Do framing carpenters ever use a hammer anymore?
I helped one of my friends build a house a couple of years ago and we only used hammers to nail the wood. But framers use nailguns for everything now. I notice they carry a hammer in their pouch. Why? Is there ever a situation where they actually nail with a hammer? I personally would have prefered to use a nailgun cause hammers are ancient.

To nail in tight spaces where a gun wont fit, to "nudge" a piece of framing to the correct spot before nailing. Sometimes the nail gun wont hit the nail all the way in. And to pull out nails.

all tools are not ancient and especially any type of hammer .... OK .. I got your opinion ... nail guns are easy to operate and much faster than driving nails with a hammer == at the end of the day your arm is not as tired with a nail gun ....
