Review: New assessment-fit, finish, function very good - First, questions to Google's AI are useless. Yes, AI, there is an owner's manual/parts list online; go to NuMax website. Why didn't you know this? Like I said: Useless. I just received this tool. Examining it carefully, I was impressed with its construction, fit and finish. I did not disassemble it. Function with the provided nails and staples was flawless even in very hard 1/4" bamboo flooring and 3/4" oak. Longevity unknown; stay tuned. I will update if I have further information.
Review: Appears OK and works well with 1" to 2". 18g brads. - I don't know about bounce back with this or jams as I've had neither. It is quiet, easy to control on a small airline or a coiled air line. I'd like a hanging hook for it. I don't see a safety trigger if you hung this on a belt. Probably best use is for light wood assembly. Too big for small picture frames - a Pinner would be better choice for that. For medium to large picture frames, ok unless you know how to make proper woodworking joints which would be better. Few can do that. Sets brads just a bit below the surface - perfect. I run it at 80 to 90psi on a very quiet compressor. If you have the air, this is easier to manipulate that the electric ones as it is lighter. The only safety is a plunge foot by the nail port. Do not rest this on your knee.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work with 1-1/2-Inch by 18 Gauge 5/16-Inch Crown Staples?**
A: Nails ranging from 3/8” – 2” and Staples ranging from ½” to 1-5/8.

**Q: Does it work with staples that the width less then 1/4-inch? like 5 mm width.  (1/4-inch = 6.3 mm) or only exactly 1/4-inch width staples**
A: As long as the nails fit in to the railing or nail housing, it should work.  I have used it to nail half inch board and some 4 by 4 pices to a wood frame and it worked like a champ. Also, cut a dry wall and made a 2.5 ' by 1.5' door frame using this nail gun. I used 1 to 2" nails in my project.  This is a very handy nail gun with excellent price.  Even if did couple of projects with it, you got the money back.

**Q: Can someone recommend an air compressor to pair with this tool? Thank you!**
A: I purchased the California Air Tools CAT-6310 Ultra Quiet and Oil-Free 1.0 Hp 6.3-Gallon Steel Tank Air Compressor.  I had to replace my previous air compressor and it was loud, like most air compressors.  I saw a video on the California Air Tools and I was sold.  My air compressor is so quiet, I can keep it in the room I am working in.  Produces the air pressure I need do complete my jobs.

**Q: Narrow Crown staples?  Are those the Arrow T-50 staples?**
A: no they are not.
