I'm starting a home remodel and need some advice on nail guns. I'm focusing on trim work, doors, cabinets, shelves, and closets—nothing too heavy-duty like wall framing. Although my main experience is in concrete work, I'm tackling this project myself. I'm open to getting a couple of different nailers if that makes sense. What do you recommend?

You'll definitely want to check out a few tools. A great combination would be the M12 23 Gauge Pin Nailer for precision work, along with the M12 FUEL 18 Gauge Brad Nailer for trim and cabinets. You might also want the M18 FUEL Framing Nailer just in case you need it for any future projects. If you do any stapling, the M12 Crown Stapler is also a handy tool to have around! It should cover most of your needs for this renovation.
If you're planning on moving any electrical wires, the M12 Cable Stapler will be very useful. It's a handy tool for quickly securing cables without fuss. Just something to consider as part of your toolkit!
I'd suggest getting the M18 in both 18-gauge and 16-gauge. Those two types will really serve you well for your project! They provide a good balance of power and precision for the tasks you're doing. Just make sure to choose between the straight or angled design based on your comfort and the specific tasks you plan to do.
