I am a roofing contractor, and it comes in handy for working in tight spaces under overhanging areas where a gun won’t fit, and there’s no room to swing a hatchet(roofing hammer). Also great for driving in 3.5″ spikes, anytime or place you don’t want to swing a big hammer.I will do another review after a few months of use, but as I have stuck to Milwaukee tools almost exclusively due to their lifespan of tools and batteries, I expect the same from this solid feeling tool.

Palm nailer works with the m12 freedom and flexibility without the air compressor

Heavier than expected but did better than a hammer/dragging out an air compressor

it fit for my job, not a lot nail but you don’t have a space and time

Excellent for hoist hangers on a trex deck where you have 12” joist spacing

I use it to install 3/8” Redhead Anchors. It fits perfectly and drives them in in no time. It comes in real handy when you can’t swing a hammer. It definitely saves my shoulder.

I found that the anvil inside is too small to the bore of the spring loaded part. And can someone explain to me why the hole on the spring loaded part is not centered? In one case somehow it locked on and would not shut off. I had to remove the battery. Then when I re-inserted the battery it would not work. A freshly charged 2nd battery got it going again. I’m not sure why this happened.

Recently I was partitioning a large commercial space and had to do hammer up a lot of hammer drive anchors up in the ceiling. It was a pain in the butt to swing the hammer up and maintaining balance. This little beast saved all the hassle. My fellow workers had never seen this and was surprised by this little innovation. I would recommend this if you need to do a lot of tight space hammering or uncomfortable swing of hammers, the time you saved will pay back your investment.

This palm nailer surprised the heck out of me. It has some good power to drive even 3 1/4 “ nails no problem. For being 12v it works great and beats dragging a compressor and hose. Worked great in tight spaces and battery life is good with a 4 ah. Definitely recommend it.

Great little tool for tight spaces. A little heavy but not having an air hose helps immeasurably!

This is a great tool to nail hard to reach, as well as repetative all day work. I crafted a jig to hold electrical stapes and this nailer is perfect to put stapples into #1 hard pine trusses.
