This is type of nail gun is a "must Have" tool for any carpenter or joiner who regularly does trim carpentry or second fix work as it is known in the UK and Australia.

The main advantage of a nail gun is of course speed, but there are a couple of other advantages over just using a hammer. No bent nails, ever. The ability to set the nailer to just drive the nail head just below the surface, so that there is no need for punching the heads for the painter.
