I am ready to make a purchase for pneumatic nail guns, plural, because I
want to purchase a brad nailer and finish nailer for now and I'm asking for
recommendations. I've gained some knowledge of nail guns in just a little
time but still learning more about them. I don't want to spend a great deal
of money, but I don't want a cheapie either. I prefer an angled nail gun,
though I'm not sure they sell angled brad nail guns, therefore, not a major
issue though a brad/staple combo nail gun would be nice as well as a depth
gauge and a good range of nail lengths. The uses will be for general home
repairs and the beginning of some cabinet making ventures.

All help is much appreciated.

Thank you

My choice is Senco because they are long time suppliers to the pros
and they also make their own fasteners. I have several other brands,
but the Sencos always seem to do a better job of setting each nail/
brad just right. Might be a good idea to visit a job site sometime and
see what the finish carpenters are using. Odds are it will be Paslode,
Bostitch, and such, maybe some Hilti tools, even Hitachi up on the
roof. Porter-Cable IIRC is Asian made. Even Milwaukee has a couple of
nailers out now, from Asian sources. Generally, nailers are not
complicated tools, and for a beginner you might as well get started
with the top tier (more $$) from Harbor Freight. Just be sure your
compressor has the balls to handle the pressure. Some of the little
pancake cuties don't get up enough pressure to let a nailer set well
in harder kinds of wood, like yellow pine. Around 135 PSI is good.
