Default compressed-air drills

Most pro framers, I have seen do not use compressed air, they swing a
hammer. Try carrying a nailgun up into a framed roof rafter assembly
while hanging on to the last truss member you hammered in to get at
the next piece. A hammer and puch full of nails makes an easier climb
and the nials are removable for a few eeks until they rust or set
into the wood.


It's a mix. The hammer still has its place but to say that most pro framers
aren't using nailers is, well... bull. You need to look more closely.
