I have been going to buy one for years. I can still use a hammer on spikes if I have the room and don't try to drive very many at one time. Fawteen was on a while back telling how he liked the one he bought. That put the bug back in my desire for one. Soon after I bought a Ridged palm nailer and it has been laying out in the shed without its own place along with a bunch of stuff that has never put back in its proper place. I needed to nail in a scab stud to be ale to nail inside sheeting in a corner of the shed. Not real room to swing a hammer. I decided to clean out the corner and get it ready. Put the stud in place and drove a few spikes slicker than snot on a door knob. Now I need an air compressor with a gas engine to pole barn spike my fence corner posts. Why does a person wait until its almost time to die before making life easier?
