Home Depot had a name-brand compressor/nailer combo for sale @ ~$200,last

They have a Porter Cable kit, but I believe it has a brad nailer (18
gauge), not a finish nailer. I've been told that 18 gauge is not what
I should use for molding. The kits that include a finish nailer are
considerably more expensive and buying the compressor and nailer
separately is much more expensive.

The PC kit I bought has both the 18Ga brad nailer and 16Ga finish
nailer. I used the 18Ga brad nailer with 1-1/4" nails to nail the
moldings to the door casings and the 16Ga x 2-1/4" to nail into the
frame (about 3 places on a side). Seemed to work. As I said in
another thread the compressor and three nailers (narrow crown
stapler) was $298. ...not too bad. The compressor alone was $199,
or some such.
