I am building a series of cabinets and use Bostitch pegs for all the trim. I've found that 1 inch rods are just what I need for most of my projects. I bought 2 inch nails but found that most of the projects I took on only needed 1 inch nails. It took me a little while to learn how to set up my compressor to get the air pressure needed for the Bostitch nailer. I'm new to using the nailer but after a few minutes of playing it worked. Just remember to use eye protection.
