Pro-Tip

Pro-Tip: When firing 2-inch brad nails into dense hardwoods (like oak or maple), utilize the tool-less depth adjustment dial to increase the driving depth slightly. Additionally, ensure your air compressor is set closer to the 120 PSI maximum. This combination ensures the brad nail head sinks cleanly below the surface of the hard wood, leaving a perfect hole for wood putty without having to follow up with a hammer and nail set.
