I am interested in purchasing a stapler/nailer for light work around the
house:
- There seems to be consensus regarding nailers that the air units are
best and that the electric are a waste of money. Any view to the contrary.
- Are there and preferred brands or brand to stay away from basis first
hand experience?
Thanks in advance.

Amy of the major brads will work well for a long time, People seem to have
favorites, but I'd look for a nail gun compressor combo for a good deal.
Porter Cable and bostitch both offer them.

I sort of old fashioned. I have an Arrow, T-50 Heavy duty with Brad
Nail option.

This i found to be pretty tough and reliable. Have been using it for
about two years now.

All the best, Mike.

You can get started with a brad/staple nailer from Harbor Freight for $20.
Swell for light duty jobs such as molding and baseboards.

I've got a small construction project pending (a shed), so I stepped up to
their framing nailer. 3 1/2 nail into a 4x4 is impressive.
