I just bought the Craftsman V20 cordless brad nailer and when I’m using 2in brad nails, the nails are not completely sinking into the MDF board. They are still sticking out about .25 inch. I adjusted the depth to the deepest possible and still the same result. Any advice on what to try?
I had this problem with my older dewalt 18v nicad brad nailer and a ridgid pneumatic brad gun even on 130 psi and modified the gun by grinding a 1/16″ off the safety tip so gun head would be flush to material, still doesn’t sink em. Upgraded to dewalt 20v brad gun,and still it leaves a nail sticking out 1/16″ every now and again. I’m all dewalt, but I never thought I’d say this, may be time to try milwaukees m18 brad nailer
