Who owns who??- Tool wise

I have a KING Canada framing gun, up to 3 1/4 , strip nails . It was dirt cheap and makes framing up anything faster . Probably made in the same factory as Campbell Hausfeld and Canadian tire stuff .
Just be sure to get one that has available nails local to you , not some unique format. Find a buddy and share nails .
The battery ones and gas powered are nice but somebody else would need to pay for it. I’m not in the trades .

As an add on , make sure for the first few weeks you use it , never have your hand anywhere within the length of the nail when framing . Years ago when I sold Stanley Bostich air nailers , almost every customer shot a finger or nailed a shoe in the first two weeks .

My friends daughter was 8 and sitting cross-legged on the floor watching her uncle use a finishing nailer. He set it down on the floor and it went off. They looked around for a nail and found nothing until they spotted a tiny red dot on her knee. Told her not to move and of course she did the opposite and felt it as soon as she moved her leg. No lasting damage to a finishing nail pulled out of her knee joint by the docs.
Range safety rules apply to nailers also in my house.
 
There are about a thousand x rays floating around on the web where construction buddy on a scaffold has his hand on the trigger and shoots his coworker in the arm/ neck/ shoulder / head while reaching up/ down/ over .

Range safety indeed

We had air nailers for shingling when I spent a summer shedding. Coworker had a pic on his phone of a roofing nail sticking out of his knee cap.

None of my air nailers will fire unless the safety is up against something solid.

So far put up a lot of nails and haven’t had anything come near my fingers.

🤞

Hang out with "professional" carpenters more. Almost all use the bump trigger or if you really want dodgy they change the operation of the nose safety to make it easier and faster to fire.
 
Ages ago high velosity Ramsets were the thing. The boss took one from the shop to nail something to what he thought was a block wall. It wasn't block. After a few nails disappeared he went back to the shop and found everyone hiding behing the lathes and milling machines.

Easy to do holding the 2x4 you are nailing just has to hit something and deflect out the side.

Shingling with an air nailer we held the trigger pinned and used the "safety" as the trigger. Doing this it's easy to eff up. Sometimes I'd hold the safety in and fire roofing nails into the distance. Big roofing nails you can easily see and watch them sail into the distance.
