what type of nails does it take?

If you do a search for the Bostitch framing nailer you will see that is requires 28 deg. I ended up buying Bostitch nails just to be safe but any manufacturer that makes them in 28 deg will work.

I use the Bostitch 28deg. wire nails. 2"-3 1/2" work. Very common nail to find. Every lumber yard or big box store (home depot, etc.) carry them

I also use bostich nails mostly because that was what was available. 28 degree, FULL round head, any length from about 2 1/4 to 3 1/2 approximately. You should be careful not to get clipped head, they might work, but I don't know. At a previous job I used an unfamiliar nail gun that I thought used the Bostich full round head nails. It did not work right. It required clipped heads. This one take full round head, 28 degree.

It uses nails they don't carry at Home Depot. BOSTITCH S8D-FH 28 Degree 2-3/8-Inch by .120-Inch Wire Weld Framing Nails (2,000 per Box)I have always had to order them online and have them delivered.

I used Bostitch 3 1/4 X 0.120 28 degree wire weld framing nails which I purchased from Home Depot or Lowes. The magazine holds 100 nails, which helps reduce the number of times you need to stop and reload. I probably used about 1500 nails and never had any problems. I suspect other 28 degree wire weld nails would also work, but the local store carried Bostitch so I used them.

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

I bought one and am looking at it. On the front it says: 30 degree clipped head nail, 30 degree full head nail. I also read in the specs that it will take any nail from 30 deg to 34 deg

No doubt it would work. Just get the right length for your nails and apply the proper pressure so that the nail doesn't go too far. Use a few spare pieces of wood to try and find the right pressure and to test the length of your nails.

It will only take compatible nails, which you will find on the manufacturers web page. I tried to open it from my phone but the mobile version i guess doesnt show this much information. Im sure if you look at it on a computer you will find a pdf file with the specs and the compatible nails and staples

Depending on your specific nail problem I use the foundation 2 followed by intensive 2.Hope that helps.

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

No, you can either use a regular nail polish or you can get whats called the best glue ever or something like that, I see professional nail artists use that.

You can adjust the amount of pressure put into nailing each nail. But it takes up to 2" nails and puts them into the wood in the perfect depth or just a little bit deeper or just leaves the head of the nail out based on the pressure you set it at. If that makes any sense.

The standard for finger nail clippers are 3/8" and toe nails 1/2" I have a box full of all types and makes since 1952, and measured those just for you. An 1/16 of an inch here there shouldn't make much difference, the cutting edge and it's longevity is where the emphasis should lay.

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

Honestly not sure. I threw mine away. No matter what I tried, it peeled off immediately. Happened to more than just my nails.

I can't say I'm 100% sure. It's not needed to achieve a nice set of nails. I did use it to cool my hands before I got the uv gloves. Btw - the gloves are just as awesome as the light!!!

You'll need nail glue, an acrylic brush, files to shape the extensions, and something to trim them with. The kit only includes a set of tips, the powder, the retention liquid, a prep scrub, and solar oil for your cuticles. On a side note I wasn't impressed with the quality of the tips in the kit. They bend easily and started breaking within a day. I ended up redoing my nails with better tips from a local beauty supply store and they have stayed much better. Also make sure you get a good glue, not the cheap brush on. I always have problems with tips coming off with that glue. CND has a resin glue that works much better. Good luck.

The thickness of the nail. One is usef for finishing work and the other is thicker and leaves a bigger hole.
