When assembling cabinets and other projects, you can use a straightedge to help position your brad nailer for securing the joints. Set and clamp the straightedge about 1/8″ off the centerline of the joint to account for the bumper on the tip of the gun, then butt the nailer’s tip against the straightedge before squeezing the trigger. It’s an effective way to center the brads and keep them neatly lined up while also speeding up your nailing process.
