Hi all,
I'm after a nailer and I'm not sure which way to go. It's only going to get light to medium use in a home workshop so I did look at corded nailers such as the tacwise range but some reviews read better than others and I am a bit dubious to how long they'll last.
I looked at a cordless Makita 23ga which came in around the £300 mark bare so it's a bit more expensive. I don't mind spending if it's going to last and could potentially return a few quid if I come to sell.
Lastly pneumatic. I've got a compressor but not one with a receiver so I'm sure I'd have to get one with. My old man has got one that's 50L capacity that I'm sure he'd let me borrow for a while if I went this way but there are a wealth of brands and types.
Lastly am I looking at the right gauge? I've looked as mentioned at the Makita 23 otherwise I thought maybe 18. It'll be used mainly where clamps can't be while glue joints set or to do away with clamping altogether when trying to save time. Doubtful I'll be using any hardwood, maybe the occasional bit of oak, maple or sepele.
