Nail guns, or "nailers" as they're called by the trade, are handheld power tools designed to drive a large amount of nails quickly and accurately. Essentially, they do the same job as a hammer, but much faster, and with a lot less effort required by the user.

Don't get me wrong, a basic hammer will always be a tool belt staple — an invaluable instrument when it comes to general striking, and nothing compares to the satisfying feeling you get from sinking a nail into lumber with a pair of skillful whacks. But, for almost any high-volume nailing job, I'm picking the nail gun every time.

Since there are a variety of projects that require nailing, there are also a range of nail gun types to choose from. Luckily, they're pretty specialized in terms of what they can and can't do, so choosing the best type for you is fairly simple. Later in this guide, we go into greater detail about the four types of nail guns (framing, finish, brad, pin, and roofing) and power source (pneumatic, battery, or gas).

I decided to exclude a roofing nailer option, simply because if you're a professional roofer, you probably already know the best nailer or have a personal favorite for the job. That said, I made sure to include an option from the other common types listed above, so whether you're planning on framing a room or pinning together delicate woodwork, you'll find the ideal nail gun for you.

All of our picks are pneumatic except one battery-powered option. We disregarded gas-powered models because they require a lot of routine maintenance, which can get really expensive; we don't think they are suitable for most people.

As with any power tool, always use a nail gun safely and wear proper eye protection. Consider built-in safety features that prevent unintended discharges. If it's your first time using a nail gun, get some training from an experienced friend or a knowledgeable hardware store employee. When in doubt, do not use it.

While working in a custom furniture and cabinetry shop, as well as on a commercial carpentry crew, I have had the opportunity to use a variety of nail guns. I've used this experience, in addition to testing out several models I wasn't as familiar with, to narrow down this list to the five best nail guns you can buy.

Bostitch The Bostitch F21PL is relatively lightweight and easy to handle, while still providing the power necessary for all heavy-duty framing tasks.

If you're looking for an all-around nailer that can reliably secure lumber for framing, the pneumatic Bostitch F21PL could be just what you're looking for. Thanks to its magnesium body, it weighs only 8.1 pounds, and is rugged enough to stand up to tough job-site conditions.

My favorite characteristic of the Bostitch F21PL is the fact that, in addition to wood, it can be also be used on metal joist connectors. These connectors need to be nailed to the lumber through small holes, a job that standard nailers don't really have the accuracy for. Typically you would need a specialized nail gun for this job, but the Bostitch F21PL features a "positive placement" attachment that sets the tip of the gun squarely in the connector hole for accurate firing.

The magazine of the Bostitch F21PL holds 60 plastic-coated framing nails, from 2 to 3.5-inches long, or 60 metal-connector nails. The teeth on the Bostitch F21PL are nice and chunky, great for digging into wood while toe-nailing.

The trigger of the Bostitch F21PL offers both sequential and bump settings. Sequential firing means that every time you pull the trigger, one nail is shot out. Bump firing means that as long as you are holding down the trigger, a nail is fired every time you "bump" the nose of the gun against the wood. Bump firing lets you shoot a lot of nails in a short of amount of time, and tends to be easier on your hand as well.

It's a bit bulkier than some models, but the Bostitch F21PL has a really solid, balanced feel to it, making it comfortable to use on those long workdays.

Walmart The battery-powered Porter Cable PCC790LA features a multitude of color-coded wheels, lights, and switches to make it super simple to use.

The best thing about the battery-powered Porter Cable PCC790LA is that even though it's a great choice for seasoned professionals, it's user-friendly enough for a total beginner. If you're intimidated or unsure about using a nail gun, the Porter Cable PCC790LA goes overboard making the specifics of its operation as straightforward and unambiguous as possible.

Unlike other nailers that require a separate tool to adjust the firing depth, the Porter Cable PCC790LA features a bright red adjustment wheel, and a separate window shows you exactly where you're at. To make things even easier, a handy little diagram is printed on the side of the unit.

Its 20-volt lithium-ion battery makes it even easier to use, eliminating the need for noisy air compressors and annoying air hoses. Usually I would recommend purchasing a spare battery, but the runtime of the Porter Cable PCC790LA is pretty impressive, and since it only takes about 30 minutes to charge up again, it should be enough for most people. Plus, if you already own other Porter Cable tools, you can use their batteries as well.

A set of LED's on the front of the unit illuminate your workspace, so you can pinpoint your nail exactly where you want it. These work lights also alert you of any errors with the machine. By blinking in different sequences, it lets you know exactly what the issue is, whether it's a low battery, or jammed brad.

The Home Depot When it comes to interior finish carpentry, the precision and accuracy of the lightweight DeWalt D51257K make it a great choice.

Unlike framing nailers, finish nailers are used on more delicate, visible pieces of wood, so a no-mar tip is essential. The pneumatic DeWalt D51257K features an effective, low-profile rubber pad that protects your wood, and also provides a nice little bit of friction to keep the tip from sliding around. This comes in really handy when dealing with thin pieces of trim that can split if you don't hit them in just the right spot.

What I really love about the DeWalt D51257K is how balanced it feels in your hand. Its handle is wrapped in a solid rubber grip, and combined with it's lightweight 3.9 pounds, the DeWalt D51257K is comfortable to maneuver and operate.

A small feature that makes a big difference is the integrated belt hook on the bottom of the DeWalt D51257K. Instead of having to set down your gun every time you have to find more nails, or place a piece of trim, you just hang it on your belt and its ready when you need it.

I have always been impressed with the reliability of the DeWalt D51257K, and have probably had only five or six nail jams over the years. Even those times it did jam, the DeWalt D51257K was easy to get back in action, you just pop the front open and clear it right out.

The DeWalt D51257K only has a sequential trigger (so no bump mode), but with most finish work you're not really moving fast enough to need one. The DeWalt D51257K uses 16 gauge nails between 1 to 2.5 inches, making ideal for base trim, crown molding, window casing, or door frames.
