is this powerful enough to drive 2" nails with a 16 gauge finish nailer?

It will but it is going to recycle allot, maybe after every 2 or 3 shots. Nail penetration will depend on what kind of wood. Oak is denser than pine. A 3 gal compressor would work better and drive longer and thicker nails but for small jobs and infrequent use it will do You could also check out Harbor Freight.

It will work, but the LOUD compressor will come on every few nails. For a medium sized project, a 3-6 gallon tank would be better.

Don't even bother with this piece of junk. It takes about 20 minutes to build up pressure and is extremely loud. The plastic hose that comes with it is so stiff and brittle that it will drag the compressor around with anything you try to use with it. That thing is just junk and isn't good enough to use for anything other than filling up bicycle tires.

This gun uses several different sizes of hitachi nails. I used some 2 1/4", 3" and 3 1/2" in my deck project. The gun worked flawlessly. Importantly, though, is the level of you expertise, the size of your air tank, etc. to adequately answer your query. On first thought, yes; however experience level could mitigate that.

yes, if it produces and can maintain 100 psi air pressure. this is an excellant nail gun. i wouldn't give mine up for twice the cost.

Atantic you could drive 2 Long Nails using Screw Cap....but it is recomemded as a Floor Stand. ..Good Luck!!

I think it will work well. It has several tools that will whittle down a thick nail. Just be careful not to go too deep.

Probably. It's a #16 finish nail. You wail probably use more nails than usual.

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

Yes, it sure will. That's what I used it for. I used Bostitch 1 & 9/16" 18g brads. Set the pressure at 70psi and fiddled with the depth gauge to slightly bury the nails in the tongue. Worked perfectly.

This nailer only shoots 15.5 or 16 gauge nails. I used 16 gauge nails to install my 5/8 bamboo. Worked great.

According to the manual on porter cable's website the nailer is 2.83 cfm @ 80 psi for 100 cycles (Nails). If you had a 3 gallon air tank I would assume that would work.

The 2 1/2" nailer is made for 16 ga. nails, the other nailer is an 18 ga. nailer and this is the one you would use with the supplied finish nails. The 2 1/2" model will accommodate any 16 ga. nails up to 2 1/2", they do not have to necessarily be that length though. I believe your nail shank diameter (gauge) need to match the nailer but please refer to the documentation that came with it.

I run mine At 90 psi or less. A small compressor is perfect for this nailer. The pin nails are small and hold well. I use it for finish work on small items and to hold items when I am gluing.

I am unsure what a pin nailer might be. It must be a regional term. Brads, I guess could be called "pin-nails" It will handle 18 guage brads from 3/8" to 2 inches. Mine is a fantastic machine that is easily unjammed should one occur and has very few misfires. Hope this helps

I wouldn't, even though it probably could be used. This model of nailer drives 16 gauge wire nails, or finish nails. They have very small heads that would drive too far into the material. It would be better to use the construction grade nailer which drives nails with larger, flatter heads. The 8 penny equivalent nail should be used for sheathing like 1/2" OSB.

I have used this compressor with a finish nailer on a small home improvement project and it worked fine. I would not use for any big projects or with tools that require a lot of air.

No problem. I've used it on 3/8" thick siding with great results along with heavy framing and metal connectors. I've found on the 1 1/2 - 2" nails you will need to turn your pressure down to about 50 psi and then ajust it up until you get the right penetration. I would suggest that if this is the only application you will be using this on, get a lighter gun. If you want an all purpose gun, this is the one to get.

Yes it will. Try to keep the battery fully charged..It tends to slow down when nailing.
