I have the cheap (hit it with a hammer) Remington rifle-cartridge-powered nail gun. Works fine. Used it to nail treated 2x4s to the garage slab to partition the building into garage and shop. Follow

I, too, have had reasonably good experience with these. Use some ear protection, they are loud, especially if you are working in an enclosed space like a basement. They sell different charges with di

The guys who built my garage drilled holes and drove in things that looked like studs/threaded rod with a little expansion deal on one end. When they tightened the nut on the topside of the 2x4, it e
