A finish
nailer is one of the most useful tools
you can own, especially if you are completing
trim projects or assembling finely crafted furniture.
This is because finish nailers drive all your
nails to a uniform depth, without risking hammer
marks or leaving large holes behind. Using a
nailer is a great way to finish off your projects
quickly without having to sacrifice quality.
Finish nailers are available in cordless, electric,
and pneumatic models, and so shopping for one
can be a bit of a challenge. A brief look at
a few different models can help you make a more
informed choice when you are shopping for a finish
nailer.
Paslode
finish nailer
You
can find a quality cordless Paslode
finish nailer in many retail stores. The Paslode IM250II
is a cordless model that can be used for many
tasks, including installing new door jambs, door
stops, baseboard molding, window casings, crown
molding, and many different types of cabinetry.
With advanced battery technology, the IM250II
can provide you with hours of useful life between
recharging. This model also has enough power
to drive 16 gauge nails in lengths up to 2½ inches.
Bostitch

The
Bostitch
finish nailer is a fast, economical,
and convenient addition to your tool inventory.
The Stanley Bostitch TRE500 has dual power capability
so you can use it on either house power or 12V
power, and it shoots both staples and nails.
It has a rugged all steel channel to withstand
tough treatment, as well as a contoured handle.
The TRE500 does not have as much power as some
other models of finish and framing
nailers, but
it is able to drive ½ inch or 5/8 inch
brad nails accurately and evenly.
Senco
nailer
Senco offers a wide range of finish nailers
for do it yourselfers and contractors. You can
find a Senco finish
nailer powered by air or
with a cordless battery, and each Senco model
comes with its own strengths. The Senco AirFree
line of nailers are cordless finish nailers with
fast (one hour) rechargeable batteries. Each
can drive more than 700 15 or 18 gauge nails
per charge, which means you will probably run
out of work long before the batteries drain in
your finish nailer!
