Will the brad nailer and the stapler be able to use shorter nails and staples?

The maximum and minimum sizes for each gun is printed on the side of each gun. You are limited to the sizes indicated on each gun.

We have two of these staplers, one short and one long and they work beautifully. Never had a problem with it. It does require specialty staples however

Typically with an engineered product you're looking to use an 18 gauge staple. This gun only accepts 15.5-16 gauge staples, so for nail-down engineered you're going to need something else.

It will be best fastened with a staple. I do believe you can use cleat nails with the gun but I would stick to the staples.

Yes. Common sense says one has to make sure the brads are long enough, and that the project is appropriate for brads, instead of nails (with a head on them). Have fun.

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

No, the nailer has no adjustments, but it seems to sense the wood density and countersink the pinhead just perfect. To get to different depths you use different lengths of pins. I have several sizes from 1/2" to 1-3/8". If you cut back on the air compression, it will leave the pinhead sticking out.

I would use cleats instead of staples if I were you. Make sure to max out your PSI for the nailer plus 10/20 PSI.

It should. The stapler works with a wide variety of staple lengths. You want a shorter staple that will drive all the way down so as to firmly press against the fabric. The harder the wood, the shorter the length needed. I got one of those "variety packs", so I could experiment. I did OK with 1/4" tongs. You may need longer depending on how heavy the fabric is.

Hi....it depends on the thickness of the wood...you can use staples or nails - the staples are regular, and the nails are small around 15mm -(0,59 inches) I use frequently this electric staple - I'm very satisfied !

The brads are 2" inch or smaller with a small head, Nails can be much larger with or without a large head.Not all brads are the same due to lack of universal specs. I bought this nailer and love it for it specific purpose (smaller projects, not large projects such as construction framing). However, prior to purchase you should go to the manufacture's web site to see what brands of brads are compatible.

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, 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

Yes, works great for small gauge fasteners such as staple guns and finish nailers. Not recommended for screw guns or air hammers.

I would have to say no, mostly because the staples wouldn't be long enough as opposed to a brad nailer.

I used it with a 3" framing nailer and 3/4" brad nailer. Didn't have any problems.

No this will not shoot staples. This gun is a type of Brad nailer which is shorter than a finish nailer for detailed thinner wood work. You may want to look for a Craftsman finish nailer / staple gun. They are the only one who makes that type of gun that I know of. It would be called a '2 in 1 finish gun' that shoots both nails and staples.
