How would this do on bamboo shoots? is it powerful enough for 1/4 inch bamboo? thanks!

Yes, it'll probably work well on Bamboo shoots that size. Make sure you have the longer life battery. wife uses this on her job as a landscaper and reports that's it's quite useful.

Not sure, but 1/4" is pretty big. The teeth will likely take the shoots, but I don't know if there is enough power to cut through them. Depends on how brittle they are. I have corded version for these kinds of jobs.

this ingersoll rand 2135qtimax is as powerful an 1/2 inch impact as you can buy....if it wont get it off you will need to move to a 3/4 or 1" impact. i use this impact every day in my shop and i love it.

I doubt that it would handle 1/4 inch rods. We have only burned 1/8 so far, but it may handle 3/16. I got it for my don for Christmas, we both love using it

I think it would work just fine for 1/4" T&G.; If anything, it is better for thinner materials. Remember to test using scrap pieces to get the setting correct.

Regarding the power, yes. I've fired through hardwood, completely sinking a 2" brad. It depends upon the space you have available concerning the "tight areas"; most likely, no.

It kills and neutralizes plants. Bamboo maybe I don't know a hard wood. Then use tordon. It will kill it. Any farm store will have it

Pretty good. I use it often and it easily moves leaves, twigs and smaller rocks. If you have tan bark it'll completely blow that away so be careful.

One of the best I've ever used. All I know is that it sinks my 1/4 inch staples better and more consistently than others. I believe it will do fine for what you're planning.

I wish I could give you a definitive answer on 3/4" oak, but I'm not sure. I've only used it on 1/2" bamboo with 9/16" brads. It worked flawlessly on that though.

Solid strand bamboo is very hard. I do not think that it would penetrate the tounge. If the bamboo is on another type of core such as plywood or hdf it should work. We have had numerous troubles with the first gun. Bostitch replaced it after six trips to be repaired. The new gun seems to be working better. Problem with the safety mechanism.

I have not personally used it for bamboo, but from all the information I read that came with the saw, it will work on any boards/floor panels that are less than 0.75in thick.

The Freeman PFBC940 4 in 1 will shoot 18 gauge staples or brads but not nails or cleats. I used it on engineered hardwood with staples (recommended by the manufacturer). Check with your brand of strand bamboo and see what they recommend. Good luck with your progect and I hope this was helpful.

Yes, that this close to the upper limit of what it can cut. With 4 inch or smaller trees, you should have no problems. The tool is very safe; much safer than a regular chain saw.

Carl, you need to have an 18 gauge nailer for bamboo and really hard woods. The 18 gauge uses smaller nails and will not split the "tongue" of the tongue and groove boards. Sale's people sometimes can give you inaccurate info. We found this informationout when we were puchasing the nails for the gun.

Never tried it on bamboo but so far it's killed everything I sprayed it on. I dissolve it in a plastic jug with warm water then pour it in my sprayer then fill the rest of the way

Yes and no. It will not keep up to a 1/2 inch impact or tools that use similar amounts of air to operate. It will give you a few seconds of full power but not long enough to keep working efficiently.

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