Nail guns are used every day on many construction jobs. They boost productivity
but also cause tens of thousands of serious injuries each year. Nail gun
injuries are common - one study found that 2 out of 5 residential carpenter
apprentices experienced a nail gun injury over a four-year period. Injuries
resulting from use of nail guns hospitalize more construction workers than any
other tool-related injury. When they do occur, these injuries are often not
reported or given proper medical treatment. Research has identified that the
risk of a nail gun injury is twice as high when using a multi-shot contact
trigger as when using a single-shot sequential trigger nailer.
