Does it work with narrow crown staples and brad nails?

I have the S2-118G2 and have used it with both narrow crown staples and brad nails.

No. This gun only accepts 18 ga. brads. That would not work well for fence boards. You might consider a nail gun that accepts crown staples, or a framing nailer.

I am certain it will. I have cut through some high tensile heavy duty decking nails and fasteners that are much thicker. You must remember that it is a vibration action tool so hold your workpiece well.

I would have to say no, mostly because the staples wouldn't be long enough as opposed to a brad nailer.

It can and it will. Just have to buy the different length nails for the different jobs. Is a continious nailer just hold the trigger and every time you hit the face gauge she lets one fly

This gun is suppose to take brads too. I saw them at the home improvement store when I was getting staples, but I did not try any. If the wood is thin enough the brads ought to work.

I only used staples and braid nails. Those worked perfectly in this tool. Just oil often

I don't think so; but, having said that only the manual can tell you for sure. If you do not have the manual, you might try and see if the Craftsman/Sears web site might have access to and old copy of the manual. The "Wide Crown" type staples are for really old staplers. Mine is over 25 years old and it is almost impossible to find this type staple in stores. None of the new staplers on sale at Sears, Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart etc. use this type of wide crown staple. My manual for my Heavy Duty Manual stapler says these kind of Wide Crown staples will work in Craftsman Staple Tackers Models 9-68642; 9-68643; 9-6844; 9-6847; 9-68472 and Duo-Fast Models CT-850 & CT-859. Good Luck.

Yes it will nail it all the way. Sometimes it stops before the nails are flush, but just line it up on the head of the nail again and hammer down. It will work.

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, it will work just fine with short staples. This Porter Cable stapler works very well.

It specifies the hard-to-find 7/32" crown staples, but I have run a couple of boxes of 1/4" crown ones through it with no problems. It should work fine for Bamboo--just be sure to set the blocks for the thickness & depth of drive carefully.

I used Bostich SX50351 staples which is an 1-3/8' by 18 gauge by 7/32 crown finish staple. Worked very well.

It definitely WILL shoot 5/8" 18 gauge brad nails. I had a variety pack of nails including 100 5/8" nails which I shot through my Wen nailer with no problems and no malfunctions. I just received an order of 5000 Dewalt 5/8" brad nails which I use to attach miniature cedar roofing shakes (made from cedar shims) to my birdhouses. Have not had any problems so far.

I have not use for any brad nails yet, but I believe its can, because its said can use for brad nails up to 2"

I am sorry I can't answer your question because I have no knowledge of what a crown staple is,.

Yes and it will do a good job of it. Up to a half inch this unit will pick up broken bits of staples, so brads and finishing nails are picked up even further.
