and you get perfectly set fasteners whether you're paying attention or
not.


Lets see any of your screws out hold my ribbed 8 inch pole barn nails.
and nails dont crack in half. *Like when I made a small section of
shed roof 2x4 framing using black drywall screws. *When I lifted the
section in place it all fell apart because the damn screws broke. *I
had to start over, and used 30D ribbed pole barn nails. *No problems
after that.


30d nails aren't even close to 8" long.
I can't make up my mind whether you're stupid or just pretending to be
stupid.
Okay, I've made up my mind - it doesn't really matter.
