Dear Edward and list members:
The pass-load nail gun has become the tool of choice, here in hillbilly
country, especially for framing. One draw-back with this tool, is the exhaust
gas which follows each explosion. If the area is not enclosed, this is no
problem, but if a person is highly sensitive to airborne pollution, avoiding
the pass-load might be the best
choice.
For finish work, I still prefer the battery powered electric nail gun, as
the noise level is much less, and the recycle rate is much higher than one
might expect. When I was a student at the Tennessee School for the Blind,
just post the Dark Ages, a major renovation was done, following a tornado at
the school, and since the buildings were brick and concrete, all of the new
fasteners were nailed in to place with the gun type of nailer. Romeo and
Juliet were never more loudly discussed, and the history lessons
on the civil war never were more spell binding. I believe they were using 45s
in those days.
Yours Truly,
Clifford Wilson
