I have been wanting a nailer for home use, but do not really care for a
pneumatic one since I would need to drag a hose and compressor around.
I have seen some electric brad nailers, which handle different lengths
of nails, for decent prices. What are the differences between an
electric and pneumatic nailer?
Thanks

Unless you spend $200 + I don't think you would be happy. Dewalt makes a
rechargable one that works well for $300.00
On the other hand you can buy a decent air brad nailer at HF for $19.99

The biggest difference is the pneumatic one will work the electric one will
on some very light work (that you could do with an 8 ounce hammer and nail
set). If you have a compressor get the air nailer if not weigh what it would
cost to get a good enough electric one to do what you want to do verses
getting a compressor and a decent nailer, compressors are a very handy thing
to have if you do much of anything around the house?

The pneumatic will work, the electric is junk. Save a trip to the store.
Find out the price of the electric, then just flush that amount of money
down the toilet.
