Tools, Sharpening and Power Machinery - finish nailers

Looking to buy and I can't decide on angled or straight. I figured the angled would be better for tight spaces. Why would someone want a straight one?What would you recommend? Mainly for crown moulding and household stuff. Thanks.

There are uses for both.

An angled one is able to be maneuvered a bit easier in some spots but I find, here anyway, that the nails are quite a bit more expensive and often are not available in jobber brands.

The straight one is better for when you are nailing thin material and can use the base as a guide to shoot straight.

I have two 18 guage nailers and a narrow crown stapler and have not found a place I really couldn't get in to.

I have a straight and have replaced all my trim and baseboard. Can not remember needing an angled to get to any spots. My framer is angled and if you are nailing between two studs it helps.

I have a straight finish nailer and have not found any job that it can't do for me.

Can Someone recommend a good finish nailer for molding and trim work and a good compressor.

Thanks

I use a straight Bostich 18guage brad nailer with 2" brads for all my moulding work and it works great. An actual finish nailer (15 guage or 16 guage) might give slight more holding power but I can use 3/4"-2" brads to hold my wood working projects together (untill glue dries),etc. and haven't felt the need for the larger. It is small overall and can fit into any spot. The small pancake or twin tank compressors are pretty heavy but make takeing air up to the 3rd floor easy and produce plenty for nailers, I even run a hopper gun for texture patching with it, and car repair air tools (rachets, impacts).
