This nailer uses brads. The head of the brad is rectangular. I have found this to be an excellent tool that is both durable and reliable. I hope this helps.

Be careful, as the reviews for three different models are bunched together... paper, plastic and wire collated, or model NR90ADPR - 35 degree paper collated clipped head, then model NR90AE(S) - 21 degree plastic collated round head and finally model NR90AF - 28 degree wire collated offset round head.I also was confused until I realized the reviews were for three models and hope this helps. That said, I went to the Hitachi website... that by the way, is not a com, but ca for Canada and read the specs, as well as the owner manuals for each.

You can use any clip. 6,18, 25, 35. I bought a 25 dart rotary clip and it works fine and have used 18 dart clips too.

I use the Paslode paper collated 30 degree nails. I believe there is a slight variation between the round head paper collated nails and the clipped head (which I don't use).

The handle is oval, not round as the previous user stated. It is probably hollow with a cap on the end but is very sturdy feeling. These items have a very comfortable feel to them.

Swivel head is always better except this one is very compact in size and that is the appeal. Red is is almost a non issue as you can easily edit it out with many software programs.

Round. Great utility tool. You can do many things with this one small package.

This clip swivel can be used in either position. See which position is comfortable for you.

Correct, it is round. Make sure if you have the round bore that you have the correct size. I made that mistake. Lol

Yes. the clip rotates and has click stops to hold it in the rotated position you prefer.

One uses a round head nail and the othed a nail head that is clipped on one side. Don't bug a clipped head, most building codes require round head...clipped head nails are getting harder to find...

The base of the toothbrush is round, the base of the brush head is square with a round opening for the toothbrush itself. Hope this answers your question.

I don't know if there is a stiffness difference between the round & square head shapes. Mine is "round"

None of the "answers" really answer the question. Of course, eBay or Amazon sells the ones with the wider flat heads. What is the exact Url or model number so one doesn't end up with the same smaller diameter ones.

The piston is different for driving the 2 different types of nails. They are not interchangeable. In some areas the clipped head nailsare not allowed because of local construction codes. The clipped head nails are also becoming harder to find if you have this type of nailer.The nail load for clipped head is more dense because the nails are closer together than the round head.Recommendation: do not waster you time with clipped head.

the small round container has a rounded edge. the large oval one is not rounded but is not really sharp--smoothed so it doesn't cut with normal pressure.

No, but some nail manufacturers make a round head nail specially for a clipped head nailer. In particular..... Paslode and pnuefast. Possibly others. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000B66PVQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?qid=1394623985&sr;=8-7π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
