Hammer vs Palm Nailer

My mother gave me a gift certificate for Home Depot for my birthday last year. I took it and bought a palm nailer to help in building our deck. I made this video to show the difference in the two. First, is the speed of the nailer and second is the space needed to pound a nail with the hammer versus the nailer. In between joists on the deck is a small space and the nailer makes the job 1000% easier.

Good call. He does have some, they were just too big and he takes them off all the time.

Hmm, well, these are good for close quarters but use them for a while and you can't feel your hand. OH, and I am sure there are vids around on hammering technique... You can drive a nail much faster than you did there. Nice vid for your mom though.

@jude109 They will work for toe nailing, but they would be a little more slow than using a framing nailer.
