can this be used for light framing work? specifically fence pickets, 2x4s, etc.

I have used it for light work such as applying fence to rail. Good little gun. For fencing a staple gun could be as good or better. I have used this a lot and it is a good gun.

Yes it'll tack it in place. I would still secure properly with longer nails or better yet wood screws

The 2x4 category should not be considered light framing. I would not even use this tool for 2x2. This is a trim installation tool, where 1/2" should be considered the max. I found the 16 gauge nails to be more akin to wire than a hardened nail, and tend to follow the easiest path. Best for nailing trim into a stud, which tend to be softer than joists.

Sure, but I bought a 12 foot wether resistant 4x4 and sunk that 2 foot and mounted it on that. It might be a little difficult the way you want it cause fence poles are usually 2" in diameter. But it could be done. I would prefer something flat like the 4x4.

Designed for wall, but could probably work on soffits, the light would not be able to shoot very much.

I could use it but in mine as I have a single sheet of drywall for a ceiling. If you have a double layer, plaster, or other thick type ceiling It wouldn't secure without modification to the box.

If you are referring to, http://www.fjwestcott.com/24-x-32-softbox-for-westcott-d5 , then I would have to say yes, since the lighting kits looks to be fairly light weight. These stands are very heavy duty and can handle a lot of weight. But they are targeted at holding the truss and not a light kit, so I'm not sure they would be appropriate for this use. In fact, possibly overkill. The tripods are quite heavy to lift. With three truss sections (30'), I hung over 150lbs if lights across the trusses supported by the two tripods.

We only ever used it with framed doorways. I don't think it would work on unframed.

Yes but it's junk unless your just cutting 2x4's for framing. My rec -buy a good blade 60-80 tooth and you will be very pleased with it's performance.

That's what I bought it for was posters. Works well as long as the wall is not real rough and porous. I found it didn't work well with cement or stucco walls.

Pretty much any compressor will work with this gun. Even the little hot dog style ones. If your building an outdoor shed I would look more toward using a nail with a head on it for your exterior trim, something like a 6,7,8d galvanized common or box nail.( Box nails do tend to have a larger head than an common) This gun is definitely not suited for framing.

Yes it will work for picture frames. I use the blade when cutting precise pieces for segmented bowls. I have also used it when cutting corian. It should perform very well with PVC moulding. Even though the blade is thin there is not a lot of flex. GOOD LUCK!

It will make things viewable in a 10x14 shed, it is not enough light to do a project. Windows should have no effect on the light.

yes, but it will not articulate far enough to point up towards the ceiling. it should work fine for aiming light at an artwork that hangs on a wall.

yes - you will need to add additional lumber. 2x4s will most likely work but be prepared to shave them down just a tad.

Yeah, that should be fine. I used it for a few prints that were 24x30. As long as your canvas isn't too top heavy, it shouldn't be an issue.

I am not sure if a 2x4 would work. I am using them in 1x4 panels and they work fine, but not sure if there would be enough threading left to secure them to a 2x4.

Honestly it's a bit much for that. If you're trying to hang pictures or something, you'll have to be light on the trigger. It can go slowly, but this isn't the drill to buy if you only expect to do light work.

Hi there I use it for a much larger painting ,high up on a living room wall and a very dark colors painting....so unfortunately it is not strong enough, but we still love it.we also use it for a smaller brighter painting in the dining room and there it is fine. So I believe it should be ok for yours...
