What kind of nail gun should I get to build boxes faster? I've seen them used to build boxes faster by nailing the boxes instead of using screws. Now what I'm looking for is the type of air gun not a brand. For instance, do I need a finish nailer, framing nailer, or brad nailer? Also, what kind of nails should I get?

I've been reading all over the forum and when I couldn't find the information that I was looking for I decided to post a new topic. The only problem is I think I might have posted in the wrong forum. How can I move it?

I thought I had listed it here, but I didn't. I use a pneumatic 18 gauge brad nailer that will handle up to 1 9/16'' long brad nails. If you're using material larger than 3/4" thick, look for a 16 gauge brad nailer.
