How to Choose the Right Cordless Nailer
Power Source (Battery vs. Fuel Cell)
Some nail gun cordless models run on batteries, while other models use fuel cells for extra driving force. Fuel cells may have a greater cost in the long run, as it is suggested to have backup fuel cells to avoid project delays.
Nail Size and Capacity
As illustrated above, nail guns are designed for specific length and width nails, with longer nails for framing and smaller gauges for finish work. The magazine capacity, or amount of nails stored for use at one time, should be considered for minimizing reloads on long jobs.

Do it Best offers cordless nailers from trusted brands like DeWalt, Paslode, Makita, and Milwaukee, known for durability and professional-grade performance. Using matching fuel cells or battery platforms ensures optimal tool operation and long-term reliability.
