Much quicker than hand hammering

UDL 30 Plastic Underlay requires flat head nails. I know most people wear braces, but they get blown away by the wind. I discovered this the hard way.

Pros
  • Tool-free inch depth adjustment for quick and convenient setting of nails to desired depth
Cons

Pros
  • Adjustable tool-free hood conveniently directs exhaust gases away from the user
Cons

Use spiral nails welded with wire, which are far superior to plastic nails. Yes, this gun costs $300, but if you're climbing ladders/scaffolding to drive nails, you'll
