Which nail gun should I choose??

[Galtungs]

I am going to install about 140 sqm of beadboard/flush beadboard in the ceiling and want a nail gun that is driven by compressed air.

In a dream world, the nail gun could be used both for fine work (beadboard, etc.) and for nailing studs or rough boards for a new roof. I am going to build a shed later on, so I would like to be able to use the tool for both tasks.

Is there such a tool or are two different nail guns required?

There are 2 different nail guns you need. Which model is up to you and your budget. When it comes to the dyckertpistol, there are better and worse ones. The worse ones leave large marks in the wood.

That's my conclusion as well, I've gone for a Senco S900FN for tongue and groove and framing. I'll add a brad nailer when it's time for moldings, etc.

@Galtungs, you should know that there are two types of nails: 1.2 and 1.5 mm. So, obviously, the 1.5 mm ones leave a larger mark. However, with a tongue-and-groove joint, it's possible to install them in such a way that the nails are completely invisible.
