Per your original post though it sounds like he really just needs some clamps
OK guys: I've been interested in getting a brad nailer for a while now. I have some interior trim projects that a nailer would be very useful for, and I also want to build some shop cabinets and fixtures where a brad nailer would also be handy.

There's a Porter-Cable Compressor + 3-tool kit that is currently on sale for $200. This periodically goes on sale at Amazon and HD, and right now Amazon has it on sale. I've heard good things about this kit from people on this sub, and despite it being loud AF it is very reliable and gets the job done.
​
However, someone recently suggested picking up a cordless nailer. Not needing a noisy compressor + the benefits of pure portability seems like really great features to have. Online reviews for the tools I'm looking at (This Porter-Cable and Dewalt) seem like two really great tools.
​
So the question goes: Should I buy the 'traditional' compressor and tools kit, or get a cordless nailer?
I like the Porter-Cable packages. I bought a 3-piece kit around 10 years ago from Home Depot, its been used a ton and never had any issues with it and over the years i've added a few more air tools to the collection.
Here are 2 within the range your looking to spend. For a house addition you'd want to add a framing nailer.

I did a few hundred sqft. I bought prefinished oak online and installed it. Watch a bunch of youtube videos of pros to understand the process, it's not that hard.
If you're going to take your time doing it, it may be worth buying tools. 2 weekends of rental was what it cost me to buy the pneumatic nailer. I already had the air compressor and finish nailer. That way I was able to take my time instead of rushing to get the tools back. It took roughly twice as much time as I was expecting so it was a good investment. Plus the air compressor and finish nailer will be used time and time again.
I've been doing 2-3 projects a year and may bump that us as I become more proficient so I want to invest in a air compressor and nailer. I've had good luck with porter cable tools so far so I was looking at this one: 6 Gal. 150 PSI Portable Electric Air Compressor, 16-Gauge Nailer, 18-Gauge Nailer and 3/8 in. Stapler Combo Kit (3-Tool).
I've made this loveseat and 4 of these Outdoor Chaise Lounge's to name a few. I'm going to be making this bed and this portable mitre saw stand very soon with more projects on the way.
What do you think would keep me happy for a few years down the road, but I could expand the tools fairly inexpensively if I wanted to?
