Does it drive smaller nails as well like 1 3/4 stainless for cedar shiding shingles?

It drives 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 coil nails. The depth adjustment on the front may need to be changed slightly when attaching a softer material like cedar shingles and if that isn't enough you can also adjust your air pressure. I doubt you will have any problem with any kind of siding materials using this gun. I professionally install siding and have never had a problem with this gun. I would rate it 5 stars.

I don't see a problem as long as they are a coil nail with a normal sized head as opposed to roofing nails which have a large head. The guns nail tray adjusts for diffrent lengths. I would check hitachis web site for min length on the nails. I have been using 2 1/4"-2 3/8" lengths.

Yes, it will sand away the thickness of your nails. i would take it slowly so you don't sand away too much.

I have the S2-118G2 and have used it with both narrow crown staples and brad nails.

I don't know about all that stuff, I'm new with my nailer so I bought bostitch nails. So far I've used 2 inch and 1 1/4 both are great with no problems. If you ry them the worse case is they jam and you have to get them out, go for it!

Yes, it's a great tool for siding, windows, decks. Doesn't rip or destroy siding or shingles.

Haven't tried anything smaller than 1/8" but I would guess it can handle smaller bits.

It usually depends on on the size of the nail used. If you use 1 inch roofing nails you can expect about 250 per coil.

I used a bostitch that had 150psi max output to drive 16p nails. Setting the output above 100psi. That might be above the rating for this nailer but it worked for me.

I used this nailer on 3/8 inch hardwood flooring (not bamboo) on 3/4 inch subflooring and it worked fine. The only time I had missed nails was when I did not have the nailer properly set before firing. I simply took my time laying the floor and it turned out beautiful.

It worked extremely well with 3/16 1.2 inch aluminum. My guess is if the manual says 1/4 works it will. The tool doesnt seem to be lacking in the power department at all. Its very powerful and solid. Not a single hick up

I would say no.. This guns shoots normal (small) head nails and I typically use roofing nails for installing vinyl siding. You also need to leave the nails loose so the vinyl siding can expand and contract. I think it would be hard to leave the nails loose with any power nailer.

Yes, it will drive all the 1/4 inch hex shank stuff. This is my favorite "driver tool". I highly recommend it.

No. They not that big unless you use the really thin nails. I don't know that names of them.

I don't know why not. I use mine for fiber cement siding and engineered trim. The drive is pretty adjustable so you should be able to back it off to where it won't overdrive the nails.

James, I haven't used mine for cutting the nails you ask about, but 304 stainless has a Rockwell B of about 90-ish, and the cutters are advertised to have a Rockwell C of 64, so from that standpoint aren't a problem. The diameter you refer to - about 1/8" - should clip easily without much effort.

I do not know the answer. I purchased a smaller nailer to handle the finer work..
