Swapped pneumatic for battery nailer on a big vinyl run

Tackled a 400 foot privacy fence outside Fort Worth and my compressor kept tripping on the same breaker. Grabbed a borrowed battery framing nailer after lunch, honestly thought it would be slower. Slugged through the last 200 feet without stopping once, and my arms felt less shot at the end. Anyone else made the switch on a big job and gone back to air for speed, or am I the only one?

Wait until you hit a hardwood deck, then talk to me.

My knees still ache from a drop on a pressure-treated deck back in 2017, so I feel this. Hardwood just has that extra layer of unforgiving, like the universe is testing your joint health for no reason. It's funny how we all end up comparing battle scars from the same dumb hobby, guess that's just part of the deal.
