I can't fully answer your question but I saw a video and they shot a 1" nail through a piece of 3/4" red oak.Steve what are they capable of penetrating?
I mostly use brad nails to hold wood in place while waiting for glue to dry or to put screws in. Very seldom do I use them and nothing else.Should have known they will continue finding ways to make EVERYTHING out of plastic. And you know they will charge just as much, if not more and the profit margin will be huge! And everyone says they want to go green out there? HA! lol
That one link says doors, windows, cabinets, boat making...but I wouldn't trust it. You shift something too hard, I would think they would give way and break??
