I am wanting to purchase my first nail gun. I want it right now for nailing quarter round to my baseboard, BUT I think I would like to use it for woodworking projects when I can.

Since brad guns shoot from 5/8" to 2" brads I was thinking that it would be fine for doing the quarter round (even though finish nailer is probably better suited) and then I could use the shorter brads for wood projects.

Does this sound like it would work or would a 16ga finish nailer that shoots 1 1/4" as the smallest be the best route.

Do you guys use a nailer for wood projects, I never have since I don't own one but maybe I would not use it as much as I am thinking or would I use it more than I am thinking. Suggestions?
