Can you use 18 gauge nails

No just 16 gauge. I find these the best size for woodworking/moldings. I also like a pin nailer for other work in the shop. they hold well and are invisible.

No just 16 guage nails. 18 guage nails are to small in diameter to function in the gun.

Probably can't build a fence. The max length nail is 2 inches. 18 gauge brads are too small to make a fence. Unless that fence is for action figures.

I have personally run framing nail sizes from 2 1/2" to 3 1/2". It may stretch a bit more than that.

I have used the nails in the assortment at GREX P6/MP-3 23 Gauge Multi-Pack Headless Pins (3,000 per box) The 1/2" seems to work without any problems.

I just used 5/8" brad nail by accident and they worked fine. I didn't even realize it till after. I only used about 8 though. I would still like to see what Wen says.

The DeWalt DC608K is a light nailer, ideal for inside trim. It is 18 gauge. For fence mending, a heavier gauge would be more appropriate. A nail gun that takes real nails with heads are what you need for fence work.

18 Gauge only. From 5/8" to 2" length nail size. If you need a 16 Gauge nail gun here is the link on that one (Never use a 16 gauge): DEWALT D51257K 1-Inch to 2-1/2-Inch 16 Gauge Finish Nailer

as long as you have something to nail into,such as a stud or header board behind the sheetrock, 18 gauge will hold just fine.

The appropriate fasteners are 18 gauge brad nails from 5/8" to 2" in length.

Will not work with 18 ga nails. If you could see 18 and 15.5 side by side you would understand. Great tool for the money though

Yes, I did use these nails in this nail gun. However, I found another brand of nails at my local hardware store, for much cheaper.

Yes, they fit 18 gauge posts. I bought them together with 18G 36 piece multicolor nylon post studs. I tried it on one and it fit quite snugly so should be hard to fall off. However, it's so snug, I wonder if it would fit posts wider than 18G.

In order to use finishing nails you will have to use the PC Model FN250SB finishing nailer. The BN200C brad nailer can handle up to 2-inch 18 gauge brads. In regards to whether it will countersink, the answer is yes it will. In my humble opinion it is an ideal tool for building small projects. I too am old school, but quickly adapted to the convenience, speed, and neatness of using a brad nailer. Good luck!!

I put a ruler on the steel, and it is over 1mm thick. That would make it 18 gauge. The metal is very rigid, and powder coated to prevent corrosion. A very nice product.

I bought this with an 18 gauge nailer. The 18 gauge came with a small bnottle of oil so every once in a while I do put a drop on the sliding parts. It works great.
