If the nails were cheap, like from Menards, I would try nails from
another source.

Don't agree withe critique of Menard's nails. Used their MM brand for
years, very good quality, American made IIRC. Problem may have been
that the palm nailers don't work with air pressure too high or with
box nails. OTOH, the Craftsman Li Ion nailer handles the mean one
surprisingly well. Craftsman might be doing some serious upgrading to
their non hand tool line if this is an example. Bears watching.
