Nail Guns for Framing, Trim, Roofing, and Siding
Nailers drive fasteners faster and more consistently than a hammer, and each type is built for a fastener size and job. This hub covers framing, finish, brad, and pin nailers, roofing, siding, and flooring nailers, and crown and cable staplers, in both pneumatic and cordless versions. Featured lines include Milwaukee M12 and M18 FUEL nailers and DeWALT 20V MAX models. Start with cordless nailers or framing nailers, and pick up compressors for air tools.

Cordless Nailers
Battery cordless nailers skip the hose and compressor. Options include the Milwaukee M18 FUEL brad and framing nailers and the DeWALT 20V MAX XR brad nailer. Browse Milwaukee nailers and DeWALT nailers.
Framing Nailers
Use framing nailers for walls, floors, and sheathing. The Milwaukee M18 FUEL comes in 21-degree and 30-degree versions, each with an extended capacity magazine sold separately. Add nails to match the collation angle.
Finish Nailers
Finish nailers set 15 and 16 gauge nails in baseboard, casing, and door jambs. Cordless options include the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 15-gauge finish nailer for trim work with no hose on site.
Brad Nailers
18 gauge brad nailers hold light trim, cabinet backs, and moldings with a smaller hole than a finish nail. Choices include the Milwaukee M12 FUEL compact brad nailer and the M18 FUEL 18-gauge.
Pin Nailers
23 gauge pin nailers leave almost no hole and hold small trim while glue sets. The Milwaukee M12 23-gauge and DeWALT ATOMIC compact pin nailer are both cordless.
Staplers
Staplers range from narrow crown for cabinet and upholstery work to cable staplers for electricians. Options include the Milwaukee M12 3/8 inch crown stapler, M12 cable stapler, and DeWALT 20V MAX cable stapler.
Roofing Nailers
Coil roofing nailers drive short, wide-head nails through shingles fast. Check that the depth setting suits your shingles so heads sit flush without cutting through.
Siding Nailers
Siding nailers drive longer coil nails for lap, panel, and trim siding, with depth control to avoid crushing the face of fiber cement or wood.
Flooring Nailers
Flooring nailers set cleats or staples through the tongue of hardwood flooring at the correct angle with a mallet or air strike.

Nailers FAQ
Which nailer should I buy first?
For trim and home projects, start with an 18 gauge brad nailer. It handles most moldings and small builds. Add a 15 or 16 gauge finish nailer for baseboard and door casing, and a framing nailer only if you build walls or decks.
21-degree or 30-degree framing nailer?
21-degree nailers use plastic-collated full round head nails. 30-degree nailers use paper-collated nails and have a more compact magazine for tight framing bays. Check local code for nail head requirements before you choose.
What do I need to run a pneumatic nailer?
You need a compressor sized for the tool, an air hose, and fittings. Small pancake or hand-carry compressors run trim nailers; framing and roofing crews need more tank and airflow.
What is a cable stapler for?
A cable stapler drives insulated staples over electrical cable to secure it to studs and joists. Cordless models from Milwaukee and DeWALT make rough-in faster than a hammer tacker.
