I don't need/want any warning...got that already...just want to tell EVERYONE to take care and be careful. This is my story...
I was building display shelfs with a air nailer...i had my had on the trigger so all i had to do was hit the wood and it would nail...STUPID..i set the nailer on my knee to get a better grip. Done it before, but not as quick. the nailer has a safety switch. Put a nail in my knee, between my knee joint and knee cap. it was a 3.5 in nail. it just scratched the knee cap. God was looking out for me that day, and i'm thankful. It is now healing and i'm doing good. Just want to tell ya'll to take it slow, and don't avoid safety...it's there for a reason

I don't have much experience with nail guns but all the ones i've seen have a safety on the tip. Had to push it down then pull the trigger they worked more like a repeater than a semi-auto.

I was on a job the other day where an electrical foreman had one ,company supplied,and he was scaring me.One thing when a skilled carpenter has one but an electrician only occasionaly blasting up a piece of stud.MMmm seems like a job for the old hammer.Seems like an accident waiting to happen.For Hilti shot guns you need a license.This is not an electricians tool.Oh well progress I guess.

Ouch, indeed. I think I've mentioned this before, the job I had before present I was the foreman in the wall department of a prefab housing plant. One of my duties was filling out accident reports and taking the guys to the ER. "Puncture wound to left hand." Prolly averaged one a month. Once a fella got one in his jowl, the man across the table skipped one over at him. Don't remember a knee, though. Take care of it.

OUCH! Glad to hear that all is gonna be ok though. We all have near misses. When reading your story, I thought have done that myself, and been lucky. Thanks for the reminder, and sorry you learned the hard way. I always tell folks to learn from my mistakes so they don't make the same. This time, I learned from my own mistake, through you though. Glad you're gonna be ok.

I've had hair trigger nail guns buck and double shoot. I should know better too.

worked in a rubber manufaturing plant when I was young. They had air operated shears where the ladys cut up the raw rubber. two handles to operate so there was no way you could have your fingers in the way when the knife came down. Guess what? they girls always used a tarp strap on one lever so the could keep the work moving faster. And many of them were short fingers too. I know a man that was using a nailer like yours on a roof. He taped the trigger down and just like you he let the gun rest on his knee. OOps. Hope you get better soon Jon.
