Hi Tere. I'm Cindy. I asked my husband your question. He used a lot of battery operated tools when he used to work for a school district. He wanted me to tell you that you need a finishing nailer. The decent ones start around $150. and go up from there. A good alternative would be to rent one. You will need the nails either way. Home Depot and Menard's both rent them. Good luck Tere.

You want a brad nailer; The 18-gauge brad is so ideal for most projects that it is typically the only size available in stores. Use an 18-gauge brad to hang paneling. https://www.thesawguy.com/brad-nailer-vs-finish-nailer/ Purchasing Considerations

Brad nailers drive the fastener using a pneumatic surge; corded machines generally work better than cordless and are typically cheaper. For the infrequent user, cost might be a priority, but a sound purchasing decision should also be influenced by the power with which the brads are driven and whether there is a setting to change drive depth. Other factors include the ease with which the nailer can be disassembled and reassembled in the event of a jam, the ergonomics of the handle and trigger and the amount of recoil experienced on firing. Some manufacturers build in a low-to-empty indicator, which can save a great deal of irritation.

Numerous companies manufacture brad nailers, of which the following are representative at time of publishing. Hitachi's NT50AE2 features a mode selector, which allows for trigger firing, or "bumping;" bumping means the machine fires a brad when the barrel is pressed against the surface to be fastened. The Milwaukee 7150-21 is built with a magnesium housing. This keeps machine weight to a minimum and consequently reduces user fatigue, particularly important when working on projects like paneling where at least part of the job is likely to be above head height. The Senco 25 is a cordless unit capable of delivering four drives every second, with approximately 1,000 drives between battery charges.Info on them https://www.google.com/search?safe=active&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS750US750&ei=UHpaXNXLFKe60PEPxfCJ0A0&q=best+low+cost+electric+brad+nailer&oq=best+low+cost+electric+brad+nailer&gs_l=psy-ab.12...62445.66325..69012...0.0..0.137.879.7j2......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i71j33i10.NkGjGWelqjc

The Ryobi nail gun is budget friendly and easy to use for beginners. The battery is sold separate. Look on Amazon to see if you can find it cheaper than Home Depot.
