Looking for a great gift for the handyman (woman) in your life? A pneumatic power nailer might be just the thing. Here's how to choose the right type and size for handy people. Pnuematic nailers can save hours of work and provide better results than hand-nailing. And, you will say good-bye to nasty hammer marks. The decision isn't whether to buy, but rather which one to buy. For small stuff, there's the 18-gauge brad nailer for about $80 to $140. For bigger projects, a 15- or 16-gauge nailer goes for $190 to $240. Remember: The smaller the gauge, the bigger and stronger the nail. In any size pnuematic nail gun, look for adjustable depth of drive, a soft rubber nose piece (that won't damage wood) and an adjustable rear exhaust to keep sawdust away from the face. Finally, while it's a great tool, it is, indeed, also a gun. So be sure the recipient is qualified to handle it.
