Title: When a hammer won't do.
Product review: The Senco palm nailer provides the ideal solution in situations where a regular old hammer comes up short. I first purchased this nailer when a remodeling project required 8d nails be driven under an existing roof line that provided less than 7 inches of vertical clearance. Clearly not a hammer job. I've driven 8d - 16d nails with roughly equal success, although the smaller nails will occassionally bend if the drive angle is not consistantly maintained. If you can't tolorate an occassional bent nail, I've found using stick nails (purchased for my Porter Cable F350 nail gun) solves the problem. Although I originally pruchased the palm nailer for use in difficult-to-reach locations, I've grown to using it more in situations where convential tools would also work. It's light-weight (unlike conventional nail guns), drives a 16d nail in less than 2 seconds, and, at the end of a remodeling day, doesn't send me home with a sore wrist and arm. All in all, a very good investment.
