What Guage Nailer? So you are making good progress on collecting the tools needed for woodworking, but you are getting closer and closer to the point making the decision on what guage nailer to buy. Doing it by hand is not working and your nailset, no matter how careful, will usually miss one or two and wind up banging the wood or being unable to set the nail deep enough.
You have been searching for information and recommendations regarding nail guns and what size nail or pin that one should start out with. Of course, the first question is: What do you want to do with it?
Our UA-cam video will help you with this choice and let you know what projects each nail size is capable of doing. Be it a 15 gauge, 16 gauge, 18 gauge brad nail or 23 gauge pin nail, we will show you the size hole it leaves and the strength of each nail. - Навчання та стиль
very informative video, ty
Great Video!
Great job guy!
Just the video I needed! Thank you so much
Wow, what a great informational video with all of the details I was hoping for. Thank you!
Thanks
Loved your video. I bought a 16ga gun then I had a 2nd thought and saw your video. Returning it now and getting a 18ga 😊
Thank you. You answered my exact question.
Very helpful. Thanks for the quick info.
As an educator for close to 20 years in NYC, and a woodworker by hobby and passion, I can appreciate good instruction. You did a great job of explaining the progression of the gauges and transition from nails to staples. I loved the portion of the video where you compare all the different types of gauges side by side. Great video. Great instruction.
What do you recommend a 15 or 16 gauge nailer first
Agreed.
The best video I've ever seen in this topic, thanks!
Excellent video.....Thank you
Great video!!
Wish I watched this video before I got the nail gun. Luckily I went with an 18 gauge brad nailer haha. Thanks for the helpful video
Good video. I acquired a Hitachi collection a few years ago and got the 15ga angle finish nailer, 18ga brad nailer, 18ga barrow crown stapler and 23ga pinner. What I’ve observed:
- The holding power of staples is many times that of nails. If the joint won’t be visible, use staples.
- The pinner is the way to go for anything visible. Use it with glue and toenail the pins for better holding until the glue sets. Paint/stain right over with no filler and they disappear.
- 15ga angle nailer is best for harder to reach things or any time you need a really long nail.
- 18ga brad nailer is the most versatile, but once you get the other guns you’ll rarely use it because there’s always one of the specialist guns that works better. One of the others either hides better or grips tighter or has longer reach. It is now my least used gun.
I’d get the 18ga bras nailer first, then get the narrow crown stapler 2nd.
VERY GOOD VIDEO, THIS IS A REALLY GOOD REFERENCE VIDEO!
Great video, thank you!
Thank a bunch for all the tips. been a woodworker for 20 years, nice to see a young person with a lot of knowledge and willing to pass it on.
18, narrow crown, 23. 15 is only necessary outside and 16 can be replaced by stapler when only being used for assembly where fasteners are hidden.
Finally a nail gun video that actually shows the different gauge sizes in the wood. Thank you! Off to buy a brad nailer now.
Liked, commented, subscribed.
Excellent, thank you.
Thanks I was having that problem I can’t decide which one to get it first.
Thanks, good info
Thank you good advice
Good job.
Très satisfait
For trim work avoid the two in ones. The anvil which also drives staples leaves a larger unsightly slot shaped indent.
This video was exactly what I was looking for!
1. Compared guns/gauges
2. Discusses projects each gauge is good for
3. Makes recommendation on which to buy first
4. Thorough, but short and sweet (no wading through minutes of unbearable rambling)
5. Clear and steady camera work with good audio
Well done, and Thank You!
Pins to start, smaller holes make smaller headaches haha
Thanks. 18 gauge brad nailer, it is.
I think this would work as well for assembling cabinet frames if used in combo with glue.
18 guage for sure
I use the jlab epic sport anc wireless ear buds. They have the be aware feature so if you want you can hear whats going on like someone talking along with the noise canceling. I use them with a grider oscillating tool and chainsaw. Now i dont know how many decibles they actually block but i know for a fact my ears dont have ringing in them after doing loud work. Especially when using the foam insert. And they have a earhook on them, i will not buy a set of buds that does have the ear hook. Plus they cost under $100 with a 2 year warranty.
Thant you for explaining the different size nail guns this will help me decide which size nail gun to purchase.
Thanks for being the first person to actually giving a definitive recommendation.
Thank you for making this!
Looking to buy 1st nailer, thanks so much, getting 18 ga.
Simply and methodically explained, with clear and concise examples...thank you...subscribed just because of this video!
Thank you for this informative video, my wife and I are just getting into doing wood working and are presently trying to decide which nail gun to get . This was bang on in helping us to understand
Such a clear video and explanation. I use a 18ga nailer/stapler combo and it does everything I’ve needed too as far as furniture building.
Retired guy getting started with woodworking/construction projects. Very good instructional video thanks!
Thank you. You gave a clear explanation of something that was giving me a headache thinking about.
Great explanations and I got my answer on the different types of gauges , thank you
Thank you. I finally know the difference between these gauges numbers.
Thank you for the clarification.
Agreed to starting with the 18g! Well presented.
Thanks for the info. I watched a few videos about nailers but yours definitely informed me on what I need to start with.
Thanks for the great video, easy to follow and helped me decide where to start with my first nail gun
Thanks, mate. I really appreciate your experience and advice.
That was really helpful. I'm an amateur woodworker and also a teacher and your presentation was really clear and very helpful.
Thanks. You helped me decide on a well priced 18G nailer to build a pallet board wall.
Great instruction. I was always confused about nailers, now I get it. Thank you.
This was super helpful. Thank you.
No discussion necessary, your video says it all. Thanks.
You did a great job explaining everything without being to wordy. You were clear and right to the point. Very much appreciated

Thanks.this answers some questions I had. Thank you very much. I'm considering crown stapler for assembling cabinets.
You certainly have good presentation skills. Your video is very informative and very useful to those contemplating buying a nail gun.
New wood worker so your video was very helpful for me....thanks for sharing your knowledge
Love the pictures of the finish each size leaves you with, that's really useful. Thanks!
Thank you so much, did a great job explaining." I'm a new be" purchased the 18 gauge brad nail. Simplicity to the difference in the different types.
Thanks for the good info. Very helpful for a first time buyer
excellent explanation of the differences and uses!
Thank you so much
Thank you! I have been struggling to figure out what gun is best for what types of projects as someone who has never really used anything aside from a roof nailer. This helped a lot! Made me realize the smaller guns are more helpful and required for what I need.
Thanks for making a very helpful video. You've done a good job of answering the questions I've had in mind.
Bob Wolf Welcome!
thx buddeh
Thanks for posting. A great, quick explanation of the various applications for each gun/nail.
Thanks for explaining that, very useful. I have an 18 gauge which I find very useful for the stuff I make. I'm in the process of getting a larger nail gun and this had pointed me in the right direction.
This helped alot, thank you so much!
Very illustrative video. Thx for that!
Very informative and well organized. Nice job. I learned what I needed to learn from this video. The difference in application between 15 and 16 gauge was difficult to figure out. Thanks for explaining it.
Very informative, very easy to understand, thanks for posting!
Thank you for this video!! This is so helpful!!
great presentation
18 gage is my go-to stapler. I work a lot with 1/2 and 3/4 plywood for projects and for holding power, glue and the 18 brad is my best choice. My gun shoot 3/4, 1 inch, 1 1/2 inch, and 2-inch brads.
Watched your video before picking up a Milwaukee 18 gauge nailer, and found it to be super helpful working on a pretty big trim job. Thanks for the information.
Thx for good video!!
Thanks for the video!
Mighty fine info, I will be getting a brad nailer for DIY projects around the house.
Thanks for the video very informative 👍🏼
Thanks. Needed this in my life
Absolutely terrific video. I've been doing everything from framing to furniture on and off for half a century. I needed some practical, usable information and WorkshopAddict provided it. Thank you. What I learned for what I need to do next is 18 gauge nailer, combo with staples if that's a possibility, after that with the small frames I assemble a 23 gauge.
Will Nettles Thanks!
Exactly all the information I was hoping to find in one video! Thank you so much.
Thankyou for making it a simple decision for newbies, I’ve watched so many videos and yours is the best by far
Thank you brother
THANK YOU your info was very helpful i appreciated the demo on wood also
Andy, Thank you for that excellent video review. It gave me the information I needed to put down the hammer & nails and enter the world of pneumatic tools. I always wanted to, but just didn't know where to start. I'm new to woodworking so I went with a combo kit from Porter Cable. It came with a six gal. compressor, 16 ga. finish nailer, 18 ga. brad nailer, and an 18 ga. 1/4" crown stapler. I purchased a 23 ga. pin nailer separately. Now I'm ready to go. Thanks again.
Excellent introduction to the various size fasteners in this class and their relevant application.
I knew I needed 18 gauge and your video confirmed everything I needed to ask. Thanks 🇬🇧
very good ..
thx much for going over the difference in gauge nails and their uses cases i.e. 18 gauge being the all around most versatile nail to use with good holding pwr.
This is an excellent video. Great explanations on the usage of the different nail guns as well as well thought out recommendation. Thank you for taking the time to do this
Great explanation,helped me alot.
Thanks so much for this review. I have been out of touch on all the new equipment, and going to get back into making stuff. I could never afford toys like brad nailers, but they have come down so much. I appreciate your explaining the differences
Thanks. I just learned a lot!
Well done! This was very helpful.
wow simple and down to the point video...excellent
My first fastener was a rigid 18 gauge brad nailer. Love it. I saw at my local HD they had a rigid combo pack - 16ga and 23ga for 140. Swooped them both up thanks to this video!
Very cool!
Reassuring as I have an 18g airstrike. I didn’t buy 16g as I thought I would prefer screws if I wanted permanent strength. I often use the Brad nailer as a positioner and clamp.
