Does this nail gun have sufficient power to nail T & G bead board ceiling?

It should my husband has both the framing gun and the finishing gun and he loves both of them. He has never had any problems with not having enough power for anything he has ever used them for.

Yes it does if you use at least two inch nails. I did ten rooms in car siding and all are still quite attached.

If you set the nail depthto far it would easily go through tounge and groove.

It has plenty of power for this. It will drive up to 2 1/2 inch nails into all woods. It is a great finish nailer. I can't sing its praises enough. It sits around for weeks, or months even, and the battery still has charge to fire a bunch of nails. So much handier than a compressor and hose. I love it.

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!

It doesn't matter it is the most solid and best nail gun I have ever used. Buy it!!

Short answer is yes. I have used it with framing and finish nailers, pneumatic impact wrenches, air guns, and other tools. It occasionally needs a short break to catch up if you use too much air, but that's only occasionally a problem. My 60 Amp plasma cutter can exceed the compressor capacity, but it gives about a 50% duty cycle even with that big tool. This size compressor is commonly used with framing nailers in home construction projects. As with any compressor, some tools require an air dryer or lubricator.

It depends on if they are 16 gauge or 18 gauge nails. Typically the brad nailer is 18 gauge, but check on the gun to confirm that.

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

Short answer is no. The term is misleading, it is not a pneumatic nailer. The drill has a mechanism that provides additional torque to drive screws in or out of the substrate depending if you are trying to screw or unscrew.

It would likely do fair, however depending how many boards you need to fasten. Star drive deck screws driven by impact cordless driver might serve you better. A 20V cordless impact can do an amazing amount of work plus a screw can be with-drawn if needed whereas impulse driven nails are much harder to dislodge. I use my impact driver much more often than my impulse nailer. I own and use two Paslodes and one Bostich gas nailer, very handy tools indeed. Just another opinion.

This tool is not for nails. It works like the air wrench they use to remove the lug nuts on your wheels. They are called impact guns because they have a small hammer inside that impact the shaft to loosen the nuts. You are looking for a nail gun. Most of those require an air compressor to provide power.

The gun works on flooring up to half-inch. It will except any quarter inch crown staples.

You will not be able to find a gun that shoots both types of nails, but a 1 1/4" or longer roofing nail is very effective in installing hardi siding, if studs are actually hit, and you don't face nail ( the bigger heads of the roofing nails take more of a glob of caulk and can be unsightly.)

This soinds loke a trick question. Let me ask this, is your base board 3" thick or does it stand 3" tall & is 3/4" thick? If it's 3/4" thick, a 2 1/2" brad will work & this nailer will shoot them well!

It might run a nail gun, but not a die grinder or drill.I haven't tried a nail gun. Anything continous won't run.

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.

I would think that this NuMax or a brad nailer could do the job. The Numax shoots a small headless nail and it is difficult, if not impossible to see the entry point. I have used it for attaching end skins to cabinets and one certainly doesn't want to see nail entry points on the side of cabinets. The type of work you describe, arts and crafts, probably would require the same characteristics, no visible nails. The thickness of the wood certainly is a factor to consider. This Numax supports a nail up to one inch limiting the size.

The finish nailer has enough power but I don't think that the nail head would be sufficient for framing... Porter cable model #FC350B might be more capable for what you're looking to do.

Use standard nails for nail guns from any hardware supplier... nothing special. I like this gun.
