Another option is to push the nail through a thin piece of cardboard to hold it in position. Start driving in the nail then pull the cardboard away before the nail is fully hammered in.

I've been in the skil 12v line for like 4 years and I have been blown away by the performance of every tool I own. The impact will break loose the lugs on my truck no sweat. I also have the oscillating tool and the drill driver and they are both tough as nails. I dropped the drill 12 feet onto concrete twice within about 2 min and it never blinked. I also left it out in a fairly solid rain overnight and I blew it out with my air compressor and it still runs like new.

[@jafinch78]

I got two as backup portable air hammers to loosen up and persuade a little less aggressively. Along with the ball peen hammers to shock bolts and the surrounding areas like with captive nut, I do think helps with penetrants getting into tighter spaces and loosening. Removing stubborn pulleys as well.

[@Namington]

Great demonstration of the right-angle functionality that a casual user is likely to experience. Very informative video.

[@MattHmm-rq6dn]

Main points 👉 use a 4ah battery makes it way more powerful also straight mode really ups the power as well. The way it was used is its absolute weakest. I use mine for cut nails in historic houses and the smaller ones fit in there 2.5in or less. I also ground down a air hammer attachment to fit in and it's now a light duty air hammer or planishing hammer. The big thing I use this for (it's better than the m12 palm nailer) joist hanger nails (ticos). Some inspectors refuse to let us use Simpson screws even though there rated for structural things like that. When they do it I'm forced to pound thousands of short nails and I'm almost all battery power so I don't want a positive placement gun that's gas or air. After you throw on a 4ah battery and try it straight do a update video? You'll see it in a new light. It an also punch out rivets as well 👍 I would love to see that update video thanks agian.

The sad thing is a 4ah battery is in the top drawer of the red tool box directly behind me....🤡. Your going to get your video wish, I ordered the M12 palm nailer and well revisit this one for sure. Thanks for watching!

The m12 palm nailer us much bigger than air equivalent and I feel is more aquard. Feel free to get it but I returned the 3 for the crew and bought more of these.

[@TheXanthoman]

I was a general contractor for about 10 years , and although its not something i would have used a lot , there were often times when i needed to nail something where there was no room to swing a hammer or fit a screw gun so the only options were to use a right angle screw gun which were relatively uncommon before the advent of cordless tools or use a palm nailer which involved a compressor and hose which was a definite inconvenience when you only had to drive 4 or 5 nails , would have been well worth $45 to me but cordless tools hadnt really come into their own in those days ( mid 90's )

This is a must have when putting cedar shingles and trim boards on when the eve boards is already on and under a foot away, hammers require a great deal swinging room to get anything done, and nail guns are to big, this auto hammer is great for tight spaces.

Big Mike, my secret construction/woodworking tool addiction is a hammer. Love me the old school wooden handled 20oz. USA model, I've been using for years. I had a pneumatic palm nailer for a while because it was the hottest thing on the market. What a pain in the neck that thing was. Didn't last long in my tool kit. Skil is doing a nice job trying to grab market share. My wife might like something like that to hang pictures, or disciplining the grandkids. Used a ton of those staples on chicken wire in the coop. Great job!

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

There's a few retirement age carpenters on KZbin that effortlessly use a hammer for framing and Ive always been impressed with that skill. Unfortunately the contractor I worked for was not a fan and I never really became a real professional with a hammer. Light framing and decks we used screws. Whole room framing we got out the guns and I'm pretty fast with my Paslode. The little auto hammer is pretty entertaining to use and I'm sure I'll find some uses for it. If only to annoy friends and family. Thanks for watching Meat!

[@themeat5053]

@@ProjectsForAllReviews I get you. Here we use nails for both framing and decks because we worry about the sheer vs. grip strength. The decks would be lagged into the rim and then the rest of the framing was nailed. Of course, the decking could be screwed onto the joists (or nailed if we were in a hurry). Anyway, love your stuff.

This and palm nailers are very convenient for tight spaces where you can't swing a hammer or fit a nail gun. If you ever have to build a deck or install a lot of brackets (such as Simpson Strong Ties) then a tool like this is gonna be used a lot. For the average home owner, I'd say it's not worth it at $100 since they might not use it as often. But if it goes on sale for $45 it is an absolute buy at that price for anybody.

[@krazmokramer]

Nice video. That product is a solution for a problem that rarely exists. Real men swing hammers!!😄

[@d.aardent9382]

I didnt know they made this. I do repairs and restoration on clocks and other furniture and wood objects, cases,etc i run into replacing hardwood panels and tiny pieces and use very small fine nails at times, i usually have to predrill a small hole into hardwood to be able to drive the flimsy little wire nails into it without them bending up, maybe with this i could drive them very quickly with the fast repeating strikes and i wouldn't need to pilot hole then use a nail guide and even with a narrow tack hammer it's difficult to get in close as the placement is just restricted by other cabinet wood parts. Interesting. For me it might be worth getting as i tend to use a lot of smaller nails more often.

[@SiskinOnUTube]

We always straightened the fence staples so they're parallel. It just works nicer. I can't see that doing it.

Thanks for doing the review Mike. I got mine on the same deal as you and free shipping from the USA to New Zealand. I love Amazon... I've used it for installing a few electrical boxes in tight areas between studs and some cable clamps I had to nail up under deck joists. I also had a play just nailing in normal places but prefer a regular hammer due to the nails being wiggly in the auto hammer collet. My only gripe is that only the collet is magnetised. I would have liked to see the actual hammer magnatised as well if it's possible. Other than that I really like it and it does what I wanted it to do.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Im still amazed Amazon with ship from the US to New Zealand for free! I definitely don't see myself using this when a normal hammer or screw gun could be used. That said I can see it getting me out a jam occasionally or for electrical which well be doing a lot of here on the new shop. Thanks for watching!

[@JeffRL1956]

Instead of trying to drive the nail straight in when it's wobbling all over the place, use a pair of pliers or even a thin piece of card with a hole in it to support the nail in a vertical position. Then the autohammer will be much more effective and easier to use.

[@yupsir791]

I like how the anvil covers the whole inside diameter. I just tried it on a cable staple with two nails and it gets jammed on the side. I bought a battery powered palm nailer from Milwaukee to repipe my house. When I am on my stomach trying not to fall thought the drywall this works great to secure the pex to the 2x4's.

I am thinking for the tools you don’t need as much power (multi-tool, hand-held small recip saw, etc.) for getting DeWalt 12v tools - But I have to say the SKIL 12v line looks amazing and for less $$. The fact that you got this for $45 and a battery and a charger is great. There is no way you could get a DeWalt 12v tool kit for that price.

Because of the principles it works on trying to nail several pieces of wood together without them clamped tight the top board is going to absorb all the vibration and not drive the nail.

Nice video and presentation. I have the first generation now looking at this most recent model can’t help but asking this question. We all know how large a nail head is so why do the receptacle of these hammers so large? Not a fraction larger but 2x larger. Is that necessary? This is why I never bought a second one.

Using it straight vs angled seems to be a little stronger might want to see if you get the same results

We're definitely going to do another vid with this one and do a little more testing. Ordered Milwaukees M12 palm nailer to compare. Thanks for watching Andrew!

You should work with a Chisle? How would that work?

Grabbed one at Lowes on half price. Took it out to back porch which I plan on replacing in a couple years. Had tons of nail heads popped up and used for that. Worked great.

Can't beat that! Thanks for watching!

Great video thanks bro, this will be handy where its difficult to swing a hammer, but also limited tasks, btw that hammer ur using is two pounds, a 4 pounder has a rectangular head and bigger, just a correction bro, as a boilermaker/welder by trade for more than 45 yrs i know so just saying ✌

Mike , I appreciate you taking the hit on this but I’m a hard pass on that one. Lol as always a great tutorial video.

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

LOL! My pleasure! Was a fun vid to make at least. I'll find a use for that thing for sure. Thanks for watching Michael!

concrete form guy is going to love it.

[@johnsmith7676]

Not even.

[@Greenmachine305]

This might be useful in loosening hard to reach hydraulic fittings.

[@stevenfoust3782]

Would be good for joist hangers or place you can’t swing a hammer or run a screw.

[@dionkraft6782]

ever think of holding the short screw with a needle nose plier ?

[@ProjectsForAllReviews]

Sure but what fun would that be? Plus if I went in the box I could just get a 🔨 jk. Thanks for watching!
