Thank you, Tool Fairy. - wood2woodknot - 07-24-2016
Not too long ago I posted a question about Ryobi and Porter Cable cordless braid nailers. I was sorely tempted to bite the bullet on the Ryobi, but the $$ weren't there, so I would have to wait...wait...wait !!! Well, yesterday the Tool Fairy stopped by. I guess I was a good boy. I found a Sears gift card I had forgotten about. Decided to stop by and pick up a couple socket wrenches I needed. While browsing, I found an electric brad nailer (just one on the shelf) for a fourth the price of the cordless Ryobi. The just found card covered more than half the cost and I had just enough spare change to cover the rest. The nailer would meet all my needs, just not be as fancy. Did a test run when I got home, and it will be perfect for my needs. It always seems things work out if you just have a little patience.

Craftsman # 68563 - Electric - takes 18 ga. brad nails from 5/8" to 1-1/4"
May not be the most powerful, but sank 1-1/4 into 1-1/2 poplar - just had to set a few heads with my nail set. Ran about 50 nails on a box build with no problems or jams on first project this afternoon.
