I'm a beginning woodworker, this video is excellent, and Anika is among the very best teachers on TH-cam.
That means so much thank you!
I felt exactly the same : ]
Agree 💯
Ditto!
Excellent comparison and info about the different nail guns. When building a huge room addition back in the early 1980s, I used a hammer and nails with a set punch for door jams, built in shelves, and moldings. One of the great advantages of nail guns is that you are not beating on things with the hammer. The nail gun shoots the nail in without the pounding--which can shake other things loose.
Hi Anika, thank you so much for this video. I went to home depot to get a nail gun, only to realize there were so many kinds. I had to come back home and watch a bunch of vids - Your video helped me to decide to go with the 18 brad nail gun. I also love that you talk about safety, how to use it properly. I'm subscribing your channel!
The author does like to from scratch, th-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.
is this a riddle? :D
This is the BEST video on explaining nail guns I have seen on You Tube! Thorough but not over confusing.
You are SOOOOO awesome for helping those of us who are beginners. I'm a new homeowner and I really appreciate your guidance and how you totally explain everything for DIYers. Thank you kindly beautiful and many blessings to you!
Happy to help!
Thanks so much for this video. I just bought a brad nailer for a project I'm working on and I am so glad I bought the correct tool. I am a complete beginner and I am so glad to see a woman teaching all these useful information. Thanks again.
Welcome to the channel! So glad to have you! Have fun with the project!
Thanks for such a clear, straightforward video. As promised, you answered all my questions!
Great! Came away knowing all I needed to know in Buying my first nailer. Was just doing a glue up with titebond wood glue. everything smudging around, things moving, sliding, skating on the glue. Would have been TRIVIAL if I had a nail gun to keep everything together. while the clamps went on. Came in determined to get one...but realised I didn't know anything about them. Thank you. Well presented and clear. Thank goodness for the internet and folks like you. Will
Thank you so much. Exactly the information I was looking for with details, no off topic discussion or music. Straight to the point!!
So glad to hear!
Thank for the explaining the differences so clearly! I will be installing baseboards in masonry walls and have been researching which nailer I needed. I may even feel adventurous and try a small wood working project.
I hope you do! I believe you can :)
After watching this and other videos, you really have left me with no questions unanswered. Thank you very much.
This video was so informative. It is very difficult to select a tool. You really did a great job breaking down the information! Thank you!
Really helpful Thanks
Anika’s explanation of the different tools, sizes, types, use, etc. is fantastic! I went to several websites to get info. Anika does it all, in a concise and easy to understand format. Love this site, now I know what nailer I need for my project! Thank You Anika!
Awesome! Thank you so much!
Thank you!! I’m in the market for one of these and now have decided to get the 18-gauge Brad nailer battery operated. Very clear explanation!!
Glad I could help!
You are an excellent teacher. I learned more from this video than from all the burly tool guys I watched previously. You gained a subscriber.
Wow, thanks! Glad to hear!
Very well done video. Content explained clearly, in a logical order, and at a level that assists but does not insult the beginner.
You are so kind! Thank you this is entirely my goal
Great video! I was shopping for a nail gun earlier, Ivwas a bit confused about the 16/18 gauge nails. You summed it up perfectly. I knew I needed a brad nailer for a feature wall and finishing nailer to repair some fascia and other projects. I didn't have a total understanding of the different gouges being specific to each gun.
Glad it helped!
Wow! That is great explanation on the differences on 3 nail guns and the uses. This is very helpful as I was confused on which nail gun to purchase for my project. Thanks!
great! so glad it was helpful to you!
Thanks so much for the thorough explanation! I've been looking into purchasing a nail gun and was a bit iffy as to the choices. Great clarity from you! Thanks again.
You're so welcome!
Great explanation. I’ve been looking at so many different cordless nailers, and you’ve answered my questions. 😁
Glad I could help!
Super helpful thank you so much for sharing! I needed this. 🙏🏻
Thank you so much. I am a beginner and starting on a few DIY projects and landed in a same situation. This video helped me to understand this tool ecosystem clearly.
Thank you 😊 thank you 😊 thank you! On my way to get my nail gun & excited to start using it.
That’s a great video for beginner. Even as a intermediate DIY person, this video gave me a good clarity .
Very detailed and helpful video. Thank you. I have the 18 gauge ryobi and I love it!
you're welcome! glad it was helpful for you Kelly!
This is a wonderful video, thanks! I'm planning to purchase some nail guns but have been looking for information on what to get and why. This is great information, cheers!
Love your video. It was so so helpful and I feel more comfortable in making a decision on which nailer to buy as well as getting started on my project. You Rock!
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful!

Glad to help!
This is a great video. It has a ton of insightful and you are so smart.
Thankyou for such a an awesome, in-depth and detailed vid on this, very helpful! 😁
This is a really good video with a lot of useful information for beginner woodworkers and crafters. I have the entire lineup of Ryobi Airstrike 18v cordless nail and staple guns. They work very well, and they are a great bang for the buck (compared to the more expensive red, yellow or blue colored tool brands). The trick to keeping battery powered nailers working properly (and to prevent jamming) is to put a few droos of lightweight oil in the nail channel at the front of the nail gun (recommend by the manufacturers). Also, "technically" most battery powered nail guns are "pneumatic" tools, as the battery powers a small built-in compressor, that propels a piston, which shoots the nail. I also have a whole set of air compressor powered pneumatic air-nailers, but I find myself using the Ryobi battery operated nail guns a lot more these days. The battery powered tools are just really convenient. The other two useful, and popular, air powered "nailers" that were not covered here are the framing nailer and crown stapler. The framing nailer (straight or angled) uses very large 16d (penny) nails, and it is really useful if you are joining larger lumber like 2x4's and above. The crown stapler is very useful (and a must) for installing crown molding, baseboards, fiberglass insulation, wood and foam siding, and roofing tar paper. A good stapler is also a must for doing upholstery work. The two-pronged staple holds much better in these applications than a single shaft nail. The smaller crown staplers will take the common T-50 staples, from 1/4" up to 7/8" long, while the larger crown staplers will take larger staples up to 2" long or more. Ryobi also makes great crown staplers (large and small) as part of their 18v Airstrike collection. I just wanted to give a few more useful tips and suggestions for the beginning woodworkers and crafters out there. Keep up the good work!
Thank you friend.
Which stapler do you find yourself using the most for upholstery? Do you think the 2 in 1 brad nailer/staplers are any good?
This is the exact video I needed. I need to put new 1/4 round mounding in my entire house and a nail gun is on my list of needed tools. Thank you for easily explaining everything.
Glad you found it helpful!
@trophynuts Which did you purchase and were you happy with it and was there anything you learned using it that's not covered here?
Thanks for sharing Anika. I really needed it😊
I'm so glad!
Great video with a load of information. One thing I would add is that when applying face frames you should always hold the nailer perpendicular to the outside, not parallel, to decrease the problem of blow out that you mentioned in your video. As you said, trust me, i've been there. Trying to remove the nail and repair the damage can be frustrating.
Great tip!
First time I have seen one of your videos. Fantastic presentation and extremely helpful. Thank you

You are so welcome!
I recently started woodwork (blah blah blah - I'm visiting soo many sites to learn from I need to stop myself from giving my woodwork life story on every one I visit lol) and I need one of these. In the first 4 minutes I fell in love with you. You explain things so easily with no pointless frills. As you were speaking I made a decision based on your descriptions to go for the 18 gauge electric nailer. I was very happy when at the end you said that would be the best option for all rounder which is a testament to your teaching.
Thank you VERY much for this video. You got a new sub and I look forward to watching many more of your videos to learn more.
Much love from the UK : ]

This channel is great! Anika's tool introductions are so helpful. Do you have a video about cabinet trim installation? I'm planning to install 3/4 in trim around my cabinets and need to make sure I cut everything properly.
Not yet! but this might be helpful? www.anikasdiylife.com/trim-window-with-bullnose-corners/
