That increases the maneuverability of the tool greatly and cuts down on maintenance, both of the tool itself and the compressor. But over the last few years, the cordless battery revolution has reached pin guns too, severing the compressor cord.
23 GAUGE PINNER PROFESSIONAL
Traditionally, professional carpenters and woodworkers had to rely on a compressor to drive 23-gauge pin nails. It leaves tiny holes that usually don't require touchups and keep things steady while the glue dries. (Image credit: Milwaukee) Choosing A 23-Gauge nail gunĪ 23-gauge nailer isn’t a must-have for a DIYer, but if you work with pre-finished moldings, cabinets, flooring trim, small pieces of molding, mitered corners and returns, it can be a real time-saver.
Unlike 18-gauge and 16-gauge nail guns, where there is a lot of overlap in the tasks they each perform, using a bigger nail when the project calls for a 23-gauge pin can make more work if you split the wood or have to go back and touch it up with filler. Big, fat 15-gauge nail guns are bigger than a dinner plate and will hold up heavy, pre-hung doors whereas a 23-gauge nailer is about 8x7-inches, 3 pounds, and fires fasteners that excel at holding thin pieces of molding. Like all nail guns, the size and shape of the fastener dictate the jobs it's best suited for. When it comes to finished material, like the moldings that accompany kitchen cabinets or pre-finished hardwood flooring, that speeds up installation. That means the hole they leave behind virtually disappears so you won’t have to fill, sand, and finish the wood, which is ideal for pre-finished parts. Called a pin nailer, this class of tools – which can either rely on a compressor a rechargeable battery – fires a thin wire that has no head, or a very slight one. But professional carpenters and woodworkers have been using pneumatic 23-gauge nailers for years. The 23-gauge pin nailer is likely the one nail gun DIYers are unfamiliar with, especially compared to the popularity of 18-gauge tools.
