Product Information

We also experienced the occasional jam, but they proved easy to clear and hardly surprising considering the force that the nails are being fired into the surface.

Just so you get a clearer picture, here are some of these nails and their respective lengths… Nail Gauge These are the first nails that you can use for structural connections because of the way better holding power (as their gauge is quite big compared to the previous nail sizes) Great for getting into tight corners. Excellent for dry wall lining with 91DP (divergent point) staples. There are a couple of codes that require you to use full head nails over clipped for framing projects.Before we look at the types of nails for nail guns and their specific uses, it’s worth mentioning that there is a variety of unique nail gun nail sizes with each designed for particular jobs. Indeed, your choice is quite limited when it comes to projects which need the strongest holding power like framing and sheathing. The problem with plastic collated nails is the plastic shrapnel that you have to deal with when you’re shooting them.

For example, there was a time the popular Paslode finishing gun used to some with the standard nose-plate for 16 gauge nails/brads along with an optional nose-plate to shoot 14 gauge nails.With regard to this, there are several degrees including 15°, 16°, 20 °, 21 °, 28 °, 30 °, and 35 °based on the type of nailer (for example, 15 and 16 degree are for respective finish nailers while folks mainly buy 21 and 30 degrees for framing nailers).

Types of nails for nail guns – Frequently Asked Questions [FAQs] Do all nail guns use the same nails?First impressions were good and it scored highly on the ‘mates will be impressed with this when they look round the shed’ scale. It’s lightweight, fearsomely dangerous (when in the wrong hands) and its looks reminded us somewhat of one of the laser pistols from Star Wars. However, the wife wasn’t overly impressed to see a grown man prancing around the shed reliving desperate battles against hordes of Storm Troopers (she was even less impressed when we asked her to plait her hair into buns and wear a toga pleading “help me Obi Wan”). Versatile, ergonomic and lightweight; the 191EL Pro is perfect for continuous nailing tasks, especially those in difficult to reach areas. Simple, easy to use and the fastest tool of its kind, it’s no wonder the 191EL Pro is the UK’s favourite nailer/stapler. But that does not mean that they’re useless these days- there are jobs you could find these oddly labeled nail sizes useful. Overall, you have more choices if you are into interior applications that are non-structural – think crown molding, chair rail, door casings, etc. since anything from 18ga brads going down will work (In general)

These are the finest nails (they’re pretty much pins) and are, for the most part, used to attach super delicate moldings as you wait for the glue to set/cure. On the other hand, clipped head nails are, in general, easier to fire with a nail gun all day (you don’t tire as much because you need less energy to drive them in even in tighter spaces). The next smallest size, these are just a little fatter than the 23ga nails and are mainly used to affix thin moldings as well as small to medium casings/chair rail.So, we are, in a nutshell, saying that you must specify the collation+angle when it comes to nails for certain projects (here we have concentrated on framing projects).
