"Recently, I worked on a kitchen remodel where we had to install intricate crown moulding, and a high-quality cordless nailer delivered consistently clean results..."
Fair point, cordless nailers have definitely come a long way. But honestly, for really delicate trim or cabinetry, I still find myself reaching for a pneumatic. Maybe it's habit, but I feel like the air-powered models give me a bit more control and consistency, especially when working with hardwoods or stain-grade finishes. Could just be my comfort zone talking though...
Totally get where you're coming from—pneumatics do have that reassuring feel, especially when precision counts. But honestly, I've been surprised lately by how much cordless tech has improved. Did a built-in bookshelf last month with some pretty delicate maple trim, and my cordless nailer handled it without splitting or misfires. Might be worth giving it another shot sometime...though I get it, old habits die hard.
