Hello,
I'm about to buy an air brad nail gun, as I want to build a fair amount of timber furniture. I'd normally use screws (pilot hole first), but it's time consuming and the screw heads leave a large area to be filled and sanded.
My question concerns the nail gun. I'm looking at a generic gun that can use 10 - 50mm 18ga brads and type 90 staples. These guns are all over ebay and discount tool shops up and down the country. Are these guns known for jaming with smaller nails (like 1"). I imagine that there will be people out there that have these cheap brad nailers, and use them with different size nails. If that's you, I'd appreciate your experiences.
Just a bit wary of one tool that claims to accommodate many different size nails. If needed, I could buy two nail guns, for 1" and 2", as they seem to maunfacture them in different sizes.
Thanks.
