Hey folks,
Just reasearching Framing nailers.
Does anyone have the Bostitch F33PT? I’m interested in its ability to switch between a normal nailer and one for hangers.

Anyone know if it can use Paslode clipped head nails? I posted this to the JLC forums and was told that it was easy to find nails for this gun and that it took the standard size. It seems that many of the guns are off in deg. by a bit and can still use each others nails… any experiences with this? This gun is 33deg.
thanks,
Matt

Not sure if it's the exact model, but the boys showed up at the jobsite with a new Bostitch framer kit which included the precise nose piece and looks just like the rig you're talking about.
They used it to nail out the hangers then shot Paslode hot dipped galv full head nails to put up Hardie.
Paslode claims to be 30deg. and the Bostitch claims to be 33deg.
The full head Paslode nails are offset allowing for the tight paper binding and are collated similarly to the clip heads.
