help Bostitch FN1664K FAQ
What nails fit the Bostitch FN1664K?
The FN1664K is a pneumatic 16-gauge straight finish nailer designed for finish nails up to about 64 mm, or 2 1/2 inches. It is intended for trim, molding, cabinetry, and similar finish-carpentry work rather than framing nails.
Is the Bostitch FN1664K cordless?
No, the FN1664K is powered by compressed air and requires a compressor and hose. It does not use a battery or gas fuel cell.
What air pressure should the Bostitch FN1664K use?
This model operates within the typical finish-nailer range of roughly 70 to 120 PSI. Start near the lower end and increase pressure only as needed, using the depth control to avoid crushing soft trim.
How does a 16-gauge FN1664K differ from an 18-gauge brad nailer?
Its 16-gauge finish nails are thicker and provide more holding power than the 18-gauge brads used by tools such as the Bostitch BTFP12233. The tradeoff is a larger nail hole, so delicate beadwork may be better suited to an 18-gauge tool.
