Hello,

I was researching finish nailers. I understand I need 16 ga?

One owner said he never top nails the first few boards.

Why is this and what do you guys recommend?

The first few rows...topnail the 1st row where the baseboard covers, and toenail. The next couple rows, toenail.

The last few rows...use PL Premium in a zig zag pattern. The last row topnail where the base covers.
