Hi, I need to trim my entire house and have bought a compressor and need some recommendations on the size of nailer I would need to best do the job. As far as I can tell, I would want to purchase either a 16 or 18 gauge unit, or possibly, it might take both, but I don't know.
I would primarily be installing the smaller trim pieces around the room and window casings. Trim would likely be clamshell molding, ranch casing, quarter rounds and shoe moldings.
Would I best be served by a 16 gauge unit, an 18 gauge, or would I need both. I think that as far as I can tell, 16 would be ok for the ranch casings and similar sized trim, but I'm unsure of using a 16 on the smaller quarter rounds and shoe moldings. Would I need an 18 gauge unit for that, or can you use a 16?
Thanks for any help,
Danny
