How have these reviewers tested it?
Note: the nailer works by compressing air, so the motor type is irrelevant.
The brushed motors work fine, you wont get £140 worth of benefits from brushless

I have previously used my 18g pin gun for wood/plaster coving and to hold picture/dado rails in place whilst I waited for the adhesive to set. That said, this was on walls with very thick plaster and I wasn't (often) hitting the brick work. The timber and walls were pretty level.
My 18G is compressor based. On the odd occasion that it did hit something hard, the pin would bend as it came out of the gun.
I did buy a corded Tackwise nailer/stapler. I wasted money on that piece of crud. The tackwise brads often get stuck in the side of the firing pin. Sure, it had quick release mechanism but I still needed to prise the firing pin forward to remove the brad (and this was mdf against MDF). Oh, and the flex is only about 1.5m- tight gits.
I never tried it for skirtings on old walls, it would not be able to pull the timber in.

18 Gauge and I think it probably just went into the plaster, without penetrating the blocks behind it. I've got plaster straight on to blocks in this propertywas it through plaster into wood??
18 or 16 gauge??
thanks for the feedback
No bending or block-up's. A couple didn't pull the skirting in but on a number of occasions, I could see that the nails pulled the board tight.
