Pneumatic Nail Guns For Trim Work & Top Nailing

There are two types of pneumatic nail guns many professionals carry. That old fashioned manual top nailer has all but been replaced in recent years with air driven tools. Instead, pneumatic nailers are used, making the job go quicker without the brute force it took to whack the top nailer. Considering there are dozens of selections on the market we've only chosen Stanley Bostich and Senco pneumatic tools shown below.
