Dear Larry:
An electric nail gun will easily handle nails of one and a half inches in
length, however, I am not sure about the head size, since I don't know how
large you mean.
If you are talking about a head the size of a roofing nail, then I doubt
that my gun will handle them, but I was in Lowes this week, and there are
several different types of electric nail guns available, and as I recall, one
is designed for roofing. Check out the models and you may find one that will
fit your requirements.
The price has also dropped on these units, which is a good thing.
Yours Truly,
Clifford Wilson

Ok guys,
Here comes one right down your alley.
About a year ago I purchased a double wide modular home that
I rent out. Last week some extremely high winds tore off
some of the plastic skirting that runs from the bottom of
the home to the ground. Replacing it doesn't look like a big
deal, only an expensive one. The skirt backing is secured
with nails about an inch and a half long with large heads
on them. Is this a nail that could be handled with an
electric nail gun?
Secondly if you guys have any tips and tricks regarding
this skirting, now would be the time to share them.
Basically they are interlocking panels that fit in
a track that is secured to the ground and the top is held in
place by a two peace sliding panel, the back half of which
is attached to the house with the afore mentioned nails. I
took a scrap of skirting material and it appears I can
easily cut it with my cordless sheet metal nibbler.
Thanks guys.
Regards
Larry Stansifer
