can you use this gun on hardie board

yes sometimes I have to angle the nail a bit so it doesn't go to deep in the fiber cement board

Make sure and use Bostitch brand nails with it, and it works great. Adjustable nail depth is very consistent.

Yes, it is the same nail gun I used when residing my house with Hardiplank in 2010-11. It works very well. It can be adjusted rather delicately for depth of nail drive. FWIW I used it with Hitachi electrogalvanized nails.

No, you will damage the cartridge that holds the BB. The barrel on this is a smooth bore/diameter for BBs so their would be no benefit as pellets would not perform well and have unpredictable behavior make it a dangers practice.

That's not how I'm using it, but I don't see why not. Only thing, since the board comes with a light gloss finish, I'd sand it off, cut your grooves, and then keep it well oiled.

Don't see why not. If you can buy dies for it it will reload it. I love mine.

I do not think so but the tool works great and I have used it for over a thousand board feet with out a failure. The only thing that I wish is the screw strips were longer. You really go through them fast. I really think this screw gun is worth three times the price I paid for a reconditioned one.

This is a great nail gun for hardie and sheathing. Just remember to set the depth adjustment so the nail doesn't sink into the siding.

Yes you can use any type of tank including guerilla tank . Personally I wouldnt recomend this gun, when i recieved it i used it and it when wrong and it stopped working. It jams a lot

You can but it is difficult to access the slide. I got it for a spring pistol and I had trouble loading it. So I gave it to my friend that has a non gbb CO2 pistol and it was fine.

if you have a rail to mount it on. I believe youtube has video with it on a shotgun.

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.

You sure can but you'll need to set trigger adjustment all the way down or you'll blow right through it. A brad nailer or small trim gun would be more suited for that job. Good luck.

Yes it will work well for that. Hardie siding can be installed with this as manufacturers installation only requires 1" penetration into the stud. If nailing into sheathing then longer nails won't matter. This nails up to 1 3/4". Please refer to pages 11 and 12 of their best practice guide where this model is specifically mentioned as recommended for Hardieplank. See the link below, page 11 and 12. http://www.jameshardie.com/pdf/best-practices/hz/hz5-best-practice-guide-us-intro-tools.pdf Thanks, ADP

I agree with Ramiro and Patrick. The nails that this gun shoots are very small headed. The Dry Wall would pull off of them like they were not there. The nails you should use are cup head drywall nails. When you drive them in be careful to dimple but not tear the drywall. Another choice are sheetrock screws, use a drill attachment for putting them in for proper depth control.

This gun is suppose to take brads too. I saw them at the home improvement store when I was getting staples, but I did not try any. If the wood is thin enough the brads ought to work.

Sure if you have the proper mount. It uses standard weaver/picetenny rail system.

Yes I use Bostitch all the time. They work great. You may have to change the nail plate on the gun to accommodate your flooring. Hold it up and see how it fits. Test fire a piece to see if it will work as is.
