I am considering this nail gun and the Hitachi NT65MA4 15-Gauge Angle Finish Nailer. This will be my only nailer which is best overall?

I'd say do not buy either one!! The 16ga I bought was a piece of junk!! Jambed every 4-5 nails and it is not easy to clear. Took it to a repair shop and they charged me more than half of what I paid for it!! JUNK. Buy a MAX nailer and forget about Hitachi. You have been warned.

It depends on what you want to do, how heavy a brad you want to use (gauge and length of brad). Naturally the smaller gauge won't split your material but won't hold heavy material. I own three different nailers all used for different purposes. These Hitachi guns are really good and pretty inexpensive to boot.

It depends on what you are using it for. the both have ups and downs to them. I prefer the angled ones as they can get into some tighter spaces. Hope this helps.

So far I have used the finish nail gun only and it worked fine. I will rate the rest of the guns once I use them in the summer.

They striker is about 1/4 inch so any nail with a head will work. You can use finish nails as well, but the striker will leave a 1/4" dent in the wood if you drive it all the way in. I would say it is best for driving D nails flush, or countersunk a bit. I really liked this tool

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.

This is my first finish nailer to own.. I've used or rented the earlier models of this nailer and this model seems to stand up to all the models I've used in the past. I would defianately recommend this nailer

I use a hitachi clipped nail framing nailer with this PC pancake compressor. I fire 3" ring shank nails fast and it keeps up all day, 5 days a week.

I can only answer this from knowing the FC350B. It';s an excellent nailer to date and I'm quite satisfied with it. It's easy to get nails and it doesn't jam. As a first it's worth getting.

Yes my numax framing nailer has work perfectly. Couple drops of air tool oil daily is good maintenance. Would recommend to anyone.

Most brad nailers operate on the range you mention. This combo includes a brad nailer and that's pretty much the only thing it can power. This is really just a tire inflator with two storage tanks attached. This unit is very loud and slow to fill. There are better options for the money.

I bought the NuMax SP123 23 pin nailer and it works very well. I do a lot of molding work and this gun is great.It leaves a very small pin hole (makes for easy sanding) and holds tight. Use high quality pin nails for best performance.

Patricia, this nailer will drive most sizes of nails, however, they are best for short, framing hanger nails. There are better suited nailers for larger nailers that work faster and less cumbersome to work with.

I used the 15 gage on 3/4" stock (into 2x4 frameing) and it worked great. Baseboards I have not gotten to yet but my plan would be to try the 15 gage and if it blows through the wood or cracks go with the brad nailer. Good luck!

The best framing nailer is 83a strate paperThe nv90ag I don't prefer too much problem

I have used the pins that came with the nailer - I think that they are Grex - with no problems. I really like this nailer - no problems at all. The only issue I have with 23 gauge pins is that they sometimes will deflect due to the grain of the wood and if you are close to an edge they can poke out of the material.

I purchased the nails from a local supplier. The gun uses standard nails. I'm sure Home Depot or Lowes carries the nails for this type of nail gun.

I have only used the nails recommended by the manufacturer and they perform perfectly. I would not recommend using a nail other than those specified by the manufacturer. Why risk potentially damaging the gun, voiding the warranty or getting hurt. You should purchase a nail gun that is made for the nail you intend to use.

Use standard nails for nail guns from any hardware supplier... nothing special. I like this gun.
