Re: can lights

I don't use a hammer either, that what the Kleins are for. It's kinda hard to carry my cordless around in my back pocket

Re: can lights

When I was roughing in I had a couple of furring sticks on the truck.A 1x2 cut at 44 in and a 1x4 cut at 14 in.A couple of drywall screws and heights were constant.Except one builder that speced switches at 36 to top and receps 10 in to top and all receps in a kitchen horizontal at 42 center what a pain

Re: can lights

Useing a hammer on rough in what an interseting concept. thuoght a hammer was used to find boxes buried in drywall.(just kidding)

90% framing done with metal studs nothing to nail to. have to screw everything. nails on light fixures useless and get in the way and have to be removed.

have to watch framers constantly or end up reframing for light fixtures

They make recessed cans with screws installed in the bar hangers instead of nails. If you work in an area that uses mostly metal studs, I would think suppliers in your area would carry them.

Re: can lights

yea you would think so

have the same problem with nail plates. order nail plates for metal suds get nail plates for wood studs.

suppliers reply is just cut them off
