Does the brad nailer use any brand name nails$

I've shot Hitachi and Porter Cable through it, which is, I think, mostly what you'll find at the Big Box home improvement stores right now, with no issues.

I have used brands sold at the major hardware dealers (Home Depot and Lowe's) without any trouble...not even a single misfire.

Not had any problem with any brand. Just make sure you get the right gauge.

I purchased the nailer specifically for 18GA brads. 16GA can split small pieces of wood, quarter round, etc. I'm retired and use mine for interior trim and small woodworking projects using brads with glue or just brads. Once you use a pneumatic nailer, you will seldom, if ever, use a hammer and nail again. There is a depth adjustment on all nailers. Test the adjustment using a piece of scrap of same wood. Obviously, a brad won't sink as deeply into oak as pine. Happy nailing.

No. Use only 23 gauge headless pin nails. I have used multiple brands of nails without any issues.

Uses the same driver for the staples and brad nails.. All u can do is turn down the air regulator on your air compressor or grind the driver down on the side that doesn't push out the brad nails.

Most brad nailers operate on the range you mention. This combo includes a brad nailer and that's pretty much the only thing it can power. This is really just a tire inflator with two storage tanks attached. This unit is very loud and slow to fill. There are better options for the money.

Sorry, the DA nails can not be used. The angle and head style is different than those used in Bostitch guns. The DA's have a half round head. The Bostitch nails have a "T" head. The DA nails fit Senco, Dewalt, Hitachi and Porter Cable. The FN style fit Bostitch and a few private label guns............... Not to start a war BUT, I've always been able to get Bostich nails locally, wherever I'm working.

It has a max operating pressure of 140 psi. You will need to look at your nail gun and see what it's operating Pressure Is. You won't be able to use the brad nailer that come with it as it is not designed to nail flooring.

Brad nails are formed from a fine 18 gauge wire, while finish nails are made from heavier 16 or 15 gauge wire. Finish nails are the correct choice for fastening larger crown and baseboard trim, brad nails are used to install smaller trim to help prevent splitting and to promote a cleaner looking job with less touch-up work after the nailing is done. The initial tool purchased by most customers is some kind of brad nailer to attach finish moldings. Heavier finish nails often split smaller moldings, so brads are preferred for the small trim pieces, or also for the lighter-weight moldings. Most folks who have used a hammer to drive small brads know how frustrating it can be when nails bend, and you can often ding the molding easily with the hammer. The brad nailer makes these small trim jobs a breeze with high-quality results. The brad nail also has a smaller head, which may not need to be concealed with carpenter's putty. When a nail is not puttied over, it's called a "shiner". Sometime a shiner is so small, it's difficult to be noticed. Brad nails leave such a small shiner, the putty touch-up may not be necessary. Of course, it all depends on the application, or how easy it will be for people to see the surfaces that you have nailed. The driven finish nail is almost always puttied over to conceal the shiner because it leaves a more visible hole in the wood surface. Again, for larger and heavier moldings the finish nail is the correct fastener to use. The finish nail offers more support and withdrawl resistance than the brads making them a better choice for the bigger trim installation. Most finish carpenters own and use both tools; a brad nailer for small moldings, and a finish nailer for larger base or crown moldings. Hope this helps.

I can't really say but I have some staples here that was given to me used in gun from Lowes. So I would think they would. I have a dewalt brad gun and ordered Senco brads and work fine.When you order the gun below it will show you some suggestions of what others have ordered with the product.Hope this helps.

Yes, I did use these nails in this nail gun. However, I found another brand of nails at my local hardware store, for much cheaper.

i'm no expert, but from what i know a brad nail looks like a "regular" nail only is made from a thinner wire and has a smaller head. It does not have a U shape like a staple does. A nail gun can use other types of nails, like finish nails which are heavier gauge and have a larger head and most probably you have to putty the holes...I hope this helps, but as i said i'm no expert :)

no, my experience has been the fence panels need thicker nails than the nailer uses. nails need larger heads. so brad nailer is unsuitable for fence panels

No, there are no brand name nailers actually made in the USA. Unfortunatley we have to be content buying foriegn made tools. This is a good tool though I am a contractor and have used about every major brand on the market over the years. All senco red housing guns are their industrial quality tools and have great power and have proven reliability. The gray guns are the homeowner guns

If you are referring to the same nails as a hitachi nv65ah then yes it uses the same nails

Three finish nailers. Regular finish nails, pin nails, and micro pins. I bought this Hitachi and I am having a lot of trouble with it. Nails will not shoot consistently. I would look at Senco variety.
