I do a lot of home DIY woodworking stuff (building shelves, etc.). Would this nailer do the job?

Yes it will. Try to keep the battery fully charged..It tends to slow down when nailing.

Consider that, 18 gauge nails are very thin, they can not carry heavy constructive elements as screws do. You can not really built with them furniture. But they are good for wainscoting (together with glue), attaching crown moldings, baseboards and temporary joints. I bought this particular gun only because I do a lot wainscot and not planning to buy air compressor (have no extra space for it). Besides, this gun does great job and is friendly in use. Another point: sometimes is money save to buy air compressor and few air activated tools, such as nailgun, sender, paint gun, because this range of tools is much more cheeper. Good luck!

I think you would need one that can shoot bigger nails. This one works good for trim and top nailing flooring where you don't want big nail holes. I'm not much of a carpenter. I bought one of these for a floor we did and the trim work. Good luck.

I have not tried but I think the tool has the power to do it granted you stick with a 150 PSI compressor at least. It might boil down to the brad nail it self if it holds up when met with a harder surface than wood. Why not try liquid nails instead(glue) for your job? Hope that helps.

For occasional and light duty work I would say yes. The compressor is very quiet and yet has quick recovery and holds good pressure. I would not agree to professional or prolonged use with a spray gun or any high cfm consumption tools. This handles my nail guns and airs an occasional tire with ease.

Actually this was my first nail gun and I haven't even used it yet. it takes a decent size nail. So I believe it should be ok for your needs, maybe first look at the nail to judge for yourself. I wish I could be of more help but perhaps google it for more definitive answer

Either this or an air nailer would work. If you are doing fine finish work I would suggest an air driven brad or pin nailer. This works very well for trim/baseboard work and you don't have a cord or hose to deal with. I do prefer my pin nailer for fine finish work though.

Yes- you set the air pressure on the air compressor to set the force with which the nails are set. It will work on any wood, but make sure you get the right length of nails for your job depending on your sub-floor.

I do not know the answer. I purchased a smaller nailer to handle the finer work..

It doesn't shoot any nails; it acts like a hammer. I've used it for framing 10d - 16d (.131" - .162") and didn't have any problems. I don't think it'll (properly) drive finishing nails or the like, but I presume this tool is made to drive .121" and larger nails.

It works fine with my brad nail gun, so I'm sure it would work great. It just has to turn on pretty often to keep up, but it keeps up with continuous brad nailing with no problem.

This is a finish nailer. You are going to want a framing nailer and use ring shank galvanized nails. Check out the bostitch f28ww

yes it will. my wife cut her nail time less than half with this unit and loves it. It also comes with everything you need.

This is a GREAT finish nailer; I would not use this to nail 3/4" stock (1x4-1x6 lumber). It is good for a decorative lattice at the top;). 1x4 or 1x6, or even 1x8 will 'cup' as they say, therfore due to cupping you need a nail/screw with a large 'head' ( 6 penny common galvanized at least). You could use this Wen to 'tack' your pieces (and then use larger nails or screws later). ;)

Yes, it is the same nail gun I used when residing my house with Hardiplank in 2010-11. It works very well. It can be adjusted rather delicately for depth of nail drive. FWIW I used it with Hitachi electrogalvanized nails.

Depends on use. For occasional use this is great. Handles all nail drivers. Would not keep up with a commercial operation. Need a larger tank for that. Maintains pressure well for home projects.

It should run a framing nailer. It has 2 ports but run one gun with it and it has decent recovery time. I use it for blowing sanders out and nailing hardwood floor patch areas mainly. I have used it for nailing large rooms as well .

This nailer is not designed for that type of project. The nails are only a pin not thicker that a sawing needle. You need a framing nailer like: Hitachi NR90AE(S) 3-1/2-Inch Full-Head Framing Strip
