I agree that the battery was unlucky/silly, but without intending insult I think the nail business is stupidity. That said, I'm sure valuable safety lessons were learned here, were they not?

Here's hoping you're a little more careful with the nail gun in future.


Funny really, just last week I was helping by brother in-law unpack some crates of funiture and noticed he was wearing thongs (hot day). I warned him that they wouldn't protect him from nails or dropped furniture, but he ignored the warning. He later stood on a rather rusty looking nail sticky out of the crates remains and promptly borrowed his brothers saftey boots.

Only through my own experience have I learned the same sorts of lessons, I hope you take the lesson seriously or you might loose something next time.
