Questions & Answers

What is the reason for various degrees in nail guns
ByDec 28, 2024
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

Nail guns are angled to allow for easier access in tight spaces. The degree of the nail gun refers to the angle of the nail magazine relative to the driver. For example, a 21-degree nail gun is typically used for framing because the steeper angle allows for easier nailing between studs. A 30-34 degree nail gun is better suited for sheathing, siding, and other applications where a shallower angle is needed.

Far too long...nearly 10 months so far which is far too long. Such non-responsiveness is a disincentive to purchase this.

      Does this nailer fit in 16 o.c. stud bays for nailing blocking?
      ByFeb 20, 2023
      1 Answer | 
      Answer This Question

      This nailer has dimensions of 8 inches (Depth) x 24 inches (Height) x 16 inches (Width). Standard 2x4 stud bays at 16" on center have an interior cavity width of 14.5". Since the nailer's width is 16", it will not fit within a standard 16" o.c. stud bay.

      Yes, Framing nails ranging 30 to 34 Degree will work in the Numax SFR3490. The Grip Rites you listed will be no problem.

        You must use clip-head nails.

        By|Oct 16, 2023

          I just bought this gun and used these nails for my project. I also used the Grip Rite 3" galvanized and 3" bright. No problems with any of them. Built a shed with it and never had a jam.

              No, this is a 30 to 34 degree Clipped head Nailer. Full head nails are 21 degree and will not work.

                Powerful and easy to use
                Framing nail guns tend to be rather large in size, but the 34 degree angle on the nail tray will help out in the tighter places. It uses the cliphead style of nails. The gun is fairly simple to use, no assembly is required. Stick some nails in the tray, plug it into your air compressor and you are ready to go. It seems durable and I am sure it will last me a long time. The only complaint I have is that it did not come with a case. If the tool came with a case I would have given it five stars. Without a case it makes it awkward to store on a shelf with all my other tools that have cases. I will probably end up making a case for it.

                Hard to Find 34 degree nails Do Not Buy
                Most common nails sold in store is 21 degree - which makes this similar to a foreign car

                  Couldn’t ask for more. Especially for the price
                  This nail gun has done everything I’ve needed it to do so far and has saved me hours of my time. The only bad reviews that I’m seeing is people not being able to find nails but there are multiple options on the Home Depot website and they ship them to your house for free in just a couple days so I don’t understand what people are complaining about. It’s a great option if you already have a air compressor and don’t use one enough to justify spending $400 plus on a battery powered one
