For what it’s worth I use an angled 16ga for what you describe. Never used a non angled.

Paslode. It's put down a lot of quarter round. If I'd go again, I'd probably got bostich. The 16ga is perfect.

It was me, Johnny Hopkins, Sloan Kettering, and Brad Nailer. And we were blazing that schiet up every day after school.

Thanks. ' Angled gets the nail rack away from the work, which I like. I like a bigger 2-1/2" brad for base. I used 15ga 2-1/2" in my SFN40. I've also hung light rezzie doors with it. I also had a "pin nailer" straight rack (18ga) for the thin side of the trim where I couldn't use the larger brads. Also depends on nail availability in your area and how much you are going to use the gun. Personally, I would want a pin nailer in addition to the brad nailer. If you are doing work that requires a glue up, it's nice to have a pin nailer around to hold the work while the glue sets up.

I am not a carpenter but I am a Milwaukee addict and have the 18 volt one. I love it my friend who is a carpenter loved it so much when I loaned it to him bought one. I guess it depends on what cordless tool you already own.

Thanks. FYI... 18 ga is typically 90 degrees. 16 ga is typically 90 degrees. 15 ga is typically 34 degrees... or sumthing like that. I own about 20 nailers... The HF pneumatic junkers just simply work (and I abuse the crap out of them)... that is my pneumatic advice. As for battery... I bought some Ryobi... They kinda suck other than a bit of tacking.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

I have a Bostitch pneumatic 18 I’ve had for a long time. Mostly for building furniture but I’ve nailed a lot of trim and moulding with it. I bought a Ryobi battery 18 while the Bostitch was being repaired. I find I use that far more often now. Both are 90 degree nailers and both work well. Never tried the angled ones other than my big framing nailer.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

No Battery Nailer experience at all.
My DeWalt Air spit the bits. We sent it in, and months later it came back unserviceable, and had never been taken apart. NOT IMPRESSED!
Replaced it with a Paslode. So far it works fine. Always used straight Trim Nails.

Nails for trim. Not brads! Brads for small stuff. Metabo (Hitachi), Senco air. DeWalt seems good electric. I'm too old for all that. Paslode passed gas and left.

Not familiar with that brand. Bostitch makes quality nailers. Dad was a contractor and used them and was also big on Hitahi and Makita.
