Hello,
I would like some advice on buying a power nailer and compressor. At this point, I don’t have a need for a brad nailer or a pin nailer, but I would like to have a nice finish nailer and a nice compressor, so here are my questions:
First, if I want to do such things as install chair rail molding through sheetrock walls and into the studs behind them, am I correct in assuming that I do need a finish nailer, not just a brad nailer?
Second, I’ve read a lot of postings on the forum which seem to suggest that the oilless "pancake" type compressors that I see at Home Depot and Lowe’s are noisier than other types. Is this true, and is the fact that they are noisier the only reason that I’d want to consider a non-oilless compressor? I don’t think that I’d mind the noise, as long as there are no other shortcomings with that type of compressor.
