can you use bostitch roofing nails in a hitachi?
Anyone know if the bostitch roofing nails which I believe are 15 degree will fit a hitachi roofing gun which I believe they say is 16 degree. Just wondering if the 1 degree makes them not fit being that I'm purchasing a hitachi and have a large amount of bostich nails on hand.

i buy roofing nails without even looking what angle or brand they are. I have never found a nail generic or otherwise that would not work in my hitachi. that includes bostitch.

I have seen some nails not work in Paslodes. A couple years ago bought two boxes of Hitachi brand nails and for some reason they wouldn't work in my Hitachi's. They worked in the Paslodes though. Only time I seen Hitachi nails.
