what is the best compatible nails for this PFR2190, is it compatible with a 22 degree nails?

I believe 20, 21 or 22 degree nails would all work. They must be non-clipped nails. I have found that the paper collated nails jam this nailgun the most. Plastic collated are better.

Sorry, I can't answer your question about 22 - degree, but I have shot over 5000 21 - degree without any major issues. I have found that my gun will not fire the last 3 nails so I just add another clip and keep on trucking.

The first responder's words are very misleading: first, I'm not sure how you would effectively load unclipped nails in this nailer, and I've had great success with 1000's of hitachi 21 deg nails (all plastic clipped). They penetrate great and they're pretty darn cheap. Secondly, I would never use 22 deg nails in a 21 deg nailer. This nailer has a fixed loading mechanism. You wouldn't load a gun magazine with bullets angled 1 degree off the angle of the barrel, right? Hope this was helpful and that this is crystal clear - 22 deg nails could ruin the nailer - why take the risk? Happy nailing!

I'm not sure if there is a standard angle for the nails but the Paslode CF325 uses 30 degree nails. Most of the other framing nailers I've seen use a different angle.

Standard 30 degree, there are a few different manufacturers that make them and they are pretty much standard stock at most lumberyards and big box stores, I used this model gun for about 8 years now and have never had a problem finding nails

I use the Bostitch 28deg. wire nails. 2"-3 1/2" work. Very common nail to find. Every lumber yard or big box store (home depot, etc.) carry them

The N62FNK-2 15 Gauge. will hold 130 nails (1.25inches to 2.5 inches in length). So you can do a lot of nailing without reloading.

I have just gone through the entire manual and can not find anything that says weather it is at 35 or 21 degrees.... sorry! But, the nails I use in the gun are as follows and are the cheapest in the hardware store (BUNNINGS) where I am in Australia. "DUO-FAST" STRIP NAILS S3.1 x 75 plastic collated. Box of 3000. Reorder code D30500. I have checked on the nail box as well and there is nothing on there either as to the degrees they are set at. I hope this helps... :)

I use the 120 and 240 grit. Remember the higher the grit number the smoother the nail will be and the less likely it will split and crack.

I did not receive any fasteners with the nail gun. I have only used 21 degree fasteners with my nail gun, without any problems.

I bought the stuff for my wife. She has no experience in using it on the type of nails you describe.Sorry

I have always used the 30 degree framing nailer and am very happy with them. I guess it is a matter of preference.

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

On the 1.5" galvanized nail, I have not used that length but any brand will work as long as it is 21 - 22 degree and plastic collated. I presently use several different brands.The metal connector nails are hardened nails used to connect steel connectors such as joist hangers, truss anchors, hurricane ties, ect, and yes they are also 21-22 degrees and plastic collated. I have only used the Bostich brand on these. They are to be used with the pointed guide that comes with the gun vs the flat guide. FYI, about 20% of the nails I put into the metal connectors missed the hole completely yet I had no problems with either the gun or the nails.

If you go to Home Depot they currently sell this nail gun and you can see it on their website as well. It's a 30 degree nail gun I have several of them. And yes they sell the nails there too. 2"-3 1/4"

I also use bostich nails mostly because that was what was available. 28 degree, FULL round head, any length from about 2 1/4 to 3 1/2 approximately. You should be careful not to get clipped head, they might work, but I don't know. At a previous job I used an unfamiliar nail gun that I thought used the Bostich full round head nails. It did not work right. It required clipped heads. This one take full round head, 28 degree.

I have used the pins that came with the nailer - I think that they are Grex - with no problems. I really like this nailer - no problems at all. The only issue I have with 23 gauge pins is that they sometimes will deflect due to the grain of the wood and if you are close to an edge they can poke out of the material.
