Picking between the various types can be a little tedious. One of the tough choices you might need to make is whether to go for a brad or finish nailer.
The physical appearance of the two handy power tools is quite similar, and the fasteners that they use are also quite similar to some extent. And what this means is that many woodworkers will have a hard time deciding what to buy.
It is possible to buy a combo kit and get a variety of nailers at a go. But if you have to get either a brad or finish nail the vital thing is to make sure that you understand the capabilities and shortcomings of each tool.

“So if you want to put the finishing touches on, use a brad nailer. Now, on to the “finish” nailer.”
Goddamn you carpenters. Lol
I bought this nail gun as we were planning to renew all the fencing in our back garden. As this involved 19 double slatted fence panels, 10 of which needed to be cut down in size, we knew there would be a need for a great czcams.com/users/postUgkxHQsUrwNr5GQrnx9V4xDdUr56qxwuiBHt deal of re-stapling the wooden slats to the wooden framework. Each alteration required the re-stapling of 62 wooden slats with double staples. Prior to starting the work we ordered sufficient additional staples as per the instructions with the gun.The gun performed fantastically throughout the entire project with no jams of misfires. The adjustable power was excellent allowing the staples to be fired into the 8mm slats to the correct depth. For the price paid this was a bargain and it proved itself to be so reliable and versatile making an arduous task much quicker and professional. I cannot recommend this product highly enough and it will be used on many other projects in the future.
Showing photos of each nail might have been useful especially if this video is meant for a beginner.
Yeah. Most of the footage was irrelevant for the video IMO.
Thanks ! I wasn't sure which was bigger... but now I now that the finish nail itself is larger than a Brad!
This is exactly what I needed to know. Thank you!
I really enjoyed this high quality video. Thank you.
Thank you for posting this video. Just what I needed to know!👍
Thank you for creating this video. I finally understand the difference.
Yeah! Thank you! Happy New Year!
Easy to understand.Thank you.
I was thinking about getting a ryobi nailer. Didn’t know the difference. Thanks for the video. Looks like I’m going with the Brad nailer. A picture of each nail would of been nice.
I found the ryobi 16 gauge better for me , does everything the 18 would do in my case ( home renovations ) , plus doing slightly heavier stuff as well
Carpenters and Joiners use many tools and while a 18 gauge is overall good this guy is wrong. If you had to but only one the 16 gauge is the way to go.
When doing doors there should not be any compromises the 15 gauge should be the only way to go especially on external doors..
A Ryobi will get the job done but how long will the tool perform is another issue.
Great explanation!
great review, thank you!
Very useful, thank you
Thank you for the info.
very helpful video ... thank you
Thank you explained it really well and helped me decide what to get.
thank you for the video! however, i'm still not satisfied with the answers i got from the video and online community in general. it's vague to say finish nailer should be used for large molding...ok, but how large? i need some numbers for guidance.
I want to fix skirting bored and things like that, what should I use
6:30 am & I bought the wrong nail gun.
I have both I do hardwood flooring
I’m thinking of doing some panelling, I’m guessing a Brad nailer better ?
16ga finish nailer is all you need 16ga to 18ga not that big of deal I would just get a 16ga nailer and be done son!
Thanks for the info. So just to make sure, I build small boxes, I usually use 1/2 play wood, I have been gluing and using nails and a hammer, is the brad nailer the one I should get?
yep
Which is the best for Plywood brad nail gun or finisher nail gun?
That one.
Great content. But the Music is too loud😅
Roll the Dice!! But I can tell which is better! It's any tool that doesn't say "Dewalt" on it! The 18v were a great system, mine served well for 20+ years. I switched over to the 20v system a few years back and have had nothing but issues with the tools and/or batteries. The worse thing is Dewalt customer service sucks. To return a POS tool & let them evaluate the issue (not to fix it), just to evaluate the problem, will cost you $85. They claim if its an issue with the tool & not abuse or the user they will send your money back, but after all the bad luck I've had with more than 4 brand new tools & 1 battery in less than 2 years, I just went & bought a full set from a different brand. There's no way I was gambling another $85.
Nice
Any Nail Guns that double as a Home Defense gun?
.....Just kidding 😂
All depends on the job you're doing
Ima put plywood on garage so I need a finish nailer ? Correct?? Thanks
Pls let me know the answer thanks
Lol think you need an actual nail gun (framing nailer). You want that to stick and hold up to bad wind and torque conditions. You can get the finish nailer to secure it and use an impact gun to drive screws after you secure with the finish.. I'm not a contractor, but I want to believe this is the safest bet for what you're doing. A garage roof should be secure no matter what, just go screws all the way if you don't want the framing nailer
You need a siding gun or nail gun and shoot 2 3/8 long nails. A finish nailer will not cut it.
@@Bog8686 I think he’s talking about adding plywood (1/2” likely) to cover the studs in a garage, same as one would do with drywall and not to protect it against hurricanes….. In that case a finishing nailer will do.
@@DulceN you would trust simple shot in pins to hold 25-48lbs per sheet of ply above your head/higher up on stud walls, add weight of paint and possible shelving that isn't hitting studs correctly. Screws for that man, at least some to be safe.

the narrator should do asmr videos.
Music is too loud
You didn't even provide a single visual of the difference between each nail. 👎
Listen to the video again please . Big projects finish . Small projects brad/staples
Hey let’s educate people on the difference but not show them the difference.
Warning: the video has absolutely nothing to do with the narrative.
The footage shown in this video is so irrelevant to the content... Terrible video.
Useless. Did not show not nails, not how it looks after applying tools
This audio was about as bad as listening to a joe Biden speech. Good effort
