Will this gun shoot the 3 1/4 hot dipped ring shank nail? Why isn't there a nail / fuel combo with this nail? All I can find in hot dipped is the 3 inch, but there is the 3 1/4 in bright smooth. Thanks

Yes it will shoot the ring shank , but hard on the gun,.....they just started the nail and gas combo, along with new gun ...I would think they are marketing most common nails

With this gun or any other airless gun you will have problems going through oak stair treads and if the framing lumber is old and also hard wood don't even try it. You will get recoil and the nail will not sink at all. Most times you will have at least 1/4 to 1 inch of nail exposed that you can't sink with a nail set and you will have a hell of a time getting the nails back out. I have Senco Fusion and Bostitch and neither would do it you might ruin the gun as well.

No, you have to buy the bigger model which shoots a full 3-1/2" nail. The advantage to this gun is its lighter weight and easier maneuverability. Because it is smaller it will only shoot a 3-1/4" nail

I would go with a larger 18 gauge nailer. I owned this gun for a little less than a year before it gave up and died. I wouldn't buy it again.

Actually this was my first nail gun and I haven't even used it yet. it takes a decent size nail. So I believe it should be ok for your needs, maybe first look at the nail to judge for yourself. I wish I could be of more help but perhaps google it for more definitive answer

There is NO problem with the depth setting. The only issue that I have had with the gun is using 2 1/2" ring shank coil nails. Even though the specifications say they can be used, they do not set fully/consistently. You have to follow-up with a hammer. Use 2" and there is no problems.

Mine fires two-inch nails perfectly. No problems. You might want to contact Senco, see what they advise.

you can use argon and ..030 wire would be a good choice and the gun does come with both .030 and .035 contact tips..035 wire might be better for the 1/4"

It is designed to fire one nail at the time, but the flaw in this gun is that is you don't apply enough pressure on the gun (hence when you hand is getting tired) the recoil will cause the gun to fire two nails. As for depth of the nail, i.e., countersunk, there is a dial next to the trigger that you can set the depth of the nail.

It doesn't matter. Bostitch framing nailers suck. They double fire nails a lot. How do I know? If I could, I'd post up the X-ray of a 3 inch nail that nailed my hand to a deck joist. I knew these guns suck, and kept my hand about 6 inches away as I held a 2x4 block I was nailing in place. The gun kicked back and the second nail went through my middle finger . Ironic. That's what I think of Bostitch.

I won't be home until tonight. If I remember it was 3/8, 1/2 5/8, 3/4 7/8. A word of advice: be sure to fit the plate to the flooring. The measurements are nothing more than a good guide. I did 3/8" hard Bamboo and found out the 1/2" plate was the right fit. (No split tops; almost no split tounge and only a few nail sets needed.) this gun paired with the (4in1 I think) 18g brad nailer / flooring / finish gun was a beautiful pairing. I had zero misfires with either gun and about 320 sqft. Do read the general directions (oil, be sure to remove staples when reconnecting air lines I did have the unit fire two deprecate occasions). I honestly can't wait to do more flooring at the house.

If you go to Home Depot they currently sell this nail gun and you can see it on their website as well. It's a 30 degree nail gun I have several of them. And yes they sell the nails there too. 2"-3 1/4"

I don't know about all that stuff, I'm new with my nailer so I bought bostitch nails. So far I've used 2 inch and 1 1/4 both are great with no problems. If you ry them the worse case is they jam and you have to get them out, go for it!

Cartridge dials to accommodate coils 1-1/4-1-1/2 or 1-3/4-2 or 2-1/4-2-1/2. Provided it was the proper angle and nail size, a 2-3/8 coil should shoot fine at largest setting. On board depth setting to adjust nail depth when fired. It was recommeded to me as best on market siding gun and I'd agree. Has survived multiple drops and usually jambs only when the coil of nails is messed up.

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.

1.5" nails will not work with this gun. You need a positive placement gun for the hanger nails. The only framing nailer I know of that also does 1.5" positive placement nails is the Bostitch: http://www.amazon.com/BOSTITCH-F21PL-Positive-Placement-Magnesium/dp/B000A79HWA/ref=pd_sim_sbs_hi_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=0PR44BHE2G14VH0NKF9F

Hi John, I dont know of a full round head nail that fits this gun. I have a coil nailers and other strip nailers that shot a full round head nail, you will have research re your nail selection.Scott
