Roofers use nail guns often in their work; almost as often as they use staple guns. The nails that are loaded into the nail gun for roofing purposes are, of course, special roofing nails. They actually come in strips to be loaded into the nail gun; they are not individually separable by any means other than the nail gun’s action. Roofers get special training with the nail gun to avoid injury. Nail guns can be dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing or if you try to deactivate the safety features. Many inexperienced people will end up with nails in their hands, legs, or feet because they hit the wrong button or accidentally turn off a safety switch. Roofers, on the other hand, know what they’re doing. They have to be especially careful when working on roofs. In addition to the danger of falling off the roof, if a roofer is injured by their tools, it takes awhile to get them medical attention, as they must be taken off the roof first.
