Bit of a side note. I discovered that it is possible to operate a brad (or finishing) nailer off a floor pump. The air volume used per cycle is low enough. My compressor was out of commission once, so I tried it. I had to hold the end of the air hose into the presta chuck with one hand while pushing down with enough force to create 100psi on the guage. In the other hand I operated the nailer.

A possible solution for when you can't get your compressor close enough to your work location, or you don't have access to power. For many nails, it would be best to have a friend operating the pump.
