What are my options for a finishing nailer without a compressor?

Power nailers of all kinds are becoming more common because they’re fast, accurate and fun to use. Paslode invented the first air-driven models in the 1950’s, and they currently make several combustion-fueled nailers that don’t require a compressor. Porter Cable also makes a new battery-powered nailer with a small, on-board compressor. There’s one more option, too. You’ll find an electric nailer from Arrow Fastener called the ET 125. It drives finishing nails from 5/8-inch to 1 1/4-inch long, powered via a plug-in cord.
