Palm Nailer

message from John Rumm on 11 May 2004
Has anyone tried one of those "palm nailers" as supplied by Axminster?
What are they like?

From the description it sounds line an air powered hammer - offer the
business end to the blunt end of a nail, and it sets about hitting it
1000 times a second until it is driven home.

I have one, does the job well enough but is a bit sore on the arms
eventually and there is a knack to not bending nails, but I guess the same
applies to a normal hammer...

Has the benefit that there are few parts to go wrong and uses normal nails
and so works out cheaper than paslode nailers etc.
