What the Bostitch F28WW Framing Nailer Is Used For
This is a full-size framing tool. Use it for wall framing, floor and roof sheathing, subfloors, decks, trusses and fences. The strong drive makes it a good fit for LVL and other engineered lumber.
Choosing the Right Bostitch F28WW Nails
The F28WW takes 28 degree wire weld clipped head nails from 2 inch to 3-1/2 inch long. Use 3 inch or 3-1/4 inch nails for most stud framing and shorter nails for sheathing. Galvanized nails are the better choice for decks, fences and other outdoor work. Review the size range above and add a box of nails to your order so you're ready to work.
How to Load and Use
- Disconnect the air hose before loading.
- Pull back the pusher and slide a stick of 28 degree nails into the magazine.
- Release the pusher so it rests behind the nails.
- Set your compressor between 70 and 120 PSI and connect the hose.
- Fire a test nail into scrap and use the push-button depth setting until the head sits flush.
- Press the nose against the work and pull the trigger.
Care, Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Add a few drops of pneumatic tool oil to the air inlet each day unless your manual says otherwise. Drain your compressor tank often and keep the nose and magazine clean. To clear a jam, disconnect the air, remove the nails from the magazine, open the nose and pull out the bent nail with pliers. If nails sit too high or sink too deep, adjust the depth setting or your air pressure.
28 Degree Framing Nailer vs Coil Framing Nailer
A stick nailer like the F28WW has a slim, straight magazine that fits between studs and into tight corners. A coil nailer holds more nails per load but is bulkier. If you frame in tight spaces, a 28 degree framing nailer is easy to handle. If you want fewer reloads, review our Bostitch N80 coil framing nailer.
