Questions & Answers

Is this nailer capable of using finishing nails as well? Do they countersink the brads and the I have one more thing to add. Do you think 16GA is better? What do you think? 18 or not? A small project like building a bird house. I once again appreciate your help. It's my first time using a nailer. I went to school in the old days. Make sure you use nail sets, and the like. Oh well, there goes my age once again. What's up...? Ha ha ha ha tha...?

PC Model FN250SB finishing nailer must be used if you intend to use finishing nails. You can use the BN200C brad nailer to nail two brads at a time There are 18 gauge brads with a diameter of 1 inch. regard to whether it will countersink, the answer is yes. The company's software is suitable for small projects, according to my humble opinion. It is true that I am old school myself, but I quickly saw the advantages of using a brad nailer in terms of convenience, speed, and neatness. Hope you have a good time!

Where can I find the size brads that go ?

I have either an inch or a inch and a half right now, Leo, but I am not within reach of the tool. You can use a nailer to secure 25 inch brads. Thanks for reading I hope it was helpful.

Is it possible to use Bostich brads ?

There are no 18ga brads that can't be used with 18ga rods.

Are staples able to be shot from this gun? Would you mind telling me what size staples you used?

In fact, the only nail gauge used for 2" and up is 18 gauge. It is better to get a staple gun instead of a stapler/nailer combination.

Selected User Reviews For PORTER-CABLE Nail Gun, Pneumatic, 2-Inch, 18GA (BN200C)

I was blown away by how good this nail gun was even for a beginner

5/5

I also used it to attach the trim around the room as well as put together all the new kitchen cabinets. It has not jammed or caused any issues for me to use different size nails. The nails are not indicated on any of them when they are low on nails, so I would love it if there was an indicator that showed when they are out. A slide out check is all that is needed. The air compressor makes air exhale and makes the sensor work. If you think you have the hole nailed, you still don't. You don't see me as a contractor, can you? I too am a fan of the nail gun despite being a newbie. To mark the arrow on both sides of the gun, I used a white paint pen. I need to use black on black arrows rather than white on white).

We have been providing flawless service for four years now

4/5

After years of putting off purchasing a nailer, I finally did buy one after thinking that I would get by without one. My mistake was not to drive in such a small brad with the other hand. The ability to do that with one hand without bending it or denting the wood is amazing. It's the cherry on top to be able to customize the depth of the head. The brads I have run have all been different lengths and I have never encountered any Its width does have one drawback, which is that you cannot shoot a brad straight into a wall or partition due to its width. In order to shoot across the width, I must shoot at an angle, which I am not always comfortable with. Wouldn't it be great if it could be made I guess it's not the end of the world.

It was tempting to purchase a lesser known brand in order to save a few bucks

5/5

But I opted for the bargain guns because they provided good value and performance. After reading a number of reviews, I was impressed by what they said about Porter Cable. Using the reviews as a guide, I decided to spend a little extra on my purchase. I was delighted with the performance of this unit out of the box. It produced amazing results on my cabinet and shelving project. Control of the depth of the nails was extremely accurate and repeatable, as long as you kept the tip firmly on target. When I was working with the gun, I accidentally dropped it on concrete. The computer did not suffer any damage and did not change its You did a great job!.

I highly recommend this product

5/5

The nail gun is great! After I install floors, I install many trim pieces, and this gun delivers perfect finishing nails every time. If you use 100 PSI and the correct depth setting, this nail gun will drive the perfect nail in the first try. I'm impressed with the durability and performance of this product. It has yet to jam once since I have used this gun. I hope I don't jinx myself by saying this. This is one of the cheaper and more reasonably priced guns on the market, so it sort of falls between the two. When not in use, this gun also comes with a protective accessory case that keeps it secure. It has exceeded my expectations.

This brad nailer is dependable and durable

5/5

Many years ago I used porter cable products when I built my home. No product I've ever used from them has disappointed me. With any tool, you need to learn how to use it properly You will be taken care of if you take care of it. A few of the PC staplers and nail guns I purchased more than 20 years ago are still in use today with only minor repairs having been required. Despite their prices being competitive, they still offer excellent value for money. It would be a pleasure to recommend PC products to anyone looking for quality nail guns or staplers.

Thanks! It works like a charm! The tool has been used for several projects, from putting up baseboard trim to building wood projects

4/5

This is an easy device to use, except for the depth dial, which can sometimes be finicky. On the same wood, you get slightly different depths. It's nothing to be afraid of. We recommend practicing on a test before using it on a real.

It is an excellent value for the price

5/5

I originally thought the electrical cord was included (don't ask), but decided to purchase a Stanley 2-Prong Power Cable instead Several gals. There are three types of air compressors.

No other cable can compare to Porter Cable! A lot of years ago, I bought the refurbished model to replace the one that finally broke after many years of use

5/5

My old one was taken to our local hardware repair guy, and even though he wasn't able to diagnose the problem (this guy is very experienced), he said Porter cable was definitely the best. I'd like the new features in this model, which is an update from the one I was using before.
