<p>Dan, I think the brad nailer is outdated. I use a 15 ga. angle nailer and a headless pinner. With these 2 tools you will never need a brad nailer. The 15 ga. shoots from 1" to 2 1/2" and puts a hole about the size of a brad. And the headless pinner shoots 5/8" to 1 1/4". I use the senco guns which cost a little more than the average but I use them to put food on the table. I suggest the craftsman 15 ga. angle nailer and the rigid headless pinner.

<p>Brad nailers are a great tool for assembly of small parts, and making temporary fixing jigs.</p>
<p>Because you have the ability to adjust the impact on the brad I find I can temp nail just about anything,and be able to remove the brad later without any problems as its head and body is sticking out at the top.</p>

<p>Because you have the ability to adjust the impact on the brad I find I can temp nail just about anything,and be able to remove the brad later without any problems as its head and body is sticking out at the top.</p>
<p>I have a low budget Archer unit that uses 18 gauge brads from 15mm to 50mm.</p>
<p>Although its only $30 and the consumables are worth more than the tool I always have an independent oil line on it as opposed to the dry clean air I use for wood work.</p>
<p>The only point I would make (no pun intended) as with all powered tools make sure you hold the tool firmly and have it pointed exactly wher you want the nail/brad to go as its so fast that if your aim is off you will find the exit may be not where you wanted it.</p>
<p>I was making a platform decking for a Cubby house and miss nailed a row and had to grind off the exits as removing them whould have caused even more damage.</p>

<p>Thanks for all the good advise, it's great to have a forum to bounce ideas off of and get solid feedback from people that truly try to be helpful.</p>
<p>Of course I have done some more thinking and more research. Since most of the use of the nailer will be from the "brad" family I will probably just get a Brad Nailer and pick up the Finish Nailer later when necessary. That will free up some of my "Christmas" money for other goodies that are in more of a need than a want. </p>

<p>With that in mind I'm also leaning toward the R213BNA Ridgid 21/8" Brad Nailer. (I seem to change directions like a fallen leaf in a Texas tornado) I don't have any particular issue with the PC nailer but I do own other Ridgid tools and have not had any problems with them at all. Besides that, it will help keep my shop color coordinated - LOL.</p>

<p>I have the PC brad nailer, finish nailer and pin nailer.</p>
<p>I purchased them separately, so as to have a separate storage container for each.</p>

<p>The brad nailer gets the most use, and suitable for most applications.</p>

<p>The brad nailer (18ga wire) handles brads up to 2'' long, which is suitable for most trim work applications.</p>

<p></p>
<p>The brad nailer (18ga wire) handles brads up to 2'' long, which is suitable for most trim work applications.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The finish nailer, (16ga wire) is more suitable for larger/thicker objects, such as door casings/framing, and the like.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The pin nailer gets used, primarily for ''pinning'', as well as tacking some smaller project pieces.</p>
<p>It's comes in handy for some glue-up pieces, as well as holding smaller & thinner pieces in place while sawing, cutting, sanding, or the like, where clamps will get in the way.</p>
<p>The pins are nearly headless, and beneficial for easily removal of wood pieces, without leaving large holes/indentations in your work-piece.</p>
<p></p>
<p>My PC brad and finish nailer have been in use for over 10 years.</p>
<p>They've been trouble-free---and I don't have any issues with jamming.</p>
<p></p>
<p>When purchasing tools, keep ''serving'' in mind---</p>
<p>can the tool be self serviced?</p>
<p>can you get ''ready & easy'' access to un-jamming?</p>
<p>Keep the tool clean and properly lubed.</p>
<p>Clean your tools before putting them away.</p>
<p>Lube the tool before each use---apply 2-3 drops of oil in the air inlet fitting, before each days use.</p>
<p>If you're using it all day long, apply a couple drops of oil after about 3-4 hours of operation.</p>
<p>Use the oil recommended by the OEM, or equiv ''air-tool oil'' ONLY!</p>

<p>I bought the Porter Cable combo set 5 years ago and use it often. I have had no problem with it at all.</p>
