I'am planning to install 1x6 T&G boards over existing walls (into studs) in my "man cave" to give it a rustic feel. Will this nailer work OK?

Yes. Make sure you test the nail depth on scrap wood first. Otherwise, there is NO better way to go.

This nailer will shoot 3-1/2" framing nails like a boss but I've even used it for cement board siding which can be quite delicate. So yes, it's adjustable and you'll be able use it for the project you listed.

The PDF on installation describes roof nails, and siding nails. http://www.jameshardie.com/pdf/install/hardieplank-hz5.pdfDepending on the substrate, installation will vary. This is a roofing nail gun which has worked quite well for me, and may possibly work on this siding, if piercing and holding are the only considerations but it is likely it is not the best choice generally for this material.

Shouldn't be a problem. It clearly states that it will fire 1 3/4" nails that are wire collated. Just double check your angle and diameter.

I bought nails on Amazon to go with it for cheap. And I'm pretty sure it would work for building a deck we used it with treated lumber to make 3 garden boxes and a sandbox with lid and it was great. Hope this helps

I used it with trim work. Structural work with a brad nailer may not be good.

It will but it is going to recycle allot, maybe after every 2 or 3 shots. Nail penetration will depend on what kind of wood. Oak is denser than pine. A 3 gal compressor would work better and drive longer and thicker nails but for small jobs and infrequent use it will do You could also check out Harbor Freight.

This is a finish nailer. You are going to want a framing nailer and use ring shank galvanized nails. Check out the bostitch f28ww

In order to use finishing nails you will have to use the PC Model FN250SB finishing nailer. The BN200C brad nailer can handle up to 2-inch 18 gauge brads. In regards to whether it will countersink, the answer is yes it will. In my humble opinion it is an ideal tool for building small projects. I too am old school, but quickly adapted to the convenience, speed, and neatness of using a brad nailer. Good luck!!

It does well with 2" brads into plaster/lathe, drywall, wood, or soft platics. Brads will not work into brick, no matter what type of nailer you use.Brads are very thin. They will bend if you try to drive them into brick or concrete.

This nailer only shoots 15.5 or 16 gauge nails. I used 16 gauge nails to install my 5/8 bamboo. Worked great.

1.5" nails will not work with this gun. You need a positive placement gun for the hanger nails. The only framing nailer I know of that also does 1.5" positive placement nails is the Bostitch: http://www.amazon.com/BOSTITCH-F21PL-Positive-Placement-Magnesium/dp/B000A79HWA/ref=pd_sim_sbs_hi_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=0PR44BHE2G14VH0NKF9F

Yes. If the material is particle board adjust the depth on the nailer so the nail just penetrates the surface.

I'm sorry, I really have no idea. I have not used it as a nailer, only for driving in tent pegs.

I used it with plaster and lathe walls. It is able to find nails quite deep in the wall so it is fit for this purpose.

Not made for that!!I love this gun , good for small projects..When you dont want to pull out compressor..I try to install 400' of crown molding once and stooed to set the nails right..Wood floor is much harder and it will not work..

I wouldn't, even though it probably could be used. This model of nailer drives 16 gauge wire nails, or finish nails. They have very small heads that would drive too far into the material. It would be better to use the construction grade nailer which drives nails with larger, flatter heads. The 8 penny equivalent nail should be used for sheathing like 1/2" OSB.
