Pneumatic or cordless nail gun — which should I buy?
Reviewer consensus
Across the reviewers we read, pneumatics still win on weight, consistency, and price-per-shot if you already own a compressor and don't mind dragging a hose. Specialist carpentry threads on r/Carpentry and r/Tools repeatedly note that cordless framing nailers are heavier and pricier, while pneumatics fire all day without battery management. Cordless wins for punch-list work, ladders, and remote sites.
