The HP118K takes 23 Gauge Pin Nails, 1/2" Pins, 3/4" Pins & 1" Pins **Q: Why won't the 1/2" pins stay in place when ever you drive one in, next one jumps from groove?** A: I have used both extremes in pin length, 1 3/16 and the shortest I think was 3/8, all with no problem. If the "next one jumps from the groove" as you say, are the pins still in the colated (glued together) row or have the ones you're using been separated before they were loaded into the nailer. Also are you using Bostitch pins or an off brand? I have always used Bostitch pins and I am careful not to separate them before they go into the nailer. This combination seems to always work fine for me. P.A. Schuster **Q: Can this nailer go through oak - e.g. some oak cove or shoe molding?** A: This nailer will go through oak but I had to crank up the air pressure to above 95 psi to make sure it set the pins below the surface. Try it out on a piece of scrap and see what it does for you. **Q: What's the difference with other same products?** A: Hello, this was a gift so I'm not sure what the difference is but the person I brought this for swears behind this company name ## Frequently Bought Together - BOSTITCH Pin Nailer 23 Gauge, 1/2-Inch to 1-3/16-Inch (HP118K) , Black - BOSTITCH 23 Gauge PIN Nail Project Pack 900 - BOSTITCH Pin Nails, Headless, 23GA, 1-Inch, 3000-Pack (PT-2325-3M) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/3275409-bostitch-23-ga-headless-pin-nailer-kit](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/3275409-bostitch-23-ga-headless-pin-nailer-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
