The finishing nailer is your best all-around nailer for indoor trim and similar jobs. This uses shorter, lighter gauge nails, usually 14 to 16 gauge, 1” to 2½” nails. This is used for mouldings around windows and doors, baseboards, chair rails and such, as well as cabinet making.

The primary difference between a brad nailer vs finish nailer is that the brad nail gun shoots 18-gauge nails whereas 16-gauge or 15-gauge nails are used in the finish nailer. On the other hand, a finishing nailer is what you will use for most of the carpentry and woodworking jobs though you may need to putty the hole.
