We have 2 types of nail guns in the Woodshop: the pin nailer and the brad nailer.
-
The pin nailer uses smaller nails that have a very small head, making them less visible. They are weaker and have less holding power, but aren't as visible. They are a good tool for holding boards together for adhesive.
-
The brad nailer uses a larger nail, although it is still relatively small. It is stronger than the pin nailer, but has a larger profile. This is more of a general-purpose nailer, which can be used with glue as well as by itself.
