It depends on what kind of projects you have in mind. For structural woodworking most recommend using a 21-30º framing nailer. If you’re looking for the best nail gun for fencing, consider either a framing nail gun or a 16-gauge finishing nailer. For trim projects you’ll likely want a finishing nailer such as the 16 gauge NuMax (our #5 pick) or the 18-gauge Porter Cable 20V brad nailer (our #2 pick.) Either of these types can make a case for itself as the best all purpose nail gun.
