split prevention
for hand nailing ....you turn the nail over and hold it against a solid surface
and bang the point flat. then the nail is pushed pushed as you hit it
instead of acting like a wood splitting maul.
with air...
there's exterior stainless small packs of t-head siding staples sold at home depot now.
2- 2 1/2 inches and it'll sink the head a bit depending on how much air pressure is set on the compressor.
