5.0 out of 5 stars Palm Nailer Kit, December 23, 2002

By	Clifford (BUFFALO, Minnesota United States) - See all my reviews

Since nails must be inserted one at a time, this is not the best tool for someone with thousands of a specific type of nail to drive. However, it will serve in place of an array of nail guns for those who must drive a variety of different nails. In addition, it is safer since the nails are driven by successive blows rather than shot out of a gun.

Small finishing nails go in straight and can be driven flush with the wood surface. Countersinking is not possible since the driving blade is too big and leaves a mark, but it is a simple matter to countersink them by hand. The point of each nail is placed exactly where it is supposed to go, so accuracy is very good.

The biggest nails in my shop are serrated barn nails about 8" long, and this tool drove them through a 6x6 treated beam like shoving a knitting needle through styrofoam.

The hammer tip is good for pounding anything you would normally hit with a hammer. It drives wood through my doweling plate fast and I will probably find alot of other things to bash with it.

My compressor is small and fairly old, but this tool doesn't need much air to run. Also, the case is well designed and holds all of the considerable accessory parts firmly in place when not in use.

5.0 out of 5 stars This thing is great!, February 12, 2003

By	Bryan Fitzwater (Sunnyvale, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have always used a framing hammer to nail joist hangers and usually on every job I bang my finger once or twice while trying to hold the hanger/nail and hammer. I used this tool for the first time today and was amazed at how smooth it is. It comes with quite a few different accessories for different types of nails and it comes with an air hose connection. I had to nail one hanger with only 5 1/2" between the hanger and the adjacent wall and the palm nailer handled this easily. I was expecting this tool to be rough on the hands but was surprised at it's smoothness and tons of power. This is a tool I wish I had bought years ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ease of use with prior elbow injury, October 2, 2002

By	V. Steel "short carpenter" (Amityville, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am in the midst of building a deck. I and my partner have used this palm nailer from day one of construction. It is easy to use, very controllable.
Without this palm nailer I would have blown my elbow out with a conventional hammer and nails. Each joist hanger took 6 nails
Two hangers per joist=12 nails. 28 joists x 12= 536 + nails in hangers and all went in straight and without hesitation.
To date, this is the best purchase I have made that saves wear and tear on my elbow.
I recommended this for anyone who needs to drive an enormous amount of nails, especially through joist hangers where aim is critical through pre made holes..
