The name states clipped head nail gun.. But see some reviews saying round head. Will this nail gun work with round head nails?

I don't think it will work with any kind of nails that are hooked together with plastic strips . I'm not sure if they have anything but clipped head nails that are bound together with wire

It does work with round head nails. I purchased my nails at Home Depot. At the time they only offered round head nails, Bostitch branded.

I'm not an expert but make sure you check the gauge of the nails or brads that you plan to use, you need to use the correct gun to shoot different gauges, wrong sizes might fit but not fire by your nailer. I would guess that if your gauges are correct you would want to use the finish nailer for your finish nails.. You can use smaller nails or brads than your gun allows just not larger ones.

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.

I use a hitachi clipped nail framing nailer with this PC pancake compressor. I fire 3" ring shank nails fast and it keeps up all day, 5 days a week.

One uses a round head nail and the othed a nail head that is clipped on one side. Don't bug a clipped head, most building codes require round head...clipped head nails are getting harder to find...

Yes I have used my nailer with all different brands of nails. They all work good. Just watch out for the cheap stuff, the don't hold together in the strip well.

No, but some nail manufacturers make a round head nail specially for a clipped head nailer. In particular..... Paslode and pnuefast. Possibly others. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000B66PVQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?qid=1394623985&sr;=8-7π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70

My experience with this nail gun is with the plastic coated nails. But I think as long as they are the correct size, it shouldn't make any difference. Paper tends to be more expensive, but you don't have bits of plastic flying around.

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

Actually this was my first nail gun and I haven't even used it yet. it takes a decent size nail. So I believe it should be ok for your needs, maybe first look at the nail to judge for yourself. I wish I could be of more help but perhaps google it for more definitive answer

Hi, the head of the roofing nail is to big to fit in the nailer. The bigger issue is the time it would take to insert 1 roofing nail at a time. A roofing gun allows you to load an entire clip of nails for a faster, smoother process. Most rental agencies, including the HD stores with rental equipment have the roofing guns and nails available. Have fun!

The piston is different for driving the 2 different types of nails. They are not interchangeable. In some areas the clipped head nails are not allowed because of local construction codes. The clipped head nails are also becoming harder to find if you have this type of nailer. The nail load for clipped head is more dense because the nails are closer together than the round head. Recommendation: do not waster you time with clipped head.

the mouth of the toe nail clipper is large in my opinion. works great on large toe nails. the finger nail clipper can, also be used on toe nails. i love them because they are sturdy and better than any i have ever tried.

Basically most compressors would work with the pin nailer. It does not take a lot of pressure to operate this gun. I would stick with a top brand name. Porter Cable has a "pancake" style compressor that could be purchased at HD or Lowes. I have that compressor and 6 different Porter Cable guns including the pin 138.

Yes the 31 degrees is the angle of the rack of nails. For there are a wide variety of nail guns which shoot different angles of nails. There are certain nail guns that shoot clipped headed nails. And a clipped headed nail is literally clipped to allow the rack of nails to be stacked sort of speak without catching each nail while being fired.

The type of nail. Clipped head vs. round head. There are articles that discuss the pros/cons of each

I have three Dewalt clipped head framers. I put about 90-100 thousand paslode nails through them every year. Love the paper clips because there is no shrapnel and they hold up in the weather!! I have also put them through my senco and they work well there also.
