Indeed, your choice is quite limited when it comes to projects which need the strongest holding power like framing and sheathing. To begin with, here is a summary of the most common nail gun nail sizes and the applications every fastener is recommended for: Nail gun nails sizes 23-gauge nails (diameter is about 0.025”/0.64mm) Second fix nail guns, also known as finishing nailers, are essential tools in the realm of carpentry and woodworking. Unlike their first fix counterparts, which are primarily used for structural assembly, second fix nail guns are designed specifically for the finishing touches of a project. It, therefore, follows that they are very ideal if you have projects like base trim (and other large trims) installation. But that does not mean that they’re useless these days- there are jobs you could find these oddly labeled nail sizes useful.

Angled nailers can get into corners far easier, which can be a huge advantage depending on the application but they can be a little more restrictive in terms of the sizes of nails they can fire (eg 32mm to 64mm). There are a couple of codes that require you to use full head nails over clipped for framing projects. Short answer: Not really. Each nail gun typically fires only one type of fastener(it can take different lengths but it has to be the same nail type). 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). Framing Nails are normally “clipped head” and are often available with a “Ringed Shank” for extra holding power. Typically, nails will be around 2.8mm to 3.1mm in diameter. Common nail sizes tend to range from around 50mm up to as much as 100mm. Framing Nail Gun Applications

Pin nailers are mainly used for fine finishing applications such as furniture making, attaching decorative mouldings, assembling picture frames or fastening delicate materials, veneers or trim to pieces of furniture. Often pin nails are used in conjunction with adhesives to hold mouldings in place while they set.

Types of nails for nail guns – Frequently Asked Questions [FAQs] Do all nail guns use the same nails?

Put the nails in and you’re ready to go! Straight nailers may struggle to get right into that corner but will typically give you more nail size options, often being able to fire nails from a shorter starting point (EG 16m to 64mm). Brad Nailer Applications First fix nail guns can effortlessly drive nails of varying lengths and gauges into the wood, allowing for efficient and rapid assembly of the timber framing elements. This significantly reduces the time and effort required compared to traditional methods such as using hammers and manual nail driving.

It can be difficult to understand all the nail gun terminology and names thrown around in the trade, especially when starting out as people often refer to the various types of nail gun in many different ways. This can depend upon not only the size of nail they can fire, but also the materials they are able to fire into, and even how the nail guns themselves are powered. 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). As the name would suggest, they fire “Pins” rather than “Nails”. Pins tend to be headless and of a tiny gauge (diameter), which is not ideal for applications where holding power is needed.

Standard nail sizes range from around 25mm to 100mm but come in wide varieties to suit many applications and will vary depending on the material you want to fire through or into. Concrete Nailer Applications Some fasteners are usually sized in pennies (represented by the D symbol, which is an old way of differentiating nail sizes). Just so you get a clearer picture, here are some of these nails and their respective lengths… Nail GaugeBrad nails also tend to have a small head and sometimes a serrated shank. As a result, brad nails tend to have considerably more holding power than pins. Although Brad nailers fire a heavier gauge nail than pin nailers, the hole they leave behind on the workpiece is still relatively small and easy to fill over for a great finish. Brad nail guns come in two variations, straight and angled. 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) The clue is in the name “Positive Placement” Put another way, you can be confident that the nail is going to be fired exactly where you intend it to fire.
