What is meant by "31 degrees" and "clipped head?" Is the "31 degrees" the angle the rack of nails makes with the gun? Clipped head?

Yes the 31 degrees is the angle of the rack of nails. For there are a wide variety of nail guns which shoot different angles of nails. There are certain nail guns that shoot clipped headed nails. And a clipped headed nail is literally clipped to allow the rack of nails to be stacked sort of speak without catching each nail while being fired.

31 degree refers to the angle of the nails in the gun. They fire straight into whatever you are nailing. Clipped head refers to the actual nail, it is not a full circle head, there is a piece clipped off, that is how the nails are packaged. A full round head nail is just that, a round nail, like a typical nail you would hammer in with hammer.

Yes the angle is the angle of the tool and you need the nails are angled to fit. The are two types of nails-clipped, which has half a head on it, and full round head, which is a regular type of nail. My decision to buy trhe clipped head style was because I was given a full case of clipped framing nails and for my home shop the clipped nails would suffice. A case of framing nails can be expensive.

the 31 degrees is the angle the nails are in the clip.. when u buy nails u want to buy the nails that can be shot from your gun. so this gun uses 31 degrees nail clips... the clipped head means the nails are not full round headed nails... i got this gun off amazon and just used it to frame 1350sq ft full remodel basement. no problems.. Used 2 boxes of 2000 nails.. about $36 a box 31 degree clipped head from home depot.. lowes doesnt carry them fyi.. love it!

a clip head is round with one side cut off and the nails are close to gathera round head is round and the nails are spaced a part. (look up nails on your internet and you will see the dif.)

I have three Dewalt clipped head framers. I put about 90-100 thousand paslode nails through them every year. Love the paper clips because there is no shrapnel and they hold up in the weather!! I have also put them through my senco and they work well there also.

I use the Paslode paper collated 30 degree nails. I believe there is a slight variation between the round head paper collated nails and the clipped head (which I don't use).

I used some of the 22 degree without a problem. I've used Bostich guns for 30 years prior to this gun & this is as good as any I've used.t's a great nailer

It shoots brand nails on strips. They barely have heads if that's what you mean. They function the same as finish nails.

The metal connector nails fasten joist hangers, hurricane ties, etc. The nail is guided through the holes in the metal brackets by a special tip included with the gun. The nails are plastic collated 21 degree. I hope this helps.

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.

The head is constructed of plastic, so at normal cooking temperatures it is NOT expected to stand up. You got to reach in and "stab" it.

21-degree nails ranging in size from 2 to 3-1/2 inches, they have a plastic mold over the nails to hold the clip togeather. any big box home improvement store has them, or get them when you get the gun. like this Freeman FR.113-2GRS 2-Inch by .113-Inch Plastic Collated Galvanized Ring Shank Framing Nail, 2000 Per Box or this Freeman FR.131-3GRS 3-Inch by .131-Inch Plastic Collated Galvanized Ring Shank Framing Nails, 2000 Per Box

No, you must use clipped head nails. Here is a link to the Amazon site for 34 degree nails.

While the gun jammed once in a while, it is waaaay faster than hand nailing cap nails. I'm happy with itThey are full round heads. They might be about 1/4 in. diameter. I can measure them tomorrow.

clipped head nails actually fit much closer together in a strip and I would suspect that they would not feed right and that the gun might actually hit two nails at a time when firing. I would advise not trying it but I have also never actually tried it myself

Clipped head. 22.5 degree . The most common used in all framing nailers. Even the HD has them

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