Porter-Cable, Campbell-Hausfeld, Bostitch and others in this price range seem fairly comparable. Do any of the various brands stand out as especially good or especially not good for any of you folks?
My older son says my HF brad nailer works just fine - cost about $20. I've got a little $50-60 compressor that should be great with it. I dunno tho, he "borrowed" the brad nailer before I had a chance to use it, haven't seen it since.
Unless you plan to do a whole lot of brad nailing, I'd get as big a compressor as I could afford, you never know when you'll need the extra capacity.
JOAT It's not hard, if you get your mind right.
