Hey Guys , May be looking to buy a finish and framing nailer and hoping someone out there can help me out.

I will be using them for small projects around the house so i will not need anything a contractor would use. Maybe a small shed , lean - to , door frames , trim lumber , etc ...

I would really like to know this .. I see you can buy nailers and nails in different " degrees " , 21,28,34 , what does the degree part mean ??

Clipped head and full head nails ?? All i have ever hammered in the big gauge nails is full head , what is the advantage of clipped head nails ?? Just a big finish nail ??

I have been thinking about buying these , they have good reviews ..

And how big of a compressor would i need to run framing nailer ?? I would like a compressor that you can carry around if possible.

Anything else anyone can add would help !!
