I saw 30 degree and clipped head, but what kind of nails does this take? Paper or Wire?

I believe it only takes paper. That's what I've been using for the past year.

A clipped head nail is as the name suggests part of the head is missing. This is done so more nails can be sleeved together. The drawback to a clipped headed nail is you may not pass code if you use it. In theory a full head nail has more holding power.

I found myself a pair of scissors that were metal. That was the easiest thing I could think of and seemed to work and, at least, I didn't get a shock. Let me know if that helps. @d_avery@att.net.

I used two small nails but I ran steek wire to make a handle n hang it from that

Clipped head means the head of the nail is about half the size of full rounded nails. I have used only 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 clipped nails with success. As a note, a friend construction worker told me that I should use nails from 31 to 34 degrees with this gun (easy to find anywhere). He recommended not to use nails 30 degrees or less. Great gun.

The clip measures 1/4" where the nail goes through. The nail measures 5/8" in length, leaving slightly more than 1/4" of nail to penetrate the surface. If your wire is not larger than 1/4" in diameter (the available space for the wire to go through) I think it will hold fine. I haven't opened mine yet. All measurements approximate taken through package.

Clipped head. 22.5 degree . The most common used in all framing nailers. Even the HD has them

Guillotine. Great cutter. I use this as my first choice if the paper will fit.

This nailer uses plastic collated strip nails which is 21 degree. As far as I know all plastic collated strip nails are angled between 20-22 degrees that which any of these angles can be used with this nail gun. The 35 degree paper collated nails won't fit in this nail gun.

All the nailers use different ones. They are the plastic bound nails though. Round head 21 degree

Mine didnt use any nails at all. It was dead on arrival. I had to go rent one to complete my project.

I used Bostitch 3 1/4 X 0.120 28 degree wire weld framing nails which I purchased from Home Depot or Lowes. The magazine holds 100 nails, which helps reduce the number of times you need to stop and reload. I probably used about 1500 nails and never had any problems. I suspect other 28 degree wire weld nails would also work, but the local store carried Bostitch so I used them.

Phillips head screwdriver, wire pliers. It's really simple. Just follow the line to see where the ends connect.

I don't think it will work with any kind of nails that are hooked together with plastic strips . I'm not sure if they have anything but clipped head nails that are bound together with wire

I used finishing nails. I tried heavy duty staples first but did not like how they held. The nails hold the rope much tighter to the post.

I use the Bostitch 28deg. wire nails. 2"-3 1/2" work. Very common nail to find. Every lumber yard or big box store (home depot, etc.) carry them
