Can DA nails be used with this nailer?

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.

Yes. I use their DA series, e.g. DA25EPB 2-1/2" Finish Nails. I also use MF (Master Fastener) DA series Nails. Additionally, Grip Rite's DA series nails and Harbor Freight's 34 degree angled finishing nails (# 69920 & 69921) will also work.

as with any finish nail, you will have a small hole in the wood. It doesn't matter whether you hand-set or use the dewalt nailer. But the dewalt will hold securely. You will probably want to use a similar color wood filler to finish it off.

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

as long as you are not in a tight corner you should have no problem. Gun is great. Used for garage shelving, shed and porch extension. No problems. Only issue is that they do not sell the nails at your local hardware stores or at HD or Lowes. Need to order online. Not a bad deal as long as you have what you need. If you run out, you wait until the mail comes.

Yes. If the material is particle board adjust the depth on the nailer so the nail just penetrates the surface.

It's going to depend on the design of the nail. As a seller I couldn't guarantee it. I don't stock the pin nails to test. If you send some I would be happy to test them.Rich W. RHW Surplus Sales

I may be wrong, but i think that 28 degree nails are metal collated. They would never work. Besides that i think 30 degrees is the minimum for this nailer

Yes, however keep your fingers clear since the pins are so small that longer ones tend to bend when shot in following the grain. The 2" pins especially. Expirament on a piece of scrap before using on the finish product. Otherwise pretty much the best pin nailer one can buy. Very little trace of a nail hole.

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.

I don't think it will. It only works with brat nails about 1.5" long. Compressor works great with other nailer.

This nailer uses plastic collated strip nails which is 21 degree. As far as I know all plastic collated strip nails are angled between 20-22 degrees that which any of these angles can be used with this nail gun. The 35 degree paper collated nails won't fit in this nail gun.

As long as you match the nails to the nail gun model #. I have used several different brands successfully.

This nailer will not use siding nails. However, some contactors use a roofing nailer and roofing nails to nail hardie siding, nailing every 12". I would call James Hardie Co. and ask them if they approve this application.

I use mine for pedicures in addition to manicures. You just have to be careful with it.
