Absolutely. I've had this tool for about two years and it hasn't yet let me down. It drives brands up to 3/4" with ease and I believe it's rated for up to two inches. I had an older model that required oil and it would jam at the most inconvenient of times. This one does not require oil and it's a pleasure to use. BUY IT!!

Yes, perfect for any nailer or stapler. Was a great purchase. Its kinda loud, but compressor only runs about every 30-40 nails I shoot. I'm very satisfied with this purchase. I bought it to install trim and moulding.

Consider that, 18 gauge nails are very thin, they can not carry heavy constructive elements as screws do. You can not really built with them furniture. But they are good for wainscoting (together with glue), attaching crown moldings, baseboards and temporary joints. I bought this particular gun only because I do a lot wainscot and not planning to buy air compressor (have no extra space for it). Besides, this gun does great job and is friendly in use. Another point: sometimes is money save to buy air compressor and few air activated tools, such as nailgun, sender, paint gun, because this range of tools is much more cheeper. Good luck!

This nailer will accept 3/4 inch to 1 3/8 inch headless or a very small headed nail. I have been told it will also shoot 1/2 inch nails.

no I would not use this. The nail is too small a diameter. I would use a 15 gauge nail

As long as you match the nails to the nail gun model #. I have used several different brands successfully.

I can not answer that directly since I use only Hitachi nail guns but it handles an Hitachi NR90AC3 which shoots full round head 16d nails (3.5x.164). It is also the old style gun so if there is a bigger gun out there I have not run into it.

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

I don't think so. The head of the nail would have to be less then about 3/8" Dia. to fit into the small hole in the nailer.

I have used this for a lot of trim and love it. As far as shoe molding goes you may want a smaller gauge. This 18 gauge may split it. Since this is the only nail gun I have, I would use it, but be cautious.

Yes, this nail gun will nail any kind of flooring from the thinnest thickness up to 3/4" thick, and it must be tongue and groove. this nail gun is much better than most people think. It works very well and well worth the money. I hope this helps and good luck with your project.

I've used 3" 10d nails, the nailer worked great. My advice is to start the nail first manually then use the nailer, otherwise the nail wanders before it bites into the wood.

as long as you are not in a tight corner you should have no problem. Gun is great. Used for garage shelving, shed and porch extension. No problems. Only issue is that they do not sell the nails at your local hardware stores or at HD or Lowes. Need to order online. Not a bad deal as long as you have what you need. If you run out, you wait until the mail comes.

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 feel sure ya could use this nailer to put up the 1"x6 boards or 1"x4" boards, using 2" brads. It could not be used for the frame work. It is after all a finish nailer. If trying to keepanimals in or out I would not use this nailer. I've used mine to put 1"x2" boards together. It will sink the 3/4" boards good. Keep in mind this is a finish nailer.

Yes, and a very fine and dependable nail gun to have. Great for very small work.
