    IMHO you are better off with a Compressor and a pneumatic gun.
    I tried an electric one and it barely pushed a small tack into pine.
    I took it back and got a refund, and brought a Senco Finish nailer from Ebay 18 Gauge. The nail head is so small that you can hardly see them once they are driven in.

    air all the way, i have the aldi gun (on a non aldi compressor admittedly) and it's the job, until your nailing away with no nails in the gun and the piece just falls back to the ground :)

    I'd agree with that, air guns are very good. I have the aldi gun, and compressor, which was great value. My only fault with the gun, is it leaves a slot shaped hole in the timber, as if it has driven a staple.
