Most pro framers, I have seen do not use compressed air, they swing a

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.


No kidding. You heard almost nothing but air nailers around here,
before the housing bubble burst. Both conventional homes, and at all
the mobile home factories before they shut down.
