Have been using a paslode gas gun and pin gun for 18 years Bruno. Probably put 9000 nails through the framing gun a year, but even the recoil off that causes pain. I have seen decks nailed off with a nail gun but it looks terrible and I won't do it, even if it means missing out on the job. I am not a framer, build houses from start to finish so you still use a hammer a lot straightening frames etc. Have ordered a hart 21 oz hickory handle, gonna take at least a month to arrive, so in the meantime will take a concrete pill and harden up.....
