Default Need a Cheap Nailer For Toe-Nailing

wrote in message

Seem like there is something wrong with
shooting a nail at an angle that cause the nail not be able to
penetrate into the wood completely.


Dollars to donuts that "something", with your particular tool, is the angle
of the head of the nail gun when toenailing.

IOW, not being in full contact with the surface of the material being
nailed, the extra distance the brad must travel is just enough to keep it
from penetrating to the desired depth.

IME, most _brad_ nailers will not toe-nail consistently. Neither of mine
will (Delta and HF), I would suspect that with those that will, it is more
or less luck of the draw.
