This collated fastener is excellent for cladding despite my initial hesitation to purchase. Through trial and error, I found that the Freeman SNRSG92 175WC 92 Inch 4 Inch Siding was very easy to use and reliable .The product is reasonably priced and the nails hold well. Industrial and scientific construction is made easy with this cladding nailer as it has an adjustable depth feature that ensures the perfect depth. The only con is that it may jam occasionally but that is easy to fix..
