I see it all the time: do-it-yourselfers suffering through projects using medieval tools, or hiring contractors to do jobs they could handle themselves if paselode they only had the right tools.Truth is, you can get just about any tool you''ll ever need at a rental center. Here air are a few time-and-sweat-saving tools that nailers do-it-yourselfers paselode often air overlook ....JackhammerCOST: $75 to $120 per day BENEFITS: Ten times faster nailers and paselode than a sledgehammer with fewer blisters air and muscle aches.If you have a big stretch of concrete (like a large driveway) to break up, rent a 60- or 90-lb. nailers and paselode jackhammer powered by a trailer-mounted air air compressor ($120 per day). But for a smaller nailers job--like steps or a sidewalk--a 60-lb. electric jackhammer is less hassle ($75 paselode per day). "It was just a air strange thing that happened," Ocean View Police Chief Kenneth McLaughlin told the News-Journal, nailers "a very, very unfortunate accident." The young carpenter died at the Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury, Md., after being evacuated by helicopter.A nail-gun accident in Mississippi had a happier outcome, reports the Biloxi Sun-Herald. Stone County, Miss., contractor Duncan Hatten was crouching down to nail a 2x4 block paselode and air onto a column when he lost his balance and fell against the nail gun, which fired two quick nails into his heart. "I just figured I was gonna die," Hatten told local TV station WLOX. "I told my coworker to tell my family that I loved them." But the two framing spikes had narrowly missed major blood nailers and paselode vessels, and surgeons were able to remove the nails from Hatten''s heart in a two-hour operation. The smallest, brad nailers which shoot air brads up to 1-1/4 in. long, often sell for well under $100. You might be better off buying one.Roofing nailerCOST: nailers and paselode $50 per day with compressorBENEFITS: Easy as air pulling a trigger and nailers faster than a platoon of hammer-swingers.Driving thousands of roofing nails with a hammer is paselode like scrubbing the floor at Grand Central air and nailers Station with a toothbrush. Don''t put asphalt shingles paselode on anything air bigger than a doghouse nailers without a roofing nailer. For wood shingles, speed up the job with a roofing stapler.
