whack wow, this is so easy whack I’m really good at this whack

[–] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I built a chicken fence this way.

Hammer staplers are glorious but fucking difficult to get right!

Whack whack whack whack fuck!!!!!!! Hit the fucking wire whack whack whack whack goddamnit whack whack whack

To be entirely fair though I fucking love my hammer stapler and my complaints are entirely user error because hammer staplers are fucking amazing. So much better than hand-grip-activated staple guns.

I’ve used tack nailers as well and they also rock the socks off. Any pneumatic or mecnical driven device, oh boy fun!

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 4 points 1 week ago

I have one of the Powershot hand staple guns where the handle actuates at the front, so you're pushing down where the staple comes out instead of at the opposite end and it's the best damn stapler ever.

I don't know why it's not a more common thing.

This is why my couch broke after less than 6 months. There were, like, a hundred staples definitely not in the right place.

Put it this way.. mine also broke, within 6 mths of buying it, snapped a support bar on the bottom, and whenever anyone complains about shoddy furniture, it’s almost certain to be ashley.

I’d never get another piece of furniture from them. Terrible build and material quality.

High precision, low accuracy. The stormtrooper way.

The inspector allows a certain amount of misses

I have much worse in one spot (that I can see) in my garage. No telling how bad it gets inside the walls. About halfway down from the top the staples appear and veer off in a curve to the bottom at which point they're a good five inches off the target. It's pretty funny.

Also, just so everyone knows, those staples hold extremely well. They have an adhesive on them. They hold better than nails.

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

But do they allow all the misses for one whole structure to be on one fucking board?

[–] tyler@programming.dev 4 points 1 week ago

Nails have adhesive as well.

[–] BeelzebubEiNukuKoskaan@piefed.social 7 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Uh.. Shouldn't you be using a 2*4 at a minimum, and not just a plank of wood?

[–] kn33@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

That is a 2x4, it's just that the edge is fucked.

[–] BeelzebubEiNukuKoskaan@piefed.social 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I guess the perspective is messing with my eyes and brain. The one to the right looks like a 2*4, the one in the middle doesnt. Maybe I need to go get my eyes checked.

Or brain.

[–] Eq0@literature.cafe 2 points 1 week ago

I agree that the middle one looks thinner

[–] Karmanopoly@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)
[–] kn33@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oooh yeah. Edge is still fucked, though

[–] turtlesareneat@piefed.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Even better than an orange logo for telling you it came from Home Depot

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

.5”-2” x 4”

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What the fuck is a 2x4, and why is it only 1.5" x 3.5" ?

[–] erusuoyera@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's a piece of wood that measures 45mm x 95mm.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 week ago

Some of might expect it to measure 50.8mm x 101.6mm. But I suppose that's unreasonable

[–] human@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 week ago

Those are just for defense

[–] piconaut@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

DR Horton has entered the chat.

I don't know. That's a lot of nails for a DR Horton house. There should be like 4 for the entire wall.

never hire a contractor that refuses to use a hammer

[–] SpacePanda@mander.xyz 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Isnt the bolt in the footer supposed to have a washer?

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

And, a nut too, would be good.

Looks like new construction and they just haven't gotten around to putting the nuts and washers on yet. Houses get inspected for this and many other things before the drywall goes up.
