Your nailer uses 18 guage straight nails, from 5/8" to 2" long. As long as you meet these requirements it doesn't matter if they are basic bright, galvanized or staniless nails. If you Google or Bing search "18 guage stainless steel nails" you will find several mail order places that carry the nails you need. Not very many places carry stainless steel nails in stock because of their cost. Unless you live in an area where their use is predominant you will have to order them.

SOURCE: How do you safely remove jammed nail gun?

Not sure exactly what Bostitch framer model you have, but if it is powered by compressed air, as long as you remove the air hose from the nail gun, there should be no risk of the nail gun firing while you remove the jammed nail. There should be a way to access the driver area from the top of the nail gun, even via a latch or a couple screws. Remove the top part of the driver area and that should give you access to the jammed nail, which you can remove. Use long nose pliers or something similar if the nails are really stuck.

SOURCE: will bosch nail guns operate with Paslode brand nails?

The F28WW takes 28Deg nails that are collated with wire, so your nails won't work in that gun. The N80SB is also a 28Deg nailer so your 30 Deg nails won't work in that gun either. Sorry about the bad news but it looks like your going to have to spring for new nails

Why does my new Makita dbn600 brad gun will not go deep enough with the rubber protector on.

Makita and Dewalt can being used with similar nails of other brands ? some sellers will you do believe but i can say by marketing technical updates Makita and Dewalt have very rare strict tolerance on dimensions but only original nails will and must working without problems , and 2nd choice nails have allways an other thickness or other kind of bonding they are made of. , use only the nails of the brand you working with if you have or MAKITA or DEWALT use the nails for the brand. otherwise the nailbrads will not slide smoothly its very critical made the last years more and more models of the brand have restrictions and get very fast troubles with cheap homebrands of hardware store parties. USE ONLY ORIGINAL delivered by the new Makita and Dewalt tools. otherwise if not working read the user manual if no succes go for warranty if its not work correct .

Have makita BATTERY nail gun. Trying to nail fibre cement exterior cladding to wooden framing. It is just starting to bend the nails and only going half in. Remembering this is a battery Makita nail gun

The nails may be to light gauge for fibre cement board as this board is quite hard to penetrate so the nails will start bending before they are fully in.

My makita an451 roof nailer keeps shooting 2 nails I've tried 2 different brands of nails

Nailers that use strips of nails (one nail directly behind the other) will sometimes drive two nails at once and is caused by damage to the driver. The nails are so close together that the driver will hit the first and part of the second nail head. Coil nailers, as your an451, use nails seperated by welded wire making it very difficult the the driver to hit the second nail. Usually when a coil nailer shoots two nails, it is acutally the trigger valve that acutates twice (two very rapid fires). Two very rapid fires is caused by faulty trigger valve. I have seen a roofing coil nailer fire one nail and a second nail drops out of the gun. Caused by weak / malfunction of nail feeder or wire used to weld nails together is too thick.

Nail Gun cost

A good-quality starter set, including both a compressor and a small nail gun, can be bought for around 200 US dollars (USD). More sophisticated models can reach 1000 USD or more. Optional features such as a hard-shell case, safety trigger, and depth adjustment can drive the price even higher. For one-time jobs, a nail gun can also be rented at hardware stores and home repair centers.
