What happens here

After dismissing screws, the narrator explicitly states that using 'nails with the strap shot' (referring to the nail gun) is easy. He then positions the Bostitch pneumatic nail gun against a metal joist hanger, aligning it with the pre-drilled holes. He rapidly fires multiple nails into the wood through these holes, quickly and securely attaching the rafter to the ledger board. He proudly declares the connection 'in, good to go,' showcasing the efficiency of using the correct tool (a nail gun) for the job (driving nails). The video concludes with close-up shots of the secured joist hangers.

Goal: The narrator effectively uses the pneumatic nail gun to quickly and securely drive nails through the pre-drilled holes of the joist hangers, fastening the rafter to the ledger board.
