Nail size is more important than you might think when framing interior walls. Nails that are too long or fat are difficult to drive and can split wood, while short or thin nails just don't do the job. The best nails for framing are 3 1/2 inches long. These are called 16-d, or "16-penny," nails. | |||

Whether you're framing or installing interior trim, a power nailer makes your job easier. If you're looking into purchasing a nailer, the angle between the head and the nail magazine is one of the factors to consider. This angle is somewhere between zero and 34 degrees, with angles of zero, 21 degrees and 28 and 33 degrees being most common. The main advantage of a steeper angle is that it allows you to use the tool in tighter places. This is more important when you're doing interior carpentry than when you're framing. Electric and battery-powered wire nailers shoot smaller nails than pneumatic framing nailers, and they are more likely to have a 28-degree magazine angle than a 21-degree one.
