18ga is a brad nailer, not a pinner, Snag.


Pawn shop price 20 bucks . This is a sweet finish nailer , one of
the newer models with adjustable depth stop . Now all I need is a
16ga that'll handle 2 1/2" pins and I'll be set .
I stopped at the place to ask if I could hang a flyer , Greg
(owner? not sure) had this one hangin' on the wall . Been tradin'
with these folks for several years , I bought my lathe from them .
Nice guys , and they always take good care of my tool needs - if
they got what I need .

What is a pin nailer? I have a Porter Cable brad nailer and my mom,
who loves having her two boys work on her house has a Bosch
finishing and framing nailer. Well she owns them, my brother seems
to always have them at his house.

A pin nailer is a slim brad nailer, usually 23ga vs 15ga or 18ga for
brads.

Around here , those terms are more or less interchangeable . When we talk
about a 23ga headless , we call that a wire nailer .
Probably just a regional difference of terminology . You say puh-tay-toe ,
I say puh-tah-toe ...
