At some point I had a pneumatic nail gun and a compressor. When I moved to a smaller house, I found it was too much to carry around for basic nail jobs.

I've used it with 1, 1.5 and 2 inch 18 gauge nails on a few projects before and it's been great. There are so many nice features including a work light, depth and power…
