   Brian;

   I used the 3-1/2 inch with my FR350 and didn't have any problems with them.

   The Stanley AllSpecs will work in the F350s and the earlier 5350. Strips dont hold up as well, also it takes 3 strips of Stanleys rather than 2 Paslodes to fill the gun. Stanley seems to have a thicker nail than Paslode does and a bigger variety, but Paslode has many more nails in a case. Around here, if you buy your guns and nails through Fasteners Inc. they will service them for free- lifetime of the tool. Be wary of the Paslode coil nailer, theres only one or two brands besides theirs that will work, its an excellent, but expensive gun to operate because of the nails- around $50.oo/case.

   *Ooops, thought you were talkin' Paslode, didnt see the PC in the "PC FR350" The AllSpecs say on the box what brand nailers they will work in, there may be 3 different cases of .131" 3 1/2" nails that are all different, so read the chart on the side. Found out today, after going up and down aisle with no luck, that PC 18ga nails will work in Paslode trim nailers if you cant find factory strips.

   Brian,

   I also have a PC FR350 gun. I have used the All-Specs nails in several different lengths with success. For interior remodel work I prefer the Paslode nails because they are collated with paper tape instead of shrapnel-prone hard plastic. Glasses will protect your eyes, but not the adjacent hard floors when the collation chips get ground in by foot traffic. The stuff can travel a fair distance, and also poses a threat to bystanders.

   *Can't comment on the Stanley's, but my yard stocks a generic brand, Air Nail maybe? They make a round head plastic collated nail to fit my Senco sn65. it seems that the angle of the sticks are sort of in between a Senco and a Paslode so it will work in both. My gun seems to jam when it goes from one stick to the next. It doesn't seem to happen with the genuine Senco nails. Can't really back this up with any facts, it just happens.On much the same note. How come it only jams when I'm on the top rung of a ladder on one foot holding up a big 2x with one hand?

   Stanley has a generic line of nails for pneumatic stick nailers known as All-Spec. The ones I've seen are full, round-head and plastic collated (2"-3 1/2"). They'll fit Senco's SN 60/65, Hitachi's NR83A, and Duo-Fast's CN 137 & 350. Has anyone used them? If you have, have you had any problems? I'm thinking of using them in my PC FR350 nailer.
