Cooler pneumatic power tool: jackhammer or nail gun?

[da_chimperor]

Jackhammers are pretty cool, seeing as you look all tough and manly operating one. I've played a lot of Quake, however (some of you will know what this is/means) and I've seen nail guns that shoot like 3 inch framing nails. You could have some fun with those after a few minor modifications. :evilgrin:

So, which is it?

4. What could be more manly than breaking up something hard

with a big, roughly phallus-shaped power tool? Nothing!

5. Plus you have to rent a large

gas powered compressor to run it!!

6. You can't get any more manly than that

3. Give me a stimpack, a box of nine inch nails and my nailgun

8. I've used both

A nailgun is much more fun. Jackhammer is just plain hard work and a day of it leaves your entire body aching.

9. nail gun

10. have to go with jackhammer!

The hand held ones make me feel like I can be a sculptor of great reknown... nail guns just make me feel like a potentially schizoid carpenter.
