This handy little cordless staple and nail gun is great for hobbies. It weighs just over 1 kg. It can still put staples or brad nails into wood without much effort at all. It’s probably the simplest little nail gun I’ve had a chance to use as well. There are no dials to fiddle with, it’s simply a case of load it up and get firing.

The nail or staple length will vary between nail guns so you may well want to compare this feature. As much as cordless power tools have changed the face of DIY and what you can get done “off grid”, there’s nothing worse than waiting for your batteries to charge up. If you don’t need a battery-operated nail gun, then save yourself some money and go for a corded nail gun. You get all the power you need and there’s no waiting around when your last battery has gone past the red. Firing Modes Since v-nails are most commonly used in picture framing, this guide exemplifies how to install v-nails in a frame successfully. I would argue that if the frame is clamped and laying on a flat surface, the trauma is at least distributed across all 3 or 4 members though focussed on the footprint of the handheld v nailer. With a pneumatic handheld v-nailer, I imagine this trauma is greatly reduced because of the inherent speed of the nail entering the mitre. Using a V nailer, you can easily create edge and face frames for cabinets and other furniture pieces.We have covered the main types of nail guns available, but there are a few others that are essential in many trades. Here's what you need to know:

Also known as an underpinner, the V nailer takes the bitch job of joining a picture frame using right angle vice, glue and nails; and turns it into a cake walk. Slide two sides of the moulding into the fencing, and with the foot operated pedal – the pronged, front clamp (adjustable to accommodate a moulding up to 4″ wide) skims just under the rabbet, biting into the meat of the wood and forcing the miters together. A hand operated depressor brings the top clamp down (120 PSI for each clamp). And… those two pieces of moulding aren’t moving!

This DeWalt nail gun is mechanically powered which means you don’t need to use gas. This also allows the nailer to be used at a wider range of temperatures than gas-powered products. It’ll also save you money on running costs. The brushless motor is maintenance-free and long-lasting. The nailer is powered by an Li-Ion battery. This is a bare tool so the battery is not included, but this high-quality nail gun still makes extremely good value. If you need to set any decorative molding, a V nailer is the perfect tool for the job because it makes it easy to get into hard-to-reach areas and ensures all pieces fit together nicely.gauge nails are used in a brad nail gun, whereas 16-gauge or 15-gauge nails are used in a standard finish nailer. Finishing nailers can handle bigger nails, but as with brad nails, the head will be small and the hole created will be easy to fill. When to use a Brad Nailer
