I used these for nailing 1/2" CDX plywood sheathing for a small shed. Most of the time they worked fine but sometimes the feed would get stuck at the end of the arc so that the spring latch had to be pulled back, the nails had to be adjusted and loosened again. I didn't have this problem with larger 3 1/2" nails from the same manufacturer. These smaller nails also didn't survive shipping so some of the nails broke off the sheets and didn't could be used and I would definitely use them again.
