I'm going to be putting up some 1/4" panels in my home and have decided to buy a nail gun and air compressor for the job. I've never needed an air gun before and may never use it after this project. I'm looking at two different guns from Harbor Freight. The first one is an 18 gauge brad nailer that used brads up to 2". http://www.harborfreight.com/air-tools/nailers-staplers/18-gauge-brad-air-nailer-68021.html
The other one is a 23 gauge pin nailer http://www.harborfreight.com/air-tools/nailers-staplers/23-gauge-pin-air-nailer-60241.html
although it will only use nails up to 1".
I guess I'm not real clear on the difference between a pin nail vs brad nails.
I think I'm going to also get a small air compressor from them...again I don't have much use for one. They have a small 3 gallon oiless compressor in either a pancake style tank or hot dog style tank. I've read that these compressors are big enough for the small job that I will be doing.
