Basically, no stapler-fights in the shop. (I've heard this called "the paintball of the scene shop").

Ok, that's one of the dumber things I've heard of techs doing. What ever happened to just a good old fashioned tape ball fight?

Although I have to admit one time when I was about 14 a friend and I had an interesting game. We had one of those really low power single pump spring powered BB guns and a plastic gallon jug. So we took turns, one person got to be the attacker with a jug filled with water while the other defended himself with the gun. The rule was you had to shoot below the waist and no shooting THERE. We both ended up soaked with a few small welts. Don't Try it at home kids.

Anyway, good to hear your positive Bostitch review. Anybody have a problem with Bostitch? It looks like it might cost 5%-10% more than the Porter Cables at Lowes... but again there's no "Ryobi Risk"
