But on a serious note, I have this gun. Out of ~100 nails it'll mangle 3-4 and won't fully drive in another 5 unless you're dead straight.
But I'm new to it so it passes. Especially since I don't need to lug around a compressor and hose. Nice for small jobs / ground work.
I still use ridgid air one but don't remember nail problems unless shooting very hard wood or something similar (knots, laminated surfaces). Try different nail manufacturer, maybe that will help.
Different nail thickness and sizes mainly for different uses (for example you wouldn't want using framing nailer for your trim and vise versa).
Another key difference to note is the angle of the nailer. You don't want to put the wrong nails into a nailer and this one is easy because there is no angle. On the down side it does make it harder to use in tight spots than one where the nails are at an angle.
What is the difference between nailers? Is there one more multipurpose than others? Thx
Brads are most often used in the construction of projects - bookcases, cabinets, etc.
Finish nails are most often used for installing items to the wall.
Is this a legit company? I placed an order for this and 2 other Dewalt tools last week. Since then I can't even find the order status online under my account, and the rep told me "this order is still under fraud verification and we'll email you shortly once it's complete". What is this nonsense?
