Unlike many equipment, nail guns aren't meant for general purposes - there is no all-purpose nail gun that you can use with all your work. Nail guns are built carry out specific jobs, so before buying a nail gun it's extremely crucial to know the jobs for which it will be used.

The kinds of nail guns available are:

- Roofing and Siding nail guns: These nail guns are built the specialized task of setting up either siding or roofing. They store large numbers of nails that are designed specially for the job at hand (siding or roofing). They are most-often coil-type nail guns that require air hose fittings in order to be connected to an air compressor hose.

- Framing nail guns: These are designed drive bigger (1-1/2" to 4") box-type nails into bigger pieces of wood. These nail guns usually be heavy and big and are normally stick-type nail guns, they there're some coil-types available too.

- Finish nail guns: These nail guns are sometimes also named as pin or brad nail guns. They are designed for fastening small finish-type nails into smaller pieces of stock. These nail guns tend to be smaller and lighter than framing nail guns, and they're normally used for finishing or trim work. They are normally stick-type nail guns.

Once you decide on the variety of nail gun you require, a few other attributes that are useful to have and which you should consider are:

- A directional exhaust output. While nails are driven in, air is expelled from the tool. It is extremely nice to have this adjustment so this air isn't ending up into your face.

- A convenient-to-use depth adjustment. Almost all nail guns have some sort of adjustment to control the force with which the nail is delivered. By means of this adjustment, your nail is not sticking out of the surface, or sunk in too deep far in. Several nail guns need tools to perform this adjustment, others could be set by hand and they are almost always much quicker to adjust. If you suspect you will want to be changing this adjustment fairly often, the simpler and quicker it's to set, the the happier you'll be with your nail gun.

- A good-sized gun trigger. If you are going to be using your nail gun in frigid weather, you'll probably be wearing gloves. In this case you will want to make sure you have a large trigger so you can use it with gloves on.

- If you are planning on nailing a lot of nails, should think about the capacity of the nail gun along with the ease with which nails can be loaded into the gun. Buying the correct nail gun in this regard can save you lots of time, or lose you a lot of time if you make a bad selection.

- A swivel on the air connector to the nail gun. If you move around often with your nail gun, this will help reduce the tangling of your high pressure hoses.

Lastly, make sure you research the reviews for the nail gun you are looking at. Researching an instrument in a store or on the web, it is actually difficult to make sure how well it will work in the field. By consulting the reviews of people that have used the nail gun, you will get a much better feel for how this nail gun will work for you.
