This is a very helpful video. Thanks.
This looked more like a commercial for the Bosch 16 gauge nailer than a buying guide. I would have liked to see more information on which gauge to use (by project type, by wood species, etc.) or which length brads/nails to use (and, by extension, which nailer to buy). Side topics which could have been addressed include safety and accessories. Overall, I think this was rather superficial and incomplete.

The video was: Tips for using a Finish Nailer – WoodWorkers Guild of America
Hi George, thanks for the new video. I watched one of your other videos on finishing nailers and you made a point to drive the nail perpendicular to the wood, but on this video you use it parallel to the wood. What has changed?
With the stark grain angle on the face frame piece in the Tips video, it would work better to hold the gun perpendicular to the face frame. In the Buying Advice video I wasn’t as concerned about technique as I was about showing the benefits of different features nail guns might have.
Even if you hold the nailer parallel to the face you can angle it to avoid BLOWOUT. So why do you need to work perpendicular?
