Learn all you need to know to choose the right nailer for your job! I'll talk about brad nail guns, finish nail guns, and framing nailers, as well as what gauge nails to use. I'll also address the benefits of a cordless nailer over a pneumatic nail gun.

As a cabinet installer, cordless nailers have been a godsend. No compressor, messy hoses or the need for electricity! The only took I rank higher is the vibratory/multi tool. Great video!

Thank you, I am so glad I found you. I just lost my husband who use to do all of these things, he's no longer here and I don't have the funds to hire someone to do it so I have to learn to do it myself. My porch is falling apart and with the cost of lumber, I thought I'd tackle it myself. After looking at nailers, impact drivers and such at Lowes, I thought I'd do some youtubing. Thanks so much Melissa and I have subscribed and look forward to your videos. The Aged Lady.

I was wanting to get some type of nailer for my wood projects. I've seen alot people use them on youtube to help secure a joint or to temporarily secure something and they look very convenient. Now I know that i need a finish nailer based on the examples you mentioned., thanks. Good thorough explanations.

I have a pin nailer and framing nailer besides the two you mentioned. My son and I replaced his front door with a larger door with side panels plus removed a patio door and replaced with a large window. Those projects took many nails. But the other one that I have and found much use for is a small crown stapler. It has been real handy for light construction.

I always wanted to get a nailer, and also a table saw and a miter saw. Finally two days ago, I bought an electric brad nailer from Amazon for $75. One day after I received it, they jacked up the price y $10. Anyway I do not know when I will really use this nailer but I already used it to nail a fence picket that was loose. I do not have too much need for nailers, but even if I use it once a year, it is worth it. I also like when a lady teaches men about tools, because men think only they have tools and only they know how to use tools. I want to encourage all ladies to learn from this lady and become good at handyman's jobs.

I think she nailed it. One thing you didn't touch on was weight. Battery powered tools tend to weigh more than their air powered brothers. I put the compressor in another room. I like my air nailers.

I bought this nail gun as we were planning to renew all the fencing in our back garden. As this involved 19 double slatted fence panels, 10 of which needed to be cut down in size, we knew there would be a need for a great kzfaq.infoUgkxHQsUrwNr5GQrnx9V4xDdUr56qxwuiBHt deal of re-stapling the wooden slats to the wooden framework. Each alteration required the re-stapling of 62 wooden slats with double staples. Prior to starting the work we ordered sufficient additional staples as per the instructions with the gun.The gun performed fantastically throughout the entire project with no jams of misfires. The adjustable power was excellent allowing the staples to be fired into the 8mm slats to the correct depth. For the price paid this was a bargain and it proved itself to be so reliable and versatile making an arduous task much quicker and professional. I cannot recommend this product highly enough and it will be used on many other projects in the future.

Pin nailers allow for precise nailing of delicate materials and the tiny hole is a huge plus on pre finished materials. They are great for cabinet trim installs.

Hi I’m about to try to build a rodent rack. I think I’ll be using 2x2 or 2x4 pieces of wood. Do U think a finish nailed would have long enough nails or should I get a framing nailer. It will be 6 shelves tall to hold 25l sterile tubs that are around 4-6 tall. The mice that I will be breeeding will not be heavy at all. Each tub only weighs maybe 10 pounds times 6 shelves I’ve never done this before so I have no idea what I’m getting my self into. Also project two is since I will have a nailer. Maybe I can fix a 12ft section of my fence that fell down. I think since a fence picket is only 1/2 thick a finish nailer should work?

I think you can try it with a finish nailer. Add wood glue to some of the major supportive joints and it should be strong enough.
