When trying to build kitchen cabinets I became frustrated with the hammer and nail-set method. So, I bought this little-wonder and was amazed how well it worked. I screwed the cabinets to the wall and also the ceiling on the upper cabinets. Otherwise, the only thing I used was this Grip Rite 18 gauge brad nail gun. No glue, screws or other nails. And the cabinets are strong as a rock. I would normally recommend using other fasteners except for the way I built them. I used far more supports than you would find in the average built kitchen cabinets. Such as, full length 1x2 boards in the corners plus several cross supports. The combination of the extra supports and several brads made for very sturdy cabinets. I also used the brads on one-quarter inch inserts for the doors without splitting the wood. And I was able to build the cabinets in a fraction of the time than using the old method. I was amazed just how versatile this tool is. I then put up crown molding with ease. I am sure I will be able to find many other projects to use this brad nail gun on. I have had no misfires or any other problems. The Grip Rite is less than 3 pounds which is up to half the weight of some others. It is easy to load and use and I highly recommend it.
