clarify incorrect evaluation rh vs .ww

I have both pistols. Ww is a welded wire in assortments, a very rarely available nail due to certain building codes not meeting seismic criteria.

Pros
  • nailer

Depth can be quickly adjusted to secure wood when attaching parts or temporarily belaying. The nose has sharp prongs that make
