Imagine the speed and accuracy you can achieve when installing new counter tops or building a new deck. The benefits of an air gun eliminates the need of having an extra hand. You can position the item you are nailing and place the nail gun directly on the target of where you want to drive in the nail. The speed and accuracy of the nail gun gets the nail in with the squeeze of the trigger. This also prevents splitting of wood in woodworking projects.

I have a $19.90 one from Harbor freight http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=40116 18 GAUGE 2-IN-1 NAILER/STAPLER KIT It is wonderful. I was doing some pretty big projects with it and used about 1000 staples (I guess, maybe a little less). I only had 1 jam, and that is my fault as I shut of the compressor and the air pressure was way low. It does require a allen key to clear the jammed brad. But for the price I was able to justify getting one, Wish I had done so earlier, very very useful! For what its worth a 18 gage air nailer is wonderful.

Thanks for making me feel even worse at not having won the Ridgid Pneumatic giveaway :-D just kidding.. but some good stuff there.. I picked up a cheap compressor - mostly to inflate my daughter's kiddie pool. But it'll go to 120 psi - so I should be able to run a nailer like this without any problem.. Until I can pick up a real compressor. Nice review Sean. Thanks for making me feel even worse at not having won the Ridgid Pneumatic giveaway :-D
