8 Best Brad Nailer for Trim, Molding, or Small Furniture Tasks

Key Specs

• Power: Pneumatic Air
• Brad Length: 5/8- to 2-inch
• Weight: 2.9 lbs.

Our favorite part of this nailer is the integrated air duster, a unique feature that uses the attached air supply to blast air out of the bottom of the handle. This allows you to conveniently clear dust and debris off your workspace, and increase the accuracy of your nailing.

The nose is also nice and narrow, making it easier to access hard to reach areas and tight corners. A reversible belt hook lets you keep the nailer within arms reach, which is always nice when you don’t want to set a power tool on a finished or delicate workpiece.

Key Specs

• Power: Battery
• Brad Length: 5/8- to 2-inch
• Weight: 6 lbs.

If you’re interested in the added mobility of a battery-powered unit, but don’t want to break the bank paying for one, this Ryobi option could be a great fit.

It costs much less than most other cordless options (although it doesn’t include a battery, so you’d have to supply your own), making this ideal for those who already have a Ryobi tool collection. It’s relatively simple to use, too, with a low-nail indicator to alert you when you need to refill, and the bright green color makes it easy to spot in a messy garage or worksite.
