The 'Contact actuation' mode is the highlight of Porter-Cable nail guns. This enables the machine to shoot a nail when it just comes in contact with the surface. Though this option saves the user's arm an enormous amount of strain, it has to be exercised with caution in case of a person who is unacquainted with the tool.
