Is a cordless brad nailer powerful enough for baseboards and trim?

Reviewer consensus

Across the reviewers we read, modern 18V/20V 18-gauge cordless brad nailers consistently sink 2" brads flush in pine and most engineered trim. For dense hardwoods, thick casing, or 2-1/2" runs, mainstream reviewers and specialist subreddits recommend stepping up to a 16-gauge or 15-gauge finish nailer instead.
