Recommend a Good Cordless Nailer

[KX500]

We are doing some remodeling so I have some baseboard molding & a few doors to install. After that the tool will set for who knows how long.

I am the furthest thing from a professional carpenter & really don't need the same tool as the guys who use them every day.

But there are enough of these tools out there to be confusing - it looks like it'd be easier to get a crappy one than a good one. And I sure don't want one that takes special nails.

Basically, I know next to nothing about these things and really don't want to spend a lot for something I'll seldom use.

Anything out there fit the bill for me?

And it doesn't have to be cordless, just non pneumatic as I don't have a compressor big enough to run anything.

All you want to know about cordless brad nailers is in this video. I like the Dewalt the best , but the Ryobi is pretty good and you save a few bucks.

Whichever one goes with your current cordless setup. I have the Porter Cable stuff, and really like the nail gun.

So I guess I'm not getting anything for much under $200?

And what a crock that most don't come with a battery or charger - looks like you gotta pay another $75-$100 if you actually want to be able to use the tool!

I know you said cordless, but if its just for 1 or 2 projects, I would get a corded one. I got a cheap one at Harbor Freight and its been great.

My Ryobi 15g & 18g cordless nailers are still going strong after 6yrs of hobby work.
Waiting for them to die, so I can get the Milwaukee set .

Very interested in this - do you remember a brand or model #?

The Harbor Freight website only wants to show pneumatic nailers.

I did buy an electric impact wrench a few years ago from Harbor Freight and I absolutely love that thing.

Do you have any battery powered tools ? If so look into what ever brand you have . I run Milwaukee. Have a few of their nailers . They work great .

You are correct, Im a dummy, it was a pneumatic one.

I’m partial to the DeWalt. I use the 16 gauge and 18 gauge every day.

I don't have any complaint about the Dewalt other than it sure sound weird getting ready to fire.

[Geezy Rider]

Yep, I like my Dewalt.
