User questions & answers

Question:	What CFM and pressure are required
Answer:	You don't use an air pump--you use an air compressor. Set the pressure for 110 pounds.
Question:	What is the operating pressure requirement for this palm nailer
Answer:	It's like a hammer, not a nail gun. It drives nails that are already partly nailed in.
Question:	how do you set this up with an air pump
Answer:	It’s advertised as compatible with Ridgid heads. I got a Ridgid brand spade head and works fine. So it will probably work if you get a Ridgid brand spiral cutter or any other Ridgid head
Question:	where do i get the nails
Answer:	This machine can cut through tree roots.

The Bostitch story

Originally known as the Boston Wire Stitcher® Company, the first syllables of the words "Boston" and "Stitcher" were joined to make "Bostitch®", and the name was adopted for product use after the manufacture of machines began. Thomas Briggs, the founder, invented in 1896 a new kind of user friendly Wire Stitcher designed for fastening books, calendars, checks, hat boxes, etc. This machine made a staple or stitch as it was called from a coil of wire. It was called the Boston Wire Stitcher and the company was named the Boston Wire Stitcher Company. In 1903 the company invented a foot operated stapling machine that used pre-formed staples. These staples were not collated but had to be slid off of a track into the magazine of the machine. Later they were collated with paper and then glue. Soon the Boston Wire Stitcher Company was developing various kinds of staplers for industrial markets. In 1930 the Bostitch® Sales Company was formed to sell Bostitch® products, and in 1948 the Boston Wire Stitcher Company officially became Bostitch®, Inc. The first Coil Nailer from Bostitch, the N2, came on the scene in 1965, and the rest is history. Today, Bostitch sells a huge range of nailers, compressors, and other products, and is a leader in the industry.

User questions & answers

Question:	Has Bostitch improved their instruction manual
Answer:	Their manual is still the WORST! It's worth knocking 1-2 stars off just because of this. On top of that, the Bostitch website was just as bad! I'm left with going to YouTube to try and figure this out.
Question:	Seller: "Power Source corded-electric
Answer:	There is an error in the "Technical Details" portion of the Product Information for this item in the Amazon web page. It lists the Power Source as "corded-electric". That is wrong. It is pneumatically powered; i.e. it needs to be connected to a compressed air source. This is a great product. I've used mine in construction framing into tight spaces and have driven 3-4 inch nails into Douglas Fir with no problem.
Question:	What is the smallest size nail that can be driven with this tool
Answer:	With care and patients you can use very small nails provided you use the smaller diameter tip and don't mind clearing a jam or two.
Question:	aside from the accessories, how is the actual nailer different than the PN50 ? Heard the PN50 is half the size of this one
Answer:	The PN50 is very compact, but it's power corresponds to it's size. If you have to drive a few 10d tico nails, the PN50 is useful for tight spaces. However, if you're trying to nail 16d nails for seismic straps, the PN50 will take alllll day to drive those nails. Each tool has a specific use and is best in certain circumstances.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this nailer have to be oiled
Answer:	I oil mine after use it can't hurt it i think
Question:	What is the largest size(penny) nail thiis can handle
Answer:	I found the nailer will handle most of the Grip-Rite nails available at Home Deport. I've used joist hanger galvanized (1 and 1/2") with no problem and gone up to 10d with no problems at all. It's more about the size of the nail head is where you could run into problems.
Question:	Does this nailer come with a storage box and/or spare heads, etc
Answer:	Just the nailer
Question:	Can I use for 1-1/2 nails
Answer:	Yes you can. Just need to watch the head size of the nail.I used it to drive 3 1/2" frame nails into joist hangars in a tight spot and some of the heads were to big to fit into the nail port but was still able to drive them.short nails you probably can't hang onto if they don't fit down into the port. Roofing nails the head will be to big to fit, but regular frame nails should gocommons work better as they are heaver guage.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is thus good for freezing weather
Answer:	This oil is perfectly fine to use in freezing weather. However, the real issue in freezing weather is not the oil but the formation of condensation. If you keep the air compressor, air tool, air hose, and oil warm you can prevent or reduce the amount of condensation that's created. This will allow your air tools to be more reliable and reduce the wear/tear on the air tools and your air compressor.
Question:	can i use this in a lubricator unit that puts oil into the air line
Answer:	It should for air tools anyway. BUT, you don't want to over oil air tools.
Question:	Will this work well for Impact Wrenchs
Answer:	Yes it will Just a couple of drops works great.
Question:	Is this the right oil I need for any air nail gun
Answer:	Hey, This tool oil can be and is recommended for senco nailers but that is only if they are a tool that needs oil.

User questions & answers

Question:	Hello from pensacola florida my question is can this thing take off a tire if not can you point me to on that dose thanks
Answer:	In the shop I use my 3/8 impact wrench from dewalt with a 20v 5ah battery and i can go almost 2 days before having to charge my battery and i use it for almost everything. It will take off tires, pull headbolts, engine mounts, t-case bolts, and so on. I would recommend if you're working on your vehicle getting the impact wrench with impact sockets. I put about $500 into what i use and it hasn't let me down yet in almost 4 years. With the wrench you won't need the adapter from screw bit to socket so that will save you a headache if you loose it.
Question:	How many inch pounds will this impact driver provide
Answer:	This impact has almost 1500 in-lbs of torque. Very good impact and you can beat the hell out of them they definitely last.
Question:	Does it come with 2 batteries
Answer:	Yes it comes with two batteries
Question:	Does the drill have a hammer setting
Answer:	The drill combo with the hammer setting is DCK299. However, I will say I thought I needed a hammer drill, it turns out it’s useless. An impact drill gives pulses of force laterally (in the direction of rotation) to turn big bolts, a hammerdrill delivers the same force forward. It turns out that this force is so minimal it’s basically useless. If you actually need a hammer drill what you really need is a rotary hammer. Much greater forward bang. A hammer drill is a bit like a vibrating razor. Only useful in masonry and then it goes just as fast without.
