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

Answer:	It's like a hammer, not a nail gun. It drives nails that are already partly nailed in.

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:	Will this nailer drive 2d nails
Answer:	Thank you for your questions! The size of the flap opening will not match the exact size of the flap, as part of the flap is held above the opening area.

The door will come with a single flap; a second large size flap can be purchased separately here- https://www.amazon.com/PetSafe-Replacement-PAC11-11039-Tinted-Magnetic/dp/B000WJ2GJ2/
Question:	Can you sink old nail heads deeper for sanding a floor
Answer:	cut out: 6.25 by 7.125 overall: about 9 by 7.5
Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	Yes, cat or dog can push it open from the inside or outside. Easy for them to use. My cat likes that the door has a transparent area around the door's PetSafe wording so she can peek outside to see if it's safe (no dogs or people around) before venturing out. Works great!
Question:	can I get a leather glove for the tool
Answer:	Yes, there is. You will need to call the company for the correct numbers. I have got before but cannot remember the number to order.
