Hey all,
I'm going to put baseboards as i go, and wanted to check what's recommended to use with the baseboard - brad or finish nail? I was going to pick up something form either Lows or HD. I guess one that would do 1"-2" nails?

Any comments?

I use this Brad Nailer, been going strong for 3 years, cant beat it for 25 bucks, like it better than my Bostitch :shock:

I use 1 9/16" for installing base. It shoots a "slight head brad", real tiny hole.
