My Senco nails did not work in this gun. My guess is that Bostitch made the gun so you need special Bostitch nails to use in it. They are fairly priced, so I have not concerned myself with what angle the gun is. It is a great gun that satisfactory replaced a 40 year old Senco SFN II that has probably shot over a million nails.

No, this tool uses 18 gauge braid nails while finish nails are usually 16 gauge

Yes it did a great job of driving these nails. The 1 3/4 inch nail is what I used. I just turned down the output from the compressor to about 80 psi and went to work. There are also depth adjustments on the gun itself. I only used mine for one job and then put it back into a box until next time that I might need it. I am really happy with this purchase. Hope this helps.Mike. (Joy is my wife)

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.

This gun uses Paslode framing nails. No, it will not handle most other nails someone may have on the jobsite, like Duofast, Bostitch, or other brands. I don't know the nail angle, but I have not found any other nails that will fit a Paslode gun other than Paslode. If there is another nail brand that it will shoot, then I am not aware of it.

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.

There is no gauge listed on nailer. This nailer uses L-shaped flooring nails which for the 3/4 inch flooring I installed .used Bostitch FLN-200 2 inch nails which worked great. Layed over 800sf of flooring and nailer worked perfect--no problems.

I use the grip-rite 21 degree nails from home depot , work great in this gun.

Your pancake compressor will handle the Porter Cable nail gun. I use a pancake compressor and never have had a problem.

I don't the model numbers but the one that I purchased is for 18ga nails, there is another one that shoots 15 or 16ga nails which are used for typical trim like base, crown and door trim. If you are using for small trim you need 18ga or smaller nails.

I use the 6 gal Porter Cable from Home Depot. Works great for small projects. I wouldn't use it for rapid fire nailing. You need a bigger tank for that. I get maybe 5 shots before the compressor kicks on.

i'm no expert, but from what i know a brad nail looks like a "regular" nail only is made from a thinner wire and has a smaller head. It does not have a U shape like a staple does. A nail gun can use other types of nails, like finish nails which are heavier gauge and have a larger head and most probably you have to putty the holes...I hope this helps, but as i said i'm no expert :)

Sorry for the delayed response. This particular gun shoots plastic, non-clipped nails.

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
