Thank you, I am so glad I found you. I just lost my husband who use to do all of these things, he's no longer here and I don't have the funds to hire someone to do it so I have to learn to do it myself. My porch is falling apart and with the cost of lumber, I thought I'd tackle it myself. After looking at nailers, impact drivers and such at Lowes, I thought I'd do some youtubing. Thanks so much Melissa and I have subscribed and look forward to your videos. The Aged Lady.
As a cabinet installer, cordless nailers have been a godsend. No compressor, messy hoses or the need for electricity! The only took I rank higher is the vibratory/multi tool. Great video!
I was wanting to get some type of nailer for my wood projects. I've seen alot people use them on youtube to help secure a joint or to temporarily secure something and they look very convenient. Now I know that i need a finish nailer based on the examples you mentioned., thanks. Good thorough explanations.
I have a pin nailer and framing nailer besides the two you mentioned. My son and I replaced his front door with a larger door with side panels plus removed a patio door and replaced with a large window. Those projects took many nails. But the other one that I have and found much use for is a small crown stapler. It has been real handy for light construction.
I always wanted to get a nailer, and also a table saw and a miter saw. Finally two days ago, I bought an electric brad nailer from Amazon for $75. One day after I received it, they jacked up the price y $10. Anyway I do not know when I will really use this nailer but I already used it to nail a fence picket that was loose. I do not have too much need for nailers, but even if I use it once a year, it is worth it. I also like when a lady teaches men about tools, because men think only they have tools and only they know how to use tools. I want to encourage all ladies to learn from this lady and become good at handyman's jobs.
I have all ridgid tools also just finally got a brushless Ridgid brad nailer. Don’t know how i lived without it. They make a great mobile tablesaw got it 10 yrs perfect for everything
TY for the calm, methodical explanation. Went through a few man made videos that just went over my head and made me more confused. Enjoy your channel and its projects!
I think she nailed it. One thing you didn't touch on was weight. Battery powered tools tend to weigh more than their air powered brothers. I put the compressor in another room. I like my air nailers.
Thank you so much! Your videos have been so helpful for me while purchasing tools for my own DIY projects. I was so lost when it came to nailers, so thank you!
Your husband must really love you, to buy expensive tools😉 You do such a great job explaining tools & different types of tools, all with a delightful delivery & an unexplainable twinkle in your eyes. 👏👏👏👏
Hello, I want to put laminate flooring on my wall, the brand is Tarkett, which type of nail gun do you recommend? I don’t want to use glue because I may change it later on. Great video !
Hi there. My wife is beginning to do a lot of crafting. Would you recommend a nailer or a stapler? Or does it depend on the project? Thanks in advance.
I have a nice Bostitch 15ga. Finish Nailer that's brand new, never used, still in the plastic case, but it's 25 years old! Will this item become a collectible item?
A pin nailer is super tiny - 23 gauge and doesn't hold anything in place so I never use them lol. I'd rather use a short brad nail in any application one might use a pin nailer.
Pin nailers allow for precise nailing of delicate materials and the tiny hole is a huge plus on pre finished materials. They are great for cabinet trim installs.
So basically, eventually you'll want to get a brad, finish, and framing nailer if you want to complete projects across the entire spectrum of wood projects 😄 It's nice to know the difference though so I can choose which one to purchase first 😁
Hi I’m about to try to build a rodent rack. I think I’ll be using 2x2 or 2x4 pieces of wood. Do U think a finish nailed would have long enough nails or should I get a framing nailer. It will be 6 shelves tall to hold 25l sterile tubs that are around 4-6 tall. The mice that I will be breeeding will not be heavy at all. Each tub only weighs maybe 10 pounds times 6 shelves I’ve never done this before so I have no idea what I’m getting my self into. Also project two is since I will have a nailer. Maybe I can fix a 12ft section of my fence that fell down. I think since a fence picket is only 1/2 thick a finish nailer should work?
Hi Melissa, you should have invested in a good air hose, they are not too expensive and I have never had one pop off my compressor. In addition, they did not kink or get in the way so it makes all the difference to the experience
I bought this nail gun as we were planning to renew all the fencing in our back garden. As this involved 19 double slatted fence panels, 10 of which needed to be cut down in size, we knew there would be a need for a great ruclips.net/user/postUgkxHQsUrwNr5GQrnx9V4xDdUr56qxwuiBHt deal of re-stapling the wooden slats to the wooden framework. Each alteration required the re-stapling of 62 wooden slats with double staples. Prior to starting the work we ordered sufficient additional staples as per the instructions with the gun.The gun performed fantastically throughout the entire project with no jams of misfires. The adjustable power was excellent allowing the staples to be fired into the 8mm slats to the correct depth. For the price paid this was a bargain and it proved itself to be so reliable and versatile making an arduous task much quicker and professional. I cannot recommend this product highly enough and it will be used on many other projects in the future.
Wood glue is super strong, stronger than nails. So brad nails will suffice until the wood glue dries. Make sure you're using ample glue and you let it cure 24 hrs before moving it
I like the idea of Cordless nailers, but the weight of that 16" nailer looks to be too much. My dewalt 18 and 16" pneumatic are light and easy to work with. Also, for how often I used them, the price is prohibitive
They're both owned by the same company, Ridgid is meant to be higher quality and Ryobi is meant to be the less expensive/more beginner type tools. They don't always perform that way, but ya know. The company also owns Milwaukee.
Thank you, I am so glad I found you. I just lost my husband who use to do all of these things, he's no longer here and I don't have the funds to hire someone to do it so I have to learn to do it myself.

@Aryan Privilege what are you on about. Can't follow what you are saying
I was wanting to get some type of nailer for my wood projects. I've seen alot people use them on youtube to help secure a joint or to temporarily secure something and they look very convenient. Now I know that i need a finish nailer based on the examples you mentioned., thanks. Good thorough explanations.
Your so happy talking about your tools. We love it , so glad we found your channel!
This was REALLY helpful! I just searched the internet for how to pick a nailer, this popped up, and it really saved me a lot of poking around! Thanks!
Glad I could help!
examples were great. more informative than other videos covering these comparisons. great job
This is great thanks, easy to understand - subscribed! I can’t believe how many guys are in the comments being supportive, it’s nice to see
Perfect. Awesome video-short, sweet and direct to the point! Thank you!
I've seen around 10 videos, all men and didn't learn as much as this video. I'm surprised. Thank you.

Exactly what I needed!! Thank you so much for this video! Fabulous information
TY for the calm, methodical explanation. Went through a few man made videos that just went over my head and made me more confused. Enjoy your channel and its projects!
Great presentation.... you nailed it.
Excellent video. It answered all my questions about three nailers. Thank you very much
I had to tell you, great explanatory tutorial, thanks 🙏🏼
Great info on the nailers. Thanks so much!
Thanks for the understanding of the two different types of nailers and cant waite for the next video for the uses of them both thanks

This was super helpful. Thank you!
So helpful with explaining where to use them
Thank you, that information you provided was a great help
Wow!! This was so informative. Thanks!
Thanks for helping to clarify the difference in nailers. Definitely helped me decide on a brad nailer.
I think she nailed it. One thing you didn't touch on was weight. Battery powered tools tend to weigh more than their air powered brothers. I put the compressor in another room. I like my air nailers.
Pun intended? Lol
Right to the point . What I needed . Thnx
Very helpful. Can’t wait to more videos on how to use them.
Very helpful, thank you Melissa

Thank YOU for watching my videos - glad I can help! :)
Thank you, that clears things up! Very informative. I was thinking of getting a nailer and feel much more confident of making the right choice.
I’d love to get some battery nailers. Lol my next purchase is an finish stapler, and a million other things lol thanks for the video.
Awesome-ness ! Thank you for the info.
Amazing content!!
Fantastic, well explained, thank you very much
Great explanations, well done!
Great video, super clear and concise, you have great focus too. I'd like to know how you hung the faux beams(?)
I thought the finish nailer was the smaller size nail....thank you for clearing that up. I love my brad nailer.
Glad I could help!
Great video. Thanks!
Thanks so much for this video and info!
You are very inspiring, just subscribed and will be sharing with others. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Thank you so much!
Your husband must really love you, to buy expensive tools😉 You do such a great job explaining tools & different types of tools, all with a delightful delivery & an unexplainable twinkle in your eyes. 👏👏👏👏
Thanks for all info
Well explained thank you !!!
Great info and great video thanks for posting 👍
great explanation👍🏽
This was great. How would you cover a popcorn ceiling?
Excellent explanation!
This is a GREAT channel! No mansplaining (ugh!), right to the point, and you have a soothing voice. Great DIY info for so many projects! A+
Useful info, thanks
Absolutely love your video’s. Your sooo good. Have you got a particular trade or have you self taught yourself all your skills?
M
Good information
Just explained nailers and their use better than every manly dude in their garage on RUclips 😂 Great video 👍
So, which nail gun should I use to attach cedar shake siding.?
Very good video!
Hello, I want to put laminate flooring on my wall, the brand is Tarkett, which type of nail gun do you recommend? I don’t want to use glue because I may change it later on. Great video !
Ok from watching the video I would need the Ridgid Finishing nailer, but does it come in a angel type?
I don't have impressive arm strength so I opted to get a quiet compressor (don't want that heart attack when it turns back on!) instead of batteries.
Hi Melissa, for crown molding or baseboard, would you recommend 16 gage finishing nail or 18 gage brad?
Hi there. My wife is beginning to do a lot of crafting. Would you recommend a nailer or a stapler? Or does it depend on the project? Thanks in advance.
I have a nice Bostitch 15ga. Finish Nailer that's brand new, never used, still in the plastic case, but it's 25 years old! Will this item become a collectible item?
Your Awesome, keep up the good work
Great video!
Thank you! So helpful. Where does a pin nailer fit in?
A pin nailer is super tiny - 23 gauge and doesn't hold anything in place so I never use them lol. I'd rather use a short brad nail in any application one might use a pin nailer.
Pin nailers allow for precise nailing of delicate materials and the tiny hole is a huge plus on pre finished materials. They are great for cabinet trim installs.
So for a small table or bookcase a Brad nailer would work good
Notice the casual emphasis on "the nailer" when she says "it's not about the size" lol
You should consider starting a career as a sales person/demonstrator or teacher (or are you?).👍
Ha no, but my only career experience has been in sales. So maybe that counts?
Yes I need one
great video thank you
Very helpful thank you
Love your tee shirt.
So basically, eventually you'll want to get a brad, finish, and framing nailer if you want to complete projects across the entire spectrum of wood projects 😄
It's nice to know the difference though so I can choose which one to purchase first 😁
Don't forget your pin nailer.
This was extremely helpful and put in a realistic manner. Straight to the point!
Love your vids
is there a "good all around" nailer? I do want to install trims, but i also want to be able to install a door...
Very informative. Simple and easy. I went to their channels and they were long and useless.
Hi I’m about to try to build a rodent rack. I think I’ll be using 2x2 or 2x4 pieces of wood. Do U think a finish nailed would have long enough nails or should I get a framing nailer.
It will be 6 shelves tall to hold 25l sterile tubs that are around 4-6 tall. The mice that I will be breeeding will not be heavy at all. Each tub only weighs maybe 10 pounds times 6 shelves
I’ve never done this before so I have no idea what I’m getting my self into.
Also project two is since I will have a nailer. Maybe I can fix a 12ft section of my fence that fell down. I think since a fence picket is only 1/2 thick a finish nailer should work?
I think you can try it with a finish nailer. Add wood glue to some of the major supportive joints and it should be strong enough.
Hi Melissa, you should have invested in a good air hose, they are not too expensive and I have never had one pop off my compressor. In addition, they did not kink or get in the way so it makes all the difference to the experience
Thanks
How do you attach the boxes to the ceiling?
Thank you for tip madam 👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
very good video, thank you soon.

If I want to build a bookcase and plan on gluing the sides together, would a brad nailer suffice?
Wood glue is super strong, stronger than nails. So brad nails will suffice until the wood glue dries. Make sure you're using ample glue and you let it cure 24 hrs before moving it
How do you minimise leaking at the air hose fittings?
Make sure you tighten with a wrench and if it's still a problem I'd even consider using some plumbers tape.
I like the idea of Cordless nailers, but the weight of that 16" nailer looks to be too much. My dewalt 18 and 16" pneumatic are light and easy to work with. Also, for how often I used them, the price is prohibitive
Do you know if there is any difference between Rigid and Ryobi cordless nailers? I understand the latter is also a Home Depot brand.
They're both owned by the same company, Ridgid is meant to be higher quality and Ryobi is meant to be the less expensive/more beginner type tools. They don't always perform that way, but ya know. The company also owns Milwaukee.
Thanks for your response!
