Which Brad-nailer.
I would like to purchase a power nailer. One where I don’t need a compressor. I’d like to spend less than $100 and I’d like it to accommodate small nails for lite and small projects. Any suggestions? Thanks.

DEWALT Brad Nailer Kit, 18GA, 5/8-Inch to 2-Inch (DWFP12231)
I have a Dewalt Brad Nailer and use it often. This info might help: https://www.constructionprotips.com/departments/cordless-brad-nailers-buying-guide/
They make electric staple guns that also shoot brad nails. Around $50. Other power nailers will be over $100.
Check Hard Freight. They have the best light duty tools & pricing I have found.
I will do that! Thanks
I would go to my local hardware store and look at them and see which one you think works for your purposes- and ask for help from the workers, they know the ones with best prices, least repairs, etc.
Most electric staplers’ brad nail size is too short for my needs.
Brad nailer works better for longer nails.
Thanks
I agree with Cheryl, it's best to see them in person. You may find your favorite is too heavy or weighted in a weird way, costing you extra time and money.
Thanks everyone.
