   I noticed a 14 ga. finish nail with its own gun.

   Is this a door hanging nail??

   someone should make a finish nailer that soots fatter nails for hanging door jambs.

   3" at least.

   Spotnails used to make a driver that would shoot framing nails as well as casing nails with substantial heads on them.

   Are they still around?

   anyone ever use one?

   google here I come!!!

   I usta nail in the house to garage door with 2 1/2" trim nails thru the brick mould...one day, I come in & the garage door is laying on the floor...big winds last night...whoops...I changed to a bunch of screws thru the jambs (discretely hidden under the weatherstripping)...the painter loves me even more<G>...& no more doors on the floor! Don't worry, we can fix that later!
