as being too close when shooting the nails could split the end.

I used it with a 3" framing nailer and 3/4" brad nailer. Didn't have any problems.

The gun will not fire loaded or unloaded unless the seating mechanism at the tip of the gun is depressed. Any questions call Ray @ 860-485- 5644. Be careful these nail guns are powerful

I put 1 1/4 inch nails in the finish nailer and they did not fit correctly. Ended up jamming the nailer.
