<p>The Ryobi AirStrike nailers are great! I own the 18G and the stapler. Not having to hook them up to a compressor is convenient. They are a bit pricey when you include the cost of the battery and charger.</p>

<p>I'm big on name brand reconditioned stuff. Think used with a warranty. One big reason is if you decide to upgrade later a name brand, reconditioned or otherwise, is much easier to sell and generally commands a better price than than the Harbor Freight and other low end tools. As far as brands, I have Porter Cable and Hitachi for pneumatics with a Porter Cable 2002 compressor. I think I have roughly $500 tied up in compressor, 23 ga pin nailer, 18 ga brad nailer, 18 ga narrow crown stapler,…</p>

<p>I purchased a Bostich combo, compressor and three tools-stapler, brad nailer, finish nailer. Granted, $220 was a fair amount of money at the time (8 months ago) but I have never looked back. Finished a number of things in the shop, used it on a bookcase (7 1/2' tall x 3' wide) and was faster than I used to be when using a hammer.

<p>I bought a Campbell Hausfeld from Lowes for a gift to a friend, compressor and brad nailer combined on sale last Christmas. He is very satisfied with it only wish I had bought two. They were on sale a couple of weeks ago for under $60, needless to say I bought it for myself this time. I have a Craftsman 18 ga I've had for years I gave over $100 for, no problem with it ever.

<p>I am interested in getting a nail gun and compressor. Recommendations on brand/gun/tank size(s), please. BTW, I'm a home-when-I-can-find-the -time DIYer.</p>

<p>Bostitch makes great Brad and Staple guns, I use them daily in a production environment. Even the old ones, having been dropped on the floor, not taken care of, function flawlessly. FWIW I would try and get a model with the double safety trigger, the ones with the pressure safety on the nose aren't a very comfortable thing to use. You can get the trigger from Bostitch yourself and install it if you can't find it available in stores.</p>

It's the holidays, go to your local big box home store. You can usually find a good deal on a combo set with a small pancake style compressor and a brad nailer. it might cost a little more than an electric nailer but you can also upgrade later to additional tools. I bought a porter cable combo at loews several years ago and it has worked great for me. good luck and don't forget to check online sales.
