Can anyone confirm whether this nailer takes 21 or 22 degree nails, s there have been conflicting comments on Amazon reviews.

I have used Hitachi Exterior 2 in. X .113 in. 21 degree round head nails and Grip Rite Galvanized 2-3/8 in. x .113 in. 21 degree round head nails in mine and they worked great.

I use 21 degree round head nails and haven't had one jam or any other problems.

It does not matter. Either 21 degree or 22 degree nails will work just fine. This nailer has about a 3 degree tolerance on nail angle. Use either 21 or 22 degree nails - you won't be able to tell the difference. If you still have doubts, call porter cable customer service, they will telly you the same thing. p.s. buy this nailer! it works great!!

I have just gone through the entire manual and can not find anything that says weather it is at 35 or 21 degrees.... sorry! But, the nails I use in the gun are as follows and are the cheapest in the hardware store (BUNNINGS) where I am in Australia. "DUO-FAST" STRIP NAILS S3.1 x 75 plastic collated. Box of 3000. Reorder code D30500. I have checked on the nail box as well and there is nothing on there either as to the degrees they are set at. I hope this helps... :)

I have always used the 30 degree framing nailer and am very happy with them. I guess it is a matter of preference.

I'm sorry, I really have no idea. I have not used it as a nailer, only for driving in tent pegs.

The framing nailer and finish nailer will use the same degree nail as the nail gun. For the framing nailer that is 21 degree nails up to 3 1/2 inches long. They can be either full or partial head. The finish nailer uses a 34 degree angle nail, and I believe the length goes up to 2 3/4. The brad nailer uses 18 gauge brads up to 1 1/4 inches, and the stapler uses 18 gauge staples up to 1 1/4 inches. As far as the brand goes that does not matter as long as it is the correct angle or gauge for the gun being used

I use the grip-rite 21 degree nails from home depot , work great in this gun.

I believe that all Paslode Framing nailers are and have been 30 degrees. When I bought my first Paslode Impulse framer way back in the late 1980's, both pneumatic and Impulse used the same nail and the same is true through today's Paslode Framing nailers. Hope this helps.

I have used one to two inch nails. I believe the nailer could handle anything down to one fourth inch.

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

I purchased the nails from a local supplier. The gun uses standard nails. I'm sure Home Depot or Lowes carries the nails for this type of nail gun.

If I remember correctly, all Paslode Framing Nailers take a 30 degree nail strip. I remember discussions of how Paslode makes us buy their nails because we can't use the more common 20 degree or 22 degree strips. But, t's a good nail that is code compliant where other manufacturers nails are not. So, to answer your question; yes, I believe they should work fine. Hope this helps.

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.

The first responder's words are very misleading: first, I'm not sure how you would effectively load unclipped nails in this nailer, and I've had great success with 1000's of hitachi 21 deg nails (all plastic clipped). They penetrate great and they're pretty darn cheap. Secondly, I would never use 22 deg nails in a 21 deg nailer. This nailer has a fixed loading mechanism. You wouldn't load a gun magazine with bullets angled 1 degree off the angle of the barrel, right? Hope this was helpful and that this is crystal clear - 22 deg nails could ruin the nailer - why take the risk? Happy nailing!

All the nailers use different ones. They are the plastic bound nails though. Round head 21 degree

I have used another brand of nail in this gun, and they are ring shanked. shoot fine. the other brand I used were the same angle of degrees, (21 I think), they were the same length, and they had same kind of binding on nails. has been a good, and fun tool.

Absolutely... The one I bought has a reset issue, but otherwise works great with up to 2inch nails. I load a half rack of nails instead of a full rack and that seems to help. I bought mine for $120. Well worth it!!!

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.
