Need help with nail gun question

[chirpychippy]

Same question as in previous post but asked a different way.

To fit the cladding I need 2.5mm x 60mm Annular Ringed nails.

Now I have a Hitachi 1st Fix nail gun which I think could be compatible with this nail or a Paslode IM65 which I'm sure isn't.

Does anyone have experience if this nail and associated nail gun please.

Aren't 2.5mm nails normally the ones that come on a coil for the lighter duty nailers?

Possibly, but I've never seen one, despite there existence. I'm going 63mm SS Brad's fired out of an IM65......

What is the model number of the Hitachi?

I recently "got" a plaslode IM350+ It goes down as low as 2.5mm * 50mm on ring shank nails.

On a side note, would a first fix nailer be too powerful for tongues and no finesse for face nailing?

TBH, I don't know, I haven't used mine yet.

A mate had acquired one (legally). I gave him a discount to hang some doors in return for the previously owned IM350+.

The only other pin gun I own is a 18g compressor based gun, and the brads are to small for exterior work.

My first fix would punch a dent into the cladding face everytime it drives a nail and as far as the tongue is concerned it would definitely split it.

I witnessed a "Carpenter" fix oak weatherboard to a garage using a first fix nail gun, the result was shocking, horrendous.

On finishes the first fix should be left in the shed.
