Summary

COI synopsis: On building sites they no longer bang nails in, they fire them in with a nail gun. But for those who want a taste of the Wild-West when they have their finger on the trigger this gun is the ultimate frustration, because it will only fire when the muzzle is pushed hard against a solid surface.
