It is interesting how we view nail guns vs guns (firearms type). I think we are not as careful with nail guns for whatever reason. I shudder to think what if the nail were longer or entered from a different direction into the brain. This man is fortunate to be able to survive this event. I guess next time I use my nailer, I will be sure the air hose is not tangled before attaching it to the gun, to disconnect the gun if I am not going to use it for a while, and finally treat the nail gun like I would a firearm.

Dalec’s advice is right on – treat your nail gun like a firearem. Treat it with a lot of respect and pointed “down range.” -- Tom, Surfside Beach, SC - Romans 8:28 |

How can we as a people redefine dumb so many times a year. Lets leave stupid to the president… They dont call these tools “nail applicators” The call them GUNS. They should be treated as such. -- making sawdust.... |

OOOH that going to leave a mark. Walk it off. You’ll be OK. I gave a demo at home depot and you should see how the lawyer instruction were written up. Be careful out there…. -- Dominic, Trinity, Florida...Lets be safe out there. |
