I am a contractor so its very hard to get me excited over tools. \u00a0To me a saw is a saw and a drill is a drill. \u00a0I am jaded I know but every now and then something cool comes along and the kid in me gets all giddy. \u00a0One of my employees came to me the other day stressing that he had a next to impossible job of nailing a hanger (construction support device) in a tight location. \u00a0I remembered seeing these once but had a hard time finding this until I hit the shelf at Home Depot. \u00a0There is a gadget called a Palm Nailer sold next to the air compressors and\u00a0nail guns in Home Depot. \u00a0Its made by home depots own house brand RIGID and it is only $69.<\/p>\n

The nailer fits in the palm of your hand and drives the nail in place with repeated pulses of air with a “tapping” system similar to a jack hammer. \u00a0Its only 5-1\/2″ deep and seems to be built very well. \u00a0The nose of the nailer has a magnetic charge so it holds the nail in place until you are ready to drive it in. \u00a0Its very fast and the nails penetrate like butter. \u00a0For that tough spot, nails large or small…this is your tool. \u00a0 You will need to own or purchase an air compressor and hose if you don’t already have one but if you are a contractor or fabricator that already has these you will only need to invest the $69.<\/p>\n
