Thank you, I am so glad I found you. I just lost my husband who use to do all of these things, he's no longer here and I don't have the funds to hire someone to do it so I have to learn to do it myself. My porch is falling apart and with the cost of lumber, I thought I'd tackle it myself. After looking at nailers, impact drivers and such at Lowes, I thought I'd do some youtubing. Thanks so much Melissa and I have subscribed and look forward to your videos. The Aged Lady.
As a cabinet installer, cordless nailers have been a godsend. No compressor, messy hoses or the need for electricity! The only took I rank higher is the vibratory/multi tool. Great video!
I was wanting to get some type of nailer for my wood projects. I've seen alot people use them on youtube to help secure a joint or to temporarily secure something and they look very convenient. Now I know that i need a finish nailer based on the examples you mentioned., thanks. Good thorough explanations.
I have a pin nailer and framing nailer besides the two you mentioned. My son and I replaced his front door with a larger door with side panels plus removed a patio door and replaced with a large window. Those projects took many nails. But the other one that I have and found much use for is a small crown stapler. It has been real handy for light construction.
I have all ridgid tools also just finally got a brushless Ridgid brad nailer. Don’t know how i lived without it. They make a great mobile tablesaw got it 10 yrs perfect for everything
I always wanted to get a nailer, and also a table saw and a miter saw. Finally two days ago, I bought an electric brad nailer from Amazon for $75. One day after I received it, they jacked up the price y $10. Anyway I do not know when I will really use this nailer but I already used it to nail a fence picket that was loose. I do not have too much need for nailers, but even if I use it once a year, it is worth it. I also like when a lady teaches men about tools, because men think only they have tools and only they know how to use tools. I want to encourage all ladies to learn from this lady and become good at handyman's jobs.
TY for the calm, methodical explanation. Went through a few man made videos that just went over my head and made me more confused. Enjoy your channel and its projects!
Thank you so much! Your videos have been so helpful for me while purchasing tools for my own DIY projects. I was so lost when it came to nailers, so thank you!
A pin nailer is super tiny - 23 gauge and doesn't hold anything in place so I never use them lol. I'd rather use a short brad nail in any application one might use a pin nailer.
Pin nailers allow for precise nailing of delicate materials and the tiny hole is a huge plus on pre finished materials. They are great for cabinet trim installs.
I think she nailed it. One thing you didn't touch on was weight. Battery powered tools tend to weigh more than their air powered brothers. I put the compressor in another room. I like my air nailers.
Hi I’m about to try to build a rodent rack. I think I’ll be using 2x2 or 2x4 pieces of wood. Do U think a finish nailed would have long enough nails or should I get a framing nailer. It will be 6 shelves tall to hold 25l sterile tubs that are around 4-6 tall. The mice that I will be breeeding will not be heavy at all. Each tub only weighs maybe 10 pounds times 6 shelves I’ve never done this before so I have no idea what I’m getting my self into. Also project two is since I will have a nailer. Maybe I can fix a 12ft section of my fence that fell down. I think since a fence picket is only 1/2 thick a finish nailer should work?
I have a nice Bostitch 15ga. Finish Nailer that's brand new, never used, still in the plastic case, but it's 25 years old! Will this item become a collectible item?
Hello, I want to put laminate flooring on my wall, the brand is Tarkett, which type of nail gun do you recommend? I don’t want to use glue because I may change it later on. Great video !
Hi there. My wife is beginning to do a lot of crafting. Would you recommend a nailer or a stapler? Or does it depend on the project? Thanks in advance.
Wood glue is super strong, stronger than nails. So brad nails will suffice until the wood glue dries. Make sure you're using ample glue and you let it cure 24 hrs before moving it
They're both owned by the same company, Ridgid is meant to be higher quality and Ryobi is meant to be the less expensive/more beginner type tools. They don't always perform that way, but ya know. The company also owns Milwaukee.
Hi Melissa, you should have invested in a good air hose, they are not too expensive and I have never had one pop off my compressor. In addition, they did not kink or get in the way so it makes all the difference to the experience
Your husband must really love you, to buy expensive tools😉 You do such a great job explaining tools & different types of tools, all with a delightful delivery & an unexplainable twinkle in your eyes. 👏👏👏👏
I do mention the pneumatic nailers are less expensive than cordless. Differences in price between brad/finish/framing nailers do not vary as much as what brand you buy.
I like the idea of Cordless nailers, but the weight of that 16" nailer looks to be too much. My dewalt 18 and 16" pneumatic are light and easy to work with. Also, for how often I used them, the price is prohibitive

This was REALLY helpful! I just searched the internet for how to pick a nailer, this popped up, and it really saved me a lot of poking around! Thanks!
Glad I could help!

Very helpful, thank you Melissa
I have all ridgid tools also just finally got a brushless Ridgid brad nailer. Don’t know how i lived without it. They make a great mobile tablesaw got it 10 yrs perfect for everything
This was great. How would you cover a popcorn ceiling?
Thanks for helping to clarify the difference in nailers. Definitely helped me decide on a brad nailer.

Great video, super clear and concise, you have great focus too. I'd like to know how you hung the faux beams(?)
Wow!! This was so informative. Thanks!
Thank you! I’m looking to get a nail gun, thank you for the information!

Right to the point . What I needed . Thnx
This video is exactly what I needed! Thank you!
Thank you Melissa. This is a great video with all the information needed to make a purchasing decision.
Thank you for being a good teacher and explainer!!
TY for the calm, methodical explanation. Went through a few man made videos that just went over my head and made me more confused. Enjoy your channel and its projects!
I feel ya, woman-made videos are on another level, much much better. Those stupid men, i wanna throw up 🤢 when i think about these filthy creatures
Great videos - very helpful!
Well done love, very helpful :)
Awesome-ness ! Thank you for the info.
Very helpful. Can’t wait to more videos on how to use them.
Thank you so much! Your videos have been so helpful for me while purchasing tools for my own DIY projects. I was so lost when it came to nailers, so thank you!
Thank YOU for watching my videos - glad I can help! :)
Thank you, that clears things up! Very informative. I was thinking of getting a nailer and feel much more confident of making the right choice.
Thanks
100% useful and done to perfection.
Thanks for all info
So, which nail gun should I use to attach cedar shake siding.?
I’d love to get some battery nailers. Lol my next purchase is an finish stapler, and a million other things lol thanks for the video.
This was so helpful thanks so much
Great video. Thanks!
Fantastic, well explained, thank you very much
Good information
So for a small table or bookcase a Brad nailer would work good
How do you attach the boxes to the ceiling?
Great explanations, well done!
Great video! You answered all my questions.
Thank you! So helpful. Where does a pin nailer fit in?
A pin nailer is super tiny - 23 gauge and doesn't hold anything in place so I never use them lol. I'd rather use a short brad nail in any application one might use a pin nailer.
Pin nailers allow for precise nailing of delicate materials and the tiny hole is a huge plus on pre finished materials. They are great for cabinet trim installs.
is there a "good all around" nailer? I do want to install trims, but i also want to be able to install a door...
Amazing content!!
I think she nailed it. One thing you didn't touch on was weight. Battery powered tools tend to weigh more than their air powered brothers. I put the compressor in another room. I like my air nailers.
Pun intended? Lol
Thanks so much for this video and info!
I thought the finish nailer was the smaller size nail....thank you for clearing that up. I love my brad nailer.
Glad I could help!
Hi Melissa, for crown molding or baseboard, would you recommend 16 gage finishing nail or 18 gage brad?
great explanation👍🏽
Well explained thank you !!!
You are very inspiring, just subscribed and will be sharing with others. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Thank you so much!
Absolutely love your video’s. Your sooo good. Have you got a particular trade or have you self taught yourself all your skills?

Great info and great video thanks for posting 👍

I think you can try it with a finish nailer. Add wood glue to some of the major supportive joints and it should be strong enough.
Useful info, thanks
I have a nice Bostitch 15ga. Finish Nailer that's brand new, never used, still in the plastic case, but it's 25 years old! Will this item become a collectible item?
Excellent explanation!
Hello, I want to put laminate flooring on my wall, the brand is Tarkett, which type of nail gun do you recommend? I don’t want to use glue because I may change it later on. Great video !
Ok from watching the video I would need the Ridgid Finishing nailer, but does it come in a angel type?
Hi there. My wife is beginning to do a lot of crafting. Would you recommend a nailer or a stapler? Or does it depend on the project? Thanks in advance.
great video thank you
Yes I need one
Thanks 👍
Very helpful thank you
How do you minimise leaking at the air hose fittings?
Make sure you tighten with a wrench and if it's still a problem I'd even consider using some plumbers tape.
This was extremely helpful and put in a realistic manner. Straight to the point!
Very good video!
Thanks this info,,have a nice day...🤝🤝 MALAYSIA
Thank you for tip madam 👍👍👍
very good video, thank you soon.
Your Awesome, keep up the good work
If I want to build a bookcase and plan on gluing the sides together, would a brad nailer suffice?
Wood glue is super strong, stronger than nails. So brad nails will suffice until the wood glue dries. Make sure you're using ample glue and you let it cure 24 hrs before moving it
Love your tee shirt.
Do you know if there is any difference between Rigid and Ryobi cordless nailers? I understand the latter is also a Home Depot brand.
They're both owned by the same company, Ridgid is meant to be higher quality and Ryobi is meant to be the less expensive/more beginner type tools. They don't always perform that way, but ya know. The company also owns Milwaukee.
Thanks for your response!
I don't have impressive arm strength so I opted to get a quiet compressor (don't want that heart attack when it turns back on!) instead of batteries.
Love your vids
No sé qué dice, pero me gusta escucharla ...y verla.
Great video!
This is a GREAT channel! No mansplaining (ugh!), right to the point, and you have a soothing voice. Great DIY info for so many projects! A+

Melisa-what about the prices ???
I do mention the pneumatic nailers are less expensive than cordless. Differences in price between brad/finish/framing nailers do not vary as much as what brand you buy.
@@WelcometotheWoodsBlog Thanks for the info.love your videos.very inspiring .
Just explained nailers and their use better than every manly dude in their garage on TH-cam 😂 Great video 👍
Very informative. Simple and easy. I went to their channels and they were long and useless.
Interesting 🤔👍👌
Notice the casual emphasis on "the nailer" when she says "it's not about the size" lol
I like the idea of Cordless nailers, but the weight of that 16" nailer looks to be too much. My dewalt 18 and 16" pneumatic are light and easy to work with. Also, for how often I used them, the price is prohibitive
