Please give the the difference, a brad nailer and a pin nailer. I think I know the answer but after reading all these reviews am a little confused.

Three finish nailers. Regular finish nails, pin nails, and micro pins. I bought this Hitachi and I am having a lot of trouble with it. Nails will not shoot consistently. I would look at Senco variety.

Micro pin holds very small pieces until the glue dries. Pinners hold lightly to firmly in place. Finish guns are for setting doors-base-door and window casing.

The thickness of the nail. One is usef for finishing work and the other is thicker and leaves a bigger hole.

Brad nailer and pin nailed may shoot nails with the same nail shank size like 18 gage but the pin nailer nail has no nail head (pin). It's use leaves a smaller nail hole but has less longtatudinal (in the direction of the axis of the nail) holding strength.

What job are you doing here? What does your gun say it uses? What depth, and therefore length, you need? That should help you decide which to use. Read prior examples of brad or point, which is clear: want or need head, then use brad.

A 'Brad' nailer shoots a nail with a small head. A 'Pin' nailer shoots a pin with no head. Pins are easier to cover up but have little holding power.

They are both the same. Basically these are finishing nails. The heads are smaller than normal so they wont be visible when nailing timwork.

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.

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.

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.

In my opinion, this compressor which will generate 125 PSI, should allow the brad gun to work quite well, the gun itself does not use a large amount of compressed air like an air grinder, I shoot a number of brads before my compressor kicks in to replenish the pressure, my compressor has two tanks, so this compressor may kick in more often, since it has less reserve capacity.

It's basically the same frame just an updated model. To be honest I really don't know what they changed other then the model number. Good nailer so far, I've run over 5000 nails through without a misfire. Mine is entirely red by the way, hard to misplace.

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 purchased the nailer specifically for 18GA brads. 16GA can split small pieces of wood, quarter round, etc. I'm retired and use mine for interior trim and small woodworking projects using brads with glue or just brads. Once you use a pneumatic nailer, you will seldom, if ever, use a hammer and nail again. There is a depth adjustment on all nailers. Test the adjustment using a piece of scrap of same wood. Obviously, a brad won't sink as deeply into oak as pine. Happy nailing.

This nailer uses brads. The head of the brad is rectangular. I have found this to be an excellent tool that is both durable and reliable. I hope this helps.

Nothing, same bailer. From Senco website: SENCO 6E0001N FN55AX, Cordless Fusion 18-Gauge Brad Nailer (00741474119071)

The nailer doesn't have the conventional safety tip like you see on other nailers and this is because you typically need to get the pins in places where you don't want to show any nail holes. I'm assuming the reason for the double safety is because the pins don't have head and the head may provide some type of catch on a standard nailer for the safety to latch on to.

This is a finish nailer. You are going to want a framing nailer and use ring shank galvanized nails. Check out the bostitch f28ww

Both of these are framing nailers which will take 3 1/2" nails. Both are quality nailers for framing work. The FR350B only uses round headed nails. The FC350B uses both round and clipped head nails. The paper holding the clipped head nails in a strip causes less problems than the plastic which holds the round headed nail strips. The FC350B is more versatile. I own the FC350B nailer and love it. It's light & easy to use. I'd recommend the FC350B (& not just because I own it.)

Brad nails are formed from a fine 18 gauge wire, while finish nails are made from heavier 16 or 15 gauge wire. Finish nails are the correct choice for fastening larger crown and baseboard trim, brad nails are used to install smaller trim to help prevent splitting and to promote a cleaner looking job with less touch-up work after the nailing is done.

That's a pretty vague question. Best value, at driving nails, durability, colour? I feel its a pretty decent nailer at that cost. I think I like hitachi better for ease of use and balance, however a bostitch is cheaper to repair. I think its the same as asking what brand of truck is better. Depends on what is important to you and features you like.

I own both and think the other does a better job cutting nails (sharper blades), but this product has a nail catcher (the white plastic around it). My nails are tough to cut, so I appreciate the better blades on the other one, but this one work well, too.

Hello. The larger compressor you use, the less the compressor stays on. If you are using the nailer near the compressor and don't mind the compressor cycling on and off (small compressor), then use the smaller pancake compressor. It also depends on how much you are using the nailer. If you are bump nailing and doing lots of work, a smaller compressor may have trouble keeping up with the pressure you are using. I use a small pancake compressor and the nailer does just fine because I don't use it but every 30 seconds to a minute or more. So, it really depends on how much $$ you are willing to spend for the largest compressor you can afford and still have it portable. Good luck. Hello.
