A:  I wouldn’t, too small, very small head. 

A:  I use different brands and the nailer works fine

A:  Yes they will

A:  The application of the nails is not limited specifically to PORTER-CABLE. However, you would need to contact the manufacturer of the nailer for specific compatibility,.

A:  PS to my answer. Watch the pressure being used by your gun so they do not go too deep Good luck

A:  The pin nails are ideal for fastening decorative molding, casing, and shoe molding.

A:  You need to be more specific in what you are asking. If you mean a 3/4 inch 4/8 plywood panel, yes, but you need to use a lot of them if you want any structural support. However, they will hold it in place fine. If you mean tacking up something light, they will work fine. Make sure you have the right depth for what you are trying to hold up. Further, make sure you are putting them in a beam. Remember, these are not designed to replace nails or screws. However, they do not create large holes either. I would not use them to frame a house or major support structures. They are what they are and to be used appropriately.
