Do you have a compressor or does it need to be electric?
Electric brad nailers are so handy! But, they are more like powerful staple guns compared to pneumatic nail guns. This electric dewalt brad nailer has great reviews.
Arrow makes a quality one.
I’ve a Stanley that does both brads & staples of different crown sizes for $25 at HD.
It takes other brands of brads & staples.
If you want to use rather long brads, then make sure you read the size capacity it will take.
This one isn't crazy expensive and has great reviews: https://amzn.to/2ZikZ5X
