Strap nailer and floor gun are too specialized for me. Is there a benefit to having both 15 and 16 gauge nail guns? Do they fill different needs?

Bremon Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 The stapler shoots staples; |_| |_| |_| rather than brads | | |. From the side they still look like 18g brads but there are two of them and they are connected just like overgrown versions of staples in an office or school. We use 16 gauge staples extensively at work. @jkeating3 16 gauge is a larger brad nail, no head and nice for trim. 15g are actual nails, they have little heads, better for casing on doors, exterior trim, etc. Different roles, 15g has a significantly larger hole to fill than 16 thanks to a thicker nail and a nail head.
