How much more effort does it take a gun to shoot a 2-3/8" nail compared to a 2" nail? __________________ Joe Carola

Ron It's a brainf**t thing with me. Always has been. I get it into my head that an 8d nail is eight 1/4s which is 2" but of course it isn't. So much for experience. Not to worry, I'll get you back when you least expect it!
