Nailgun injuries soar among U.S. weekend warriors | Oddly Enough | Reuters.com
Just a big old FYI to the DIY-ers out there (*cough* Mark *cough*), be careful and get educated on your shiny new nailgun before you start nailing things to other things that shouldn’t be nailed!
Take a nation of do-it-yourselfers, add a ready supply of cheap nailguns and what do you get? About 37,000 nailgun injuries a year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Since 1991, nailgun injuries have risen about 200 percent, the CDC said in its weekly report on death and disease.
