The clue is in the name “Positive Placement” Put another way, you can be confident that the nail is going to be fired exactly where you intend it to fire. You’ll also want to use various nails all the way through to galvanised nails and even sometimes stainless steel nails for those applications where you do need to be confident rust won’t be an issue down the road. These are the finest nails (they’re pretty much pins) and are, for the most part, used to attach super delicate moldings as you wait for the glue to set/cure. There are a couple of codes that require you to use full head nails over clipped for framing projects.

Pin nailers are generally smaller, lighter-weight nailers. Sometimes known as “Headless Pinners”, “Pin Guns”, or “23 Gauge Nailers”.

Standard nail sizes range from around 25mm to 100mm but come in wide varieties to suit many applications and will vary depending on the material you want to fire through or into. Concrete Nailer Applications Nail guns for nailers like framing nail guns are collated differently so you’ll need to have an idea of what collation angle your nailer runs before you shop for nails.Indeed, your choice is quite limited when it comes to projects which need the strongest holding power like framing and sheathing.

These are the first nails that you can use for structural connections because of the way better holding power (as their gauge is quite big compared to the previous nail sizes) It can be difficult to understand all the nail gun terminology and names thrown around in the trade, especially when starting out as people often refer to the various types of nail gun in many different ways. This can depend upon not only the size of nail they can fire, but also the materials they are able to fire into, and even how the nail guns themselves are powered. There are also niche “first fix nail guns” such as concrete nailers that are used to secure metal to concrete slabs. Below is a list of some of the different types of first fix nail guns.

What you need to bear in mind here is that it is best to be guided by your local code- most codes explicitly specify the nails you should use for structural fastening. The problem with plastic collated nails is the plastic shrapnel that you have to deal with when you’re shooting them. Framing Nails are normally “clipped head” and are often available with a “Ringed Shank” for extra holding power. Typically, nails will be around 2.8mm to 3.1mm in diameter. Common nail sizes tend to range from around 50mm up to as much as 100mm. Framing Nail Gun Applications First fix nail guns are used primarily to hold structures together. One of the primary applications of first fix nail guns is in timber framing. In this context, these tools are used to join wooden beams, posts, and other structural components, creating a sturdy and robust framework. Also know as cordless nail guns, these are probably the easiest to use as they simply take their power from the battery attached to the nailer. No gas canister, air hoses or main power cord required. Put the nails in and you’re ready to go!
