Hitachi's 18ga. brad nailer is the best on the market. It handles short to long and sets the heads on all of them even in 2" oak. Our company has used Bostich (takes 2 to handle from 5/8 to 2" brads) previous and  they are okay but not as good as this one. Excellent for installing casing,  base and crown moldings plus those little tacking jobs.
