Default How to properly use a hammer on nails?

I heard that the remington gun nailer is very loud (almost like a gun
shot) is that true?


They *are* gun shots. A 22 cartridge. How loud depends on the load...more
powder = more noise. It also = more driving force and therin lies the
problem...selecting the correct load for the work at hand. Too low and the
nail won't penetrate fully; too high and you may well wind up with the nail
driven completely through a board. One can't use the same load to attach a
piece of soft wood to concrete block that one would use to attach it to
concrete. Concrete varies in hardness too. Sometimes from spot to spot.
