Editor Dan Morrison illustrates why drywall nails are not used in residential construction anymore: framers
This is a fun game we used to play on framing jobsites, usually during the siding phase while the drywall contractors were working inside. We did not feel too bad about creating extra work for the drywallers because they did not feel bad about creating (disgusting) work for us. Don't ask about what that, just focus on your drywall nail dart game.
Hint: It is all in the twist.
