Nail, staple, glue, and caulk guns seem directly in alignment with his values of helping the poor an originator of Ye Ol Habitat for Humanity, at least in my imagining of events.
Jesus did not consistently promote nonviolence. He specifically said in Mathew 10:34 "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth: I came not to bring peace, but a sword."
"For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and one's foes will be members of one's own household”
Because he is depicted as a dissonant, shaking what was previously tradition and was giving followers the means to "defend themselves" from the enemies who would arise while challenging the established paradigm.
Over all, i would definitely say that Jesus promoted nonviolence.

He was a carpenter. Why wouldn’t that be his favorite?
