I use a brad nailer/stapler from Harbor Freight, brand new is about $20. Bought new staple just yesterday, 5000 for 2.99. A tiny compressor is all thats needed to make your job SOOOOOOO much easier!

I probably bought the same one from Harbor Freight - an 18 gauge brad nailer. I used it to attach baseboard in the whole house, and to put up a board and batten wall, as well as numerous small projects. (We already had a compressor). It's corded, but all the battery ones required that you buy the battery separately. For the price, WELL worth it.

We have several air nailers but a couple of months ago I purchased the Ryobi battery powered nailer and love it!

A ton of folks think you HAVE to spend huge bucks for tools. Well, folks around sites like this ain't building new neighborhood's and skyscrapers....right? I've had mine for almost 3 years, the last one lasted almost 10 years....cost for both, a whopping $38. :)

I use mostly pine - don't think I've tried on oak. Believe the compressor needs to be at 100 psi - does your compressor go up that high?

Most of the time, I buy them at Harbor Freight, but, Lowe's or Home Depot or a good hardware store will have a good supply for more money.
