What about board width differences? You’re supposed to get the joists on before the hangers so the tops all line up flat.

As Neil Mason wrote on 8/7/17, "This jig will only work if the hangers are flush with the bottom of the header." Not helpful when hanging a joist to a beam that is the next size up. It may not be useful when attaching fresh green lumber to seasoned lumber of the same nominal size because of the size differences.

Will this work for 2x10 and 2x12

Depends. If you are hanging the same size lumber, the bottom reference foot will make the tops the same. If you are hanging different dimension lumber, (2x6 joist to a 2x10 ledger wouldn’t work,but a 2x10 joist to a 2x6 ledger would

What about the inevitable variations in joist thickness?

99% of the time your joist will fit fine, and some may be snug. I have not come across a 2X material that was to fat to drop into the hanger. Thanks hope this answers your question. I have been building homes and decks for 25 years and work with lumber daily. Thanks again.

The hangers are designed to be held and set in place with one hand and the points at the top of the hanger are hammered in then shot with the gun.

In deference to your question, yes that is how it works. There is a small learning curve as to what tools to have where while you are hanging them. I have found that no two carpenters install joist hangers the same way. It does work as advertised so it does have a place in my tool box!😁
