In all of our use of the Duo-Fast DF350S, we never had a single jam, no matter what nails we were shooting.

We also used 2-1/4″ inch ring shank to install roof sheeting, 3-1/4″ galvanized ring shank for installing deck board and of course we used thousands of 3-1/4″ round head framing nails.
We used the Duo-Fast DF350S to shoot some 2-3/8″ galvanized ring shank to attach wall sheeting on the outside of the beach house. It seems to us that the 20 and 21 degree nails can be used interchangeably. Anyone that has used plastic collated framing nails knows exactly what I am talking about! Just as an experiment, we cycled a few sticks of the paper collated Duo-Fast nails in some of our other framing nailers that were designed for 21 Degree fasteners and that worked flawlessly! Actually when we compared the 20 and the 21 degree nails we had on hand, there was no real visual difference in the angle. There is nothing worse then nailing something at about head level and having one of those little pieces come flying back to hit you in the face. These nails were fantastic! No little piece of plastic would come flying out of the nailer when we would shoot nails in place.

Just a quick note about fasteners, the folks over at Duo-Fast thought it best to send us a box of their 20 degree 3-1/4″ full round head paper collated bright framing nails to use in the Duo-Fast DF350S (which we greatly appreciated). Easy to manage size and weight make the Duo-Fast-DF350S-Round-Framing-Nailer great to use Since we made good use of it though all phases of the construction, we shot just about every type of fastener imaginable in through it. We actually used this nailer out on a construction project where it was handled just about every day during the construction of a new 2200 square foot raised beach style home. The ability to be able to knock around a piece of lumber with the back of the nailer is a huge help and the rafter hook is a life saver. What makes this nailer so likable is some of the handy features that it comes with that we already pointed out. The nailer has a nice balance to it and while it does weigh about half a pound more then one of our other favorite lightweight framing nailers, the Hitachi NR90AE, we still really enjoyed using it.
Testing the Duo-Fast DF350S nailer was a joy. The other feature that we really liked was the dry fire lockout which lets you instantly know when you are out of fasteners and keeps you from blowing divots into the wood for several shots before realizing you’ve drained the magazine. There is nothing more handy then being able to safely hang the nailer by the hook rather then having to balance or wedge it somewhere while you get your next framing member into position to nail it. The first was the installed rafter hook that is both removable and also switchable from one side of the nailer to the other. we had two favorite features on this tool. The magazine will hold a total of 70 nails (two strips). The magazine is made of an extruded piece of aluminum and the nails are inserted on the top side of the magazine. There is a tool-less depth of adjustment knob that makes it easy to set how deep the nails are being driven. We like to this style of using a simple switch to swap between modes, and the trigger selection worked very easily and effectively during our use of the tool. There are small graphics molded into the trigger that makes it easy to figure out what mode the nailer is in.
The firing mode selection involves removing the trigger pivot pin and then either raising or lowering the trigger to a different position that allows for the switch between sequential and bump firing modes. Since the cap is made of solid metal, it is designed to actually be used to tap lumber into position when needed. The exhaust cap on the back of the nailer directs the air out the top away from the user. The overall body of the Duo-Fast DF350S is made of aluminum with a black over-molded rubber grip on the handle area of the nailer.
