What's wrong with one of these.. saves all the hassle of those fiddly flat pack
fixings.


3 nails a second, and a lovely aftersmell of burnt propane :-D
And when you disable the safety mechanism, they can fire for about 100 yards, just enough to pick off a running chav.

Wrong thread, mate. That is Chuck Norris's weapon  :-P


Nah.. even that Paslode is girlie by Norris's standards.

Now this compressed air powered one is more his style..


Chuck Norris is so hard, he doesn't need a compressor, he can just fart into the air hose :-)

BTW, during all your years as a radiographer, have you ever come across anything like this ?

Nice tool ...  but  ...  nails are inferior fasteners!

When building, the pullout strength of screws is superior to nails!!!!


Screws have far less shear strength compared to nails, and take longer to use. Both have there strengths and weaknesses, it just comes down to choosing the best fixing for the job, we still use oak pegs at work to hold stuff in place.
