What;s the learning curve on one of these? is it easy to mess up the wood, or set yourself back by messing up the settings? Or are they somewhat idiot proof (versus a hammer?)

How long many charges will the battery packs last for? Are replacement batteries expensive or difficult to find? I think these would be great for an upcoming basement finishing project!

They also beat dragging air hoses through the attic or crawl spaces when you need to work in those areas. I'll go along with apotheosis and wish they had a cordless roofing nailer with this set also.

I had an occasion to use a pneumatic nailer (with hose) and, well, it wasn't pretty. Besides that, hauling that nailer around with the hose just annoyed me. Sure it wasn't too heavy, but it was like having a really long, not too flexible cord to deal with. This, though? Ooh, that would have been nice. I'd take a bit more weight for better maneuverability. You know, I’ve always wanted to try one of these. I had an occasion to use a pneumatic nailer (with hose) and, well, it wasn’t pretty.
