I am about to install aluminum soffit and facia on my house. I saw that Lowes has a Hitachi 18 gauge Pneumatic Brad Nailer on sale. Is this what I would need to install soffit? If not, what would I need?

Aluminum nails and a hammer.

I've got that bradder and it'll punch that little 18 guage nail right through the aluminum.. Not enough head on the brads to hold soffit anyway.

For soffit, roofing nails.
For fascia aluminum nails with about 3/16" heads.
