Hi Gang:

I have an up coming project to install a new hardwood stairway in our older home and am trying to get my ducks in a row before I start this project. Currently I have a 16ga PC finish (or is it a brad?) nailer and was wondering if this would be sufficient for use on 1" oak stair treads or if I should bite the bullet and get a real 15ga finish nailer for the project?

If it is the case for a new nailer, which one is the best choice; PC, Bostitch or Dewalt or none of the above?

As always, this board seems to be the most civil and helpful and trust your inputs.
