Your Grex pinners are designed to only drive headless pins. When we developed our first pinner over 10 years ago, our testing showed that a tool that drives both headless and slight headed pins had a significantly higher risk of jamming which eventually resulted in tool damage. The reason is the looser tolerances required to accommodate both types of fasteners. So we decided to use purely headless pins. Keep in mind that for any fastener, whether it be a framing nail or a pin, it's the friction from the fastener shank that provides the holding power; not the head. That plus the toeing or angling of the fastener towards one another. And if you want to use a 23 gauge fastener because of the small hole it leaves, then why put a head on it to make it bigger?
