As I stated this varies from crew to crew. Sheeting, follow up, is

Some crews, here, will not allow powered nailguns on the job due to safety
concerns.


I guess I can't say what goes on in the UK, but if there were stats on
tool injuries, I'm guessing there would be more broken thumbs from
hammers than busted kneecaps from air nailers misfiring.


No Building Code or Electrical Inspectors, here, will will enter the
buiding if one is in operation. There are many reasons.


Again, I'd love to see these reasons. Those things are very powerful at
the tip. But the most damage you'll get from one being fired through
the air is a bit of a scratch, maybe a drop or two of blood. I suppose
you'd hurt your eye... but then again, I've been hit by more nails
ricocheting from bad hammer hits than anything else.

You can't shoot a guy full of holes, from across the room, like you see
in the movies.


I have used both. Guns are faster for me but then I can't drive a 3.1/2"
ardox nail in with one crack like the framers I know...LOL


Guns are faster for anyone.
