Oh, Cordless.... Or in case he meant cordless, perhaps he has never
built a fence with a cordless, or been up inside an attic doing repairs,
or....
Hmmm...if I missed it how'd I call attention to it...?
All I know is that all of my air nailers are "codless", and will remain that
way...

That's a hoot! They're not going to fix the gun, they're just going to give
you a sticker, but don't use that nail gun until it gets a sticker on it!
The sticker reads:
Warning! Do not turn your back on Porter-Cable Nail Gun. Porter-Cable Nail
Gun should not be used by individuals susceptible to punture wounds. Do not
taunt Porter-Cable Nail Gun.
