No, it's called PRODUCTIVITY. Look it up.
Youth? The carpenter I hired was in his fifties, and walked on the job with a pneumatic nailer.
You strive to be an angry old coot. Well, you made it.
You've proven nothing other than you're an angry antique, stuck in the buggy-whip days.
Yeah - and before cars became commonplace, there were far fewer reported cases of people getting killed in head on horse collisions too.
So are table saws.
Your rant would have been totally acceptable up to this point. On this one, you are all wet.
Damn, I'm going to have to tell my kids that this is what they are when they get home from their jobs, and their studies, and their other activities. They'll be surprised to know this about themselves and I'm sure they will be genuinely appreciative for your having made them aware of their condition. Unfortunately, they can't respond for themselves because they are too busy with productive lives to spend any time on usenet like you and I. So - I'll respond for them... Ready... Here it comes... Bullshit!
The collective group here stands in awe of you.
OK, anything with a cord is dangerous, very dangerous. You can should use a hand saw from now own unless you are too weak to operate a hand saw. Apparently you have not used a nail gun enough to realize that they truly are cheaper to operate than a regular hammer. Time savings is immense.
Your are a foul mouth SOB also. No need for you here.
Easy, there! Yes, he didn't have to use strong language, but he DOES have a point!!!
Do you where safety goggles when you hammer? It is recommended by my hammer manufacturer, but I fail to fully follow those directions and that makes me subject to a serious injury.
The same applies with a nail gun, as in cases I've read about injuries and it always seemed that safety mechanisms were disabled by the user.
I can tell from your experience that you can drive a 16d nail with two strokes of a hammer. With a nail gun, pull the trigger. Hammers make my old hands hurt and aggravate my arthritis (claw hand).
You are not wrong for wanting to hammer everything. I'm very judicious with my nailers, but I still don't wear them safety glasses... oh well.

I need a new key board: "wear".
My parent's generation certainly thought so. Some of their generation is angry at what we have too.
They're loud. I have mine in the corner of my basement and plumbed around the basement and into the garage. A 50' hose gets me to pretty much anywhere in the house and most of the outside. I leave the noise behind.
It's only a couple of GPM, so likely not.

I have one of those compressor/gun kits, too. It works well, functionally. But I wear ear muffs when I use it. And my grandson hollers when the compressor cycles.
Not nearly enough, unless what you're using is a Critter sprayer.
It's a good tool, but it has limitations. They all do.

I left mine powered on one night (remember, it's in the basement plumbed around the house). My son and his fiancee stayed overnight that night and it just about scared them green (they were on the floor above it). I slept through it. ;-)
Agreed. I bought it as a starter kit. I've been most happy with Porter Cable tools. ...though I just found out the replacement battery for my PC 14.4V drill I killed is worth $75. :-(
Mine's in the garage. There is a cat door from the garage to the kitchen. I have five cats. They like the garage, lots of places to snoop. If you are in the kitchen and hear the compressor come on, stay clear of the door or you will get run over.
I thought about putting it in the garage but it gets cold out there (-20F) and didn't think it good for the compressor.
The mental picture is just too funny! (we have two cats, one quite skittish)
Loud and noisy--but it works well. :) It's an oil-less type system.
I doubt it has enough capcity/volume/flow/etc. to handle spraying. It's fine for driving the nail guns, a blower nozzle and inflating tires--but that's probably about it.
