They drive fast, no worries about shorting the cable

Those are great unless you have fat fingers. I have to use needle nose pliers to hold the nails lest I pound my fingers with the hammer. And I have seen the nails on those driven through the sides of NMS cable, especially when trying to put more than one cable under a staple.

And they are no where's near as fast as a stapler in the hands of a skilled marksman.

They work fine in most new construction with soft woods to fasten to.

I find the nails bend over easier on GB's when driving into harder woods like you may run into on older existing sites.

SBMP has very similar looking straps but the nails seem to not bend over as easily in harder woods.
