I'm in the market for a finish nailer to be used "recreationally" for
installing trim and building furniture. Anyone have recommendations for:

- 15 gauge vs. 16 gauge?
- brands?

Thanks!



Porter Cable has/recently had a neat bundle with compressor, 15 ga finish
nailer and 18 ga brad nailer. $300 at the home centers.

I'm happy with my Porter Cable nailers. Others have expressed similar
opinions here. 5 out of 5 recreational nailer owners on my block use
Porter Cable. Of course, that makes it a lot easier, when you need 'ammo'
on a weekend project....

I have a P-C FN250B 16ga nailer and my only complaint is that it lacks a dry
fire limiter. Though if I hadn't needed it in a hurry I probably would have
shopped around a bit more.
