Just laid the laminate flooring on ground floor and is looking at the skirting boards. I'm going with the ' no nail glue' for the installation but noticed my builder was also using an air pumped nail gun to fix the skirting board in place before the glue settles.

I looked at the nailer guns on Amazon there are plenty of choices from 20 to over 100, not sure what spec is required but I think at least for 60mm nails and powerful enough to nail it onto dry wall?can anyone recommend a good cheap nail gun for that purpose? Preferably under 50.

I've looked at second fix nailers before, and I don't think they are anywhere near as cheap as that. So they've never been top of my new toy list - can't justify the cost with the amount of times I fit skirtings/architraves.

You are right the cheaper ones are actually air nail gun. Electric nail guns cost more, such as this one:
Tacwise 181ELS Electric Nail Gun https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00B1P5TC2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_lfJGzbRGEGEVB

But if the electric nail gun could do the trick and substantially reduce the time fixing the skirting I 'm happy to strength my budget or maybe just buy an used one for the job.
