Authorities are still looking into the case as the co-worker remains under police custody.

A nail gun is an important tool in construction because it helps workers do their jobs faster and more efficiently.

Instead of hammering nails one by one, a nail gun can drive nails quickly into wood, concrete, or other materials with just a press of a trigger.

This saves time and energy, especially when working on large projects like building houses, installing floors, or putting up walls.

Nail guns also help improve accuracy and reduce the physical strain on workers.

However, they must be handled carefully because they are powerful and can cause serious injuries if used improperly.

Proper training and safety rules are important when using nail guns on construction sites.
