Had occasion to buy one today. Nailing up new joist hangers under a deck over a walk-out basement. 2x10 joists on 12" centers under a hot tub. No access for a hammer, and I can't see s**t with my bifocals working over my head either.
Face nailing the hangers to the header not bad, but toenailing through the joist just wasn't happening with a hammer. Got a cheapo Ridgid palm nailer at Deep Homo and [i:654c4848f0]voila![/i:654c4848f0], problem solved. Start the nail in the slot, tap it once with a hammer to hold it in place, set the nose of the palm nailer over it, press down and BRAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPP!, done!
Yet another tool to add to the "Why didn't I buy one of those 20 years ago" list.
