What is the Magazine Angle Degree? I use 34 Degree nails. One Answer says 22.5 degree another says 33 so there is a bit of confusion there.

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).

the magazine is 35 degree but i use 34 degree nails cause there easier to find

You can use paslode 30 degree offset round head or senco KC 28s in this gun

From Hitachi web site, the tool is 35 degree. A difference of 2 degree is good for the nails. The Hitachi nails that i use are 33 degree. Pastlode nails with round head and 30 degree don't work with this Hitachi tool, i have try it.

I also use bostich nails mostly because that was what was available. 28 degree, FULL round head, any length from about 2 1/4 to 3 1/2 approximately. You should be careful not to get clipped head, they might work, but I don't know. At a previous job I used an unfamiliar nail gun that I thought used the Bostich full round head nails. It did not work right. It required clipped heads. This one take full round head, 28 degree.

Since it's a framing nailer and rarely used for continuous firing probably 2.5 cmf would be plenty, if worse came to worse you might need to let the compressor catch up every once in a while, I have a 6.2 cmf compressor and have never had a problem, I own 2 of these guns and they are well built and extremely reliable

The Paslode F-350S uses framing nails with 31 degrees of collation, which is the normal angle for a clipped-head nailer. Either clipped-head OR Roundrive-head nails will work in this nailer.

According to the owner's manual it is 3.2 degrees. This and other information can be found on the www.rockwelltools.com website.I highly recommend it

It does not matter. Either 21 degree or 22 degree nails will work just fine. This nailer has about a 3 degree tolerance on nail angle. Use either 21 or 22 degree nails - you won't be able to tell the difference. If you still have doubts, call porter cable customer service, they will telly you the same thing. p.s. buy this nailer! it works great!!

I frame houses for a living. I've used this gun and previous version for going on a decade. The metal connector shoots any standard 21 degree nail .131 through .148 thickness by 1 1/2'' through 2 3/8'' length. In other words you don't need ''metal connector nails'' . The metal connector does not shoot gun 16s.

sorry about previous answer. I own a NR90AD. 30 degree 3 1/2 Paslode rounded nails should work fine. I have use 31-34 degrees clipped nails....

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 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.

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

As far as I am aware as long as they are the correct angle (21 degrees) and full round head galvanised or non galvanized shouldn't matter.. I've used several different brand and didn't seem to matter I even talked with tech support to make sure I could use the paper collated nails by duofast cause I prefer the paper (it doesn't hit you when you're firing nails) and tech support said the collation didn't matter..best of luck

The angle gun is more "corner" friendly. Especially when working with moldings etc. in tight places. We have ran 20,000 plus nails through ours and not one problem . Still going strong. If it broke today it owes us nothing. I'd buy the same thing again in a heartbeat.

The first responder's words are very misleading: first, I'm not sure how you would effectively load unclipped nails in this nailer, and I've had great success with 1000's of hitachi 21 deg nails (all plastic clipped). They penetrate great and they're pretty darn cheap. Secondly, I would never use 22 deg nails in a 21 deg nailer. This nailer has a fixed loading mechanism. You wouldn't load a gun magazine with bullets angled 1 degree off the angle of the barrel, right? Hope this was helpful and that this is crystal clear - 22 deg nails could ruin the nailer - why take the risk? Happy nailing!

Bruce, as Rick says you can only get a bit less than 90 degrees at the neck, but if you bend the next few joints down you can achieve a right angle. I do that when I want to shoot something with a portrait orientation. Donald's point about stability is right on as well: I always keep a hand on the tripod no matter what, and the best use of it is for clamping the camera to a fence or branch or something, not as a traditional tripod.
