nailgun nails

I have a compressor operated nail gun using 34 degree paper collated nails. Apparently gas operated guns use 33 degree nails. Will they work in my gun?

Buy them from a reputable source and return them if they don't work.

See if the store will give you a small sample. Around here, sometimes we do that. Another idea is look for a shop that fixes these guns, and take yours into them and ask. They probalby have some 33 degree nails they could test on.

Personally, I'd guess they will work OK. But that's a guess.

I looked up 33 and 34 degree nails in nail guns.....on the internet. It seems many guns shoot 33 and up nails.......to 34 or. Look on the internet.... I enclose a brief sentence from the search and this is what I found. jloomis

If you have to buy them why not just buy the right ones?

It might be that the 'right' ones are significantly more expensive, or more difficult to find?

Asked the expert and apparently the 34 degree gun uses anything from 30 to 34 degrees.
