For a pergola (1×1” wood and small wood like that) which one do you recommend?
thank you for sharing…
What would you recommend for exclusive use on door and window casing and trim?
It all makes sense but for a home reno I think I’ll stick with a hammer and different size nails lol.
Finally the that I was looking for! So much confusion around what these guns do and are used for. And I don’t need another "unpacking" video! You just helped me decide to keep both guns that I just bought-the 16 and 18. I had been thinking the 15 and 18 but don’t think I’d be using the 15 much right now with what you showed here. Doing a lot of trim and tongue and groove. Can always go up to the 15 when the time comes if it should. Thank you so much! By the way I love your "Come and take it" t-shirts-what a hoot!
what is the gadge of the framing nailer? also, are all non-framing nailers (gadge 15-23) consider “finishing nailers”?
An option to get you by is to rent the tool at HD or Lowes.
Finally, someone explained it clearly! Thank you
My dad was a carpenter home builder. WWII veteran as well. He liked nails and a hammer. He wasn’t convinced machine nails/staples would hold in roofing, etc.
Man, I’ve been looking for this explanation for like a month now. Going to start getting into some heavy DIY stuff and this makes a TON of sense now!
Absolutely excellent video! As someone who knows quite a bit about construction, yet nothing about nailers, this was the perfect explanation. Picking up a 16-gauge nailer next week.
We didn’t have such things, all done with a hammer & nails.
Screws are the best thing to set doors with. You can tack it with nails but you should definitely put some screws in it if you want it to stay true
What would I want to use to say put up Luan or sheet paneling on a wall or ceiling
Why not use 18 gause narrow crown stapler on tongue and groove
Excellent break down of different nailer gauges – especially Milwaukee. All that info is not easy to digest if you’re not a carpenter by trade. 16G it is! Thanks man.
All garbage
How are you there Richard. Out of curiosity. I’d like to ask you if the saw tracks in the background are the DeWalt brand?
How long are they?
Where can I get them?
Be honest pneumatic is the cheapest way to acquire the full set. Yes, the hose and compressor are not as convenient. Yet, neither is battery swapping when you’re in the groove.
Must have those for sure. At the end always have a punch and hammer.
Great video. I was honestly looking for this exact answer for the last 2 hours.
Why don’t they make a multi size gun for making furniture.
I guess using a old fashioned nail and hammer is out dated. 😂😂
Does the battery powered 23 gauge nailer leave as clean of hole as a air powered one.
I have a old ryobi 18 guage/18 volt nailer and the striker leaves a T mark if you want nail below surface unlike hosed 18 guage. I use for nailing Oak wood projects.
Good run down. I’m getting the 16gauge for my quick in and out jobs. I hate getting out the compressor for 5 shots
I think you need 3…. The largest frame nailer the 16g and the 23g the others are a waste of money imo. Like you say depends if your in the workshop or out and about on site.
What do you shoot base with ?
Just buy all of them lol love that… honey they guy said to buy all of them lol
Which gun for personal use for my diy projects ? Adding board and batten, making wood ceiling beams ?
Love the video, thanks for the information. Which finish nailer would you recommend for my first one as an experienced DIY expert?
Another great video!!! With the nail hole of the 15 gauge being so close to the size of a trim screw, you can get by without the 15 gauge until you have the $$ for the 15. Especially setting doors, using composite finish screws that adjust the jamb in and out once the head is set (the specialty screws for that task cost 👎). The composite screws do the same job for less. Just a tip for those who can’t get that 15 just yet.
I only ever use the 23 ga. Interesting to learn the uses for the other 4. Thanks for the vid 👍
I’m looking for a 21vs 30°
This was great! Thank you!
your video was the best , so Clear and simple
I have a question someone could help with. I have a couple of porch jobs coming up where I’m needing to install porch rail details. My brad nailer is not strong enough. Should I get 15 or 16 gauge for this? Is 16 strong enough to fire through 1-1.5” stock at an angle or will the 15 gauge blow out the mitered ends?
Talk about the 23 gauge
I use so many different nail guns because, well…. tools! 🤪😁
Good video. I myself admit am a rookie. So I can ask dumb questions. Lol. Can I get away with a 16 gage nail gun for framing ? Some of the 2×4 in my old gurage are getting old and need replacing. Will that 16 gage nail gun work ?
I carry all the same guns, I also have a 21 gauge and roofing gun
Does the 15ga work well with baseboards & shelf projects ?
Just bought a 40 degree nailer. Can’t wait to use it tomorrow at work
So I need a framing gun to osb my siding and roof?
And the impact wrench is for really big trim.
Thank you very much for the explanation of the nail guns. I have been looking at either the 15 or the 16. You have definitely helped me decide.
My go to nailer for trim is the 18g. If needed I combine with adheasive, rather than use a 15g like I see a lot of trim guys use for base etc. I still have my 16g air nailer from about 25 years ago, it’s hardly got any use on it. I think I still have the same box of original 16g nails I bought at the same time.
I love the 15g for heavier finish applications, and of course hanging doors like you mentioned. 23g nailer is a wonderful tool for small trim. I’ve always wanted a 21g which I’ve seen a lot of other trim guys utilize in their work.
When my wife gets upset, I don’t need a 15ga nail, I need a 12ga shotgun. (😂)
Great video. Very informative.
Trim screws are a good option for doors if you dont have the 15g
Thank you bro for the review I needed to know that!! 💯🙌🏽🤜🏾
