I am framing my basement and will be renting a Bostich (they have a F28WW and N80SB-1available) framing nail gun. I have Paslode brand nails (30 degree full round head, 3x.131 smooth). I just want to ensure that these will work in the gun i am renting. i would like to not have to purchase more nails.
thanks!
The F28WW takes 28Deg nails that are collated with wire, so your nails won't work in that gun. The N80SB is also a 28Deg nailer so your 30 Deg nails won't work in that gun either. Sorry about the bad news but it looks like your going to have to spring for new nails
I own a Bostitch N80 framing nailer that takes 28 degree collated wired nail nail strips and have shot 30 degree Paslode nails in it. The sharper angle doesn't seem to bother it much. I'll get a misfire if the nail strip doesn't seat firmly as it moves up and I wouldn't do it on a regular basis but if I run out of nails, it will work in a pinch.
