Well …Well… Well, I see the braggadocios owner of the board has given us all of his vast experience as to how he breaks hammers. Bawh ha ha waaaa; indeed the picture of the hammer in my sig is of a very inexpensive hammer , again a tribute to the jail bird. This is what the second time since you started this board? I can also see you are lacking in experience as you have listed the ones you have.
Now then, it is clear he has never driven a faster large enough to present a problem to even the best of hammers. Try driving some 60d’s through some old growth Fir some time as in some over 100 YO beams that were cut from the Virgin Forest of the North West and tell me that you have never knocked the head right off of a hammer. I can assure you it is a knuckle buster and a half as the head of the hammer rest against the head of the spike and the handle travels on past, especially on a 16/12 pitch while standing on a 2X10 plank and this is well before anyone ever got the idea to tie off to the roof somewhere.
As for pre drilling well that was done on the planking that was being nailed down so as not to split it, but the beams were not and I was just a nailer putting it down just as fast as I could, just as I was told to do.
And if I defiled your wall well too bad at least some one wanted to get some action for your board.
I do this all the time
