You will have guys chiming in that they swing through the rafters like Tarzan and pull all the home runs at the same time.. :rolleyes:

I have had a few inspectors give me a hard time about more than two cables in a hole. I would be really pissed if they ever made me change it after a rough inspection...
You forgot to mention oiling up the "palm nailer" :rolleyes::laughing:

Some of us went hi-tech.. I mean nailing boxes on the side of green 2X4's is really rough on the body.. :whistling2::laughing:
 
oh man...we have two new homes to do this summer and I am going to put my guy through resi boot camp...He absolutly sucks at nailing up boxes straight. Im not sure what his problem is.. he has really really bad aim, and they boxes look like shi t . Nice kid but cant hit the side of a barn with a hammer if it hit him in the face. Maybe thats not a bad Idea....?
If he can't get hand-eye coordination nailing up boxes straight. he will be lost completely using a power tool trying to do the same thing..

Maybe he is holding the box wrong to begin with..
 
Kirk.. the problem with him using a palm nailer.. IMO.. is he will never "get" using a hammer..

There are times when I use the claw of the hammer to drive in box nails in tight spaces..

Practice.. practice.. :thumbsup:
