What nails does the DWFP12233 use?

It uses 18-gauge brad nails from 5/8 inch to 2-1/8 inch long. That covers trim, casing and light assembly work.

Does it need a compressor?

Yes. It is a pneumatic tool and needs an air compressor and hose. It has no battery or cordless mode.

Yes. The light body and narrow nose suit baseboard, casing and small molding. For heavy structural fastening, step up to a larger gauge.

It is lighter and has no battery to charge, but it is tied to a hose. Cordless models cost more and add battery weight.

The nailer comes with a no-mar tip and an owner's manual. Air fittings and brads are usually sold separately.
