I don't know of any electric that will drive that long of a fastener. I would not recommend a combination nail/staple gun. I know someone who was very upset with the results. It is fine for the staples but the driver is 1/4 inch wide for the staples when using brads it left rectangular marks in the wood. My Porter Cable pneumatic brad will drive a 2 inch brad and the finish nailer will drive a 2 and 1/2 inch finish nail. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Edward Przybylek" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "BlindHandyMan" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 22, 2007 2:52 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Trim Nailer
Hi all, I just finished installing a number of cabinets in my kitchen and now need to put up some trim. Being absolutely useless when it comes to using a hammer, I took a quick trip to the hardware store to see what solutions they might offer. What I'm looking for is a brad nailer or a small nail gun. The brad nailers I saw can drive a brad up to 1.25 inches in length. This isn't enough to hold trim along the floor. The store has several large nail guns but they're all too large for what I need. The ideal tool would be an electric (I'm not real fond of battery operated tools) that can drive a brad or finishing nail up to about two inches in length. I do not want a pneumatic gun. I got rid of my compressor and air tools years ago. Does anyone know if there is something out there that might fill the bill? As always, any help appreciated.
