Trim nailer

[WishboneW]

I need to buy an air powered nailer that will be used to install baseboards, door trim, and window trim.

I am looking for something that is good quality. My wife will run it too.

What size fasteners should I be using?

What brand would you recommend?

Porter Cable with 2" nails.

We have a crating dept at work that uses about 2 boxes of nails daily. We try different guns and so far our worst one has been Hitachi. Now that is more nails than anyone except a tradesman would use, so I imagine about any would work for a home owner.

We have 6-7 brands running and you wouldn’t believe which one is oldest. It’s the Bostitch!

If interested, there's a couple of Senco listed for sale/trade on the classifieds. (Not my ad)

All mine are Senco, Bostitch and Paselode. If this is for homeowner use I’m sure any name brand will be fine.
Handle them and see what feels good.

A battery powered nailer may be a good option for you.

Thanks for all the replies!

I will go to Home Depot tomorrow and look at what they have. I have a paslode framing nailer that I really like. I also have a few porter cable electric tools that have held up well.

Yes, homeowner use only
