One of the handiest nailers a person can get is a palm nailer...You can drive a single real 12D or 16D galvanized common nail, in about three seconds, and it will fit into places where a standard nailer will never go....Also, I do believe that they make an inset attachment, for finish nails...In all honesty, for the hobbyest, this is an outstanding tool, and will only require a small compressor to run it.

ETA: most of the time, you will have to add one finishing blow, with a hammer

I have a compressor, so that sounds really like a useful tool, especially since my arm is sort of weak right now.

I normally love working on a project so this one has really been pretty depressing. Normally I have a lot of fun and learn a lot.

My friend who is a Kiwi (New Zealander) just said, 'Palm nayluh, yeeah, git one'.

Looks like you can pick up a new one, from about $70 -$120...Senco is a good name...Check the pawn shops, first..There's very little to them,so there's not much to wear out. Just make sure that they can prove it works ok.

I have one of those.... never used it

but had to have it....

If you have a princess auto there (not sure if they are in the states..) I got it for about 20.00 and they are guaranteed forever... while I generally buy name brand I couldn't resist!
