    This nail gun has been recommended here before for fixing ply. I cant seem to find 20mm nails, or even 22mm advertised for it? Does this mean it isn't suitable for nailing 6mm ply? I would be very reluctant to use 25mm nails on 6mm ply.

    Any advice would be appreciated

    You can use plastic or wire collated.
    The wire ones sometimes leave a little tag sticking up. Need scraping off.
    Wire come in larger boxes. Last lot I got were £38, 14400 in a box 22m length.
    Amazon sometimes do them at a good price

    Wire collated are best the plastic ones just make a mess and get jammed in the gun all the time

    Spotnails have sent me out a metal packer to raise up the nails, apparently that will stop the plastic ones coming loose and misfiring....we shall see
