>>2976356so im retarded?
>>2976356>intended to be driven into wood with a hammer
>>2976343That’s just what construction workers use. It’s the absolute cheapest shit that meets the minimum legal standard.I used metal straps with screws, waay better.Do likewise gents.
>>2976377you can hammer them in but you have to strike them perfectly, else the force isn't distributed evenly across the prongs and they'll bend. it's easier if you do very light taps, alternating corners, but that will obviously take ages.
>>2976377What kind of hammer are you using? A flat-faced hammer helps.
>>2976381>Practically oil free>Practically LmaooooooooooooooooooLike those diapers they say give UP TO 100% lean protection like stfu holy shit you greedy corporate fucks need to take a header off the 3rd floor balcony
>>297640716oz estwing claw hammer. im not some construction expert but the driving face is flat is it not?
>>2976464I think he meant flat vs milled/waffled.
>>2976472yeah, i dont have any waffled/milled hammers.
>>2976472>>2976508No, I mean some hammers have rounded faces to set a nail deeper but won't mar up your wood. Look at it from the side. Then have you have milled hammers which are better for nailing since they prevent the head from slipping off and bending the nail. Then there are smooth, flat-faced hammers.tl;dr, get a milled or flat-faced roofing hammer.
