Nail Guns
Perhaps you could tell me then why all my decking is lifting. Paslode nail gun used, would say I had 3 years use out of the deck before the nails started to lift out of the decking boards.

Smooth nails whether hand nailed or driven with a Paslode would twist out with the weather.
Hand driven twisted galvanized nails would have been the go or screws would have been even better.
Back in the day, I found hand driven gal nails held almost as well as Paslode nails, just took ten times longer, both were far superior to the standard bullet head nail.

Hey GSRocket
Can you explain why a gas driven nail would be better than a pneumatic driven nail.
I have done framing with the identical D head nails driven with both and see no appreciable difference. In fact i have the biggest Paslode pneumatic nail gun as it will home a 100 mm nail that the gas nailer wont handle. I admit the gas gun is easier to handle being cord and hose free. Now there are battery nail guns for finishing / bradding.
As for the nails they often have a form of heat glue on them that acts as a lubricant when the nail is fired and. Then dries holding it in place. You can get nailers for decking with ringed nails and twist gal nails.
So much better to use than the old ramset cartridge guns.

I think it is as you mentioned, the glue. Pneumatic nails just have that bit of broken off wire to hold them tight or maybe there are other nails that I've never seen.
All I know is when I've had to rip up battens, the Paslode gas gun nails make it the most difficult.
When I mean pneumatic nailer, I mean the type that have nails in a coil bound by two strings of wire. There might be much better ones these days.

People seem to forget you can not compare hammered nails to nail gun nails...
Simply because as it is so easy to put in a nail with a nail gun if you have a big gap to fill or the timber splits or whatever, you put the nail gun onto full automatic and hold the trigger down
Then pump in some no more nails...Light red, the colour of choice for the discerning man.

Whilst that engine crane is a far more attractive piece of equipement, I would forego ten of them in place of my sole cheap crap chinese crane. Not only has it been vastly useful in it's designated role, removing and replacing engines, but also without it, I would have had no way to remove some of my lucky scores off my ute, which required a reach and a height ability far, far superior to the old one.
Everything has its place, and one important skill is being able to appraise the abilities without getting caught up over looks, the era, or the construction.

Its the video that is down the page a bit - Ive attached a screenshot of it below.
