Clipped heads are just that, part of the head is clipped off and they can stack them close together.
Full head are spaced with plastic or wire.
I don't see a problem with clipped heads for any application as the nails have glue, the rate of speed they shoot in heats up the glue and they don't move. |

Nails closer together makes me ask are clipped head more prone to jamming ? at first it sounds better .. .. again ,, thanks for all this ,. must be painful to some . |

pretty sure the round head will have more space between the nails on the clip, therefore less nails in each clip, as opposed to the tightly packed clipped heads.

what are you using ? Seems clipped is a good idea ,,more on a strip ,,, Unless they are jamming or a lot less holding power .. |

I have used the Bostich(my neighbors) and it has stick nails clipped heads so many more to the clip, they are held together by wire. I also have Macs' old Hitachi that uses nails held together by plastic and there is a big space between them so less nails, the box is bigger that they come in.
either way, it's faster than hand nailing. When I framed houses in 1982-83 we hand nailed everything because the boss hated the guns since they broke down a lot.
I do some remodeling still and have the compressor so it helps to have a gun.

I read online some building inspectors do not want clipped head used in their town ? They want round head because they supposedly hold better (hurricanes).. Said the clip nails are cheaper to buy because they are not as expensive to make ,. I'm learning alot from you guys ,, already made 2 purchases I learned from here ,, compressor/finish nailer .. I just have to decide on the framer clip or round head ??? I'll tell you guys what I got ,, where I checked and what I paid for others ,,,further nail gun info..
Clipped or round head ????

No big deal, but stupid... Get one with a swivel.

Eddie,
We didn't talk about hoses.... New light weight ones are the cats azz. The old style ruber coated ones are too heavy to be dragging around after you've used the new ones.

I was interested in the Hitachi NR83A2 .. Amazon $279.00
I ended up getting the Hitachi NR90AE ..Amazon $182.99 (free ship), I saved 100 and it shoots 2" - 3 1/2" nails ..
I decided from friends here and others I know outside of here . One guy I know frames houses all the time running a crew all using the Hitachi NR83A2 ... no problems ,,, no jams ever but insist on spending the few extra bucks , always buying the Hitachi nails . Decided to go the full round head to (Mac,,others) .. I'll just wear eye protection for the flying plastic and watch who's around me ..

good compressor, as for the nail gun I hate stick guns, the plastic things always hit me in the face, I run a hitachi nv83 coil gun, I've had it since 96 and have never done a thing to it except put oil in it, my best gun hands down, also holds more nails than a stick gun,

I saw that Raven ..... Do you need to have a moisture trap on your compressor to run a nail gun ?

no from what i've seen you need to blast out the air
occasionally and then keep using that drop or two of oil in
the fitting... to keep internal parts oiled
obviously, if your running a compressor on a very humid day
your gonna be compressing air with a higher moisture rate
than average...

When I used air guns in the field we used to give them a few drops a day of gun oil and blow the water out of the compressor at the end of each day. I would have a few concerns about rarely used air guns having issues, mine have sat for years and need new o rings now I'm sure. In fact, I think I loaned the framer and roofer out years ago. Hum?
