  • This is the all new SKIL - AUTO HAMMER (part number - AH6552A-10) and it is incredible. 3 position head, magnetic collet, led work light, and can drive 3.5" nails with ease. I'm mainly using this for roughing boxes for residential electrical work but this tool is so versatile I can imagine all the ways it would come in useful. this should be available for public around spring of 2022, so keep an eye out or follow my socials to get updates along the way!

    I am a homeowner with a day job who does not do anything construction related for a living. That being said I am working on framing out my basement and Bought this ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxHQsUrwNr5GQrnx9V4xDdUr56qxwuiBHt gun. I have done a few walls already, have probably shot a couple hundred nails through this thing and have yet to have a misfire. It works awesome, good depth on every nail if you have your compressor set right. My literal only complaint is that it is a bit heavy and my arm can get a little tired especially whrn I am nailing at odd angles. That being said I am super happy with it and would buy it again. Hoping the old girl allows me to get my whole basement finished out!

      Problem solved. Don't look at the hammer head or the head of the nail. Look the surface of where the nail is going in and you'll never miss. Many years.👍

    This is exactly what I was looking for. I was told that Craftsman made one, and then I ran into this video. I'm an electrician and this seems like the perfect tool for tight spaces between joists, especially with the pivoting head. For all of you saying, "this is for lazy people" and "I'll just keep using my hammer/nail gun" are missing the mark--ie every tool has its purpose. I just ordered this Skil kit for $99USD with tool, 2.0A battery and charger thru Amazon, delivery says March 6-16. Carplumbtrician kicked butt with this one, you got a new subscriber.

      @reptilionsarehere 2 місяці тому

      Is there no proper way to perhaps hold it due to limited hands? It seemed like he got it in a bit without it slipping or vibrating out of place, so maybe you can get the nail in a bit so that it doesn't move and then start holding it and let the auto hammer do the rest?
      Or maybe if you have a perceptive prediction of the nail depth, you can get the nail in enough to stay but not enough to pierce the connecting surface/board and align it and complete it. It's not that much of an inconvenience in my opinion.
      But a nail gun wouldn't need you to do any of that extra stuff, so maybe this tool would be better suited for smaller projects where you don't want to get the nail gun out.

I personally would take the nails out and use screws in the tight spots. I definitely see the value in this tool. I never knew these Auto Hammers were so fast.

    They are great for tight places and quick jobs. They do not last long using them “full time”. After a month of continuous use, it rattled itself apart. Luckily they are cheap so throw away and replace. Don’t think it will ever replace a good palm air nailer. We have used a Banks from HF for three years now. It has been a great tool. Just beat to death and it still stays loyal. I’ve made that 17 dollars back hundreds of times.

    Though I hate having tools on different platforms from the few videos I have seen on this tool, I personally like the Skil the really only competitor still on the market is the Milwaukee palm nailer though Ryobi and Craftsman did have auto hammers which sort of died out. I can see using it for what your doing and potentially be useful like the palm nailer was designed for. I do like some of the features of the Skil and price is lower but you not only get a 2amp battery I like their batteries double as a power pack. Also the red palm nailer is only one direction where I can see this having numerous uses.
    I do want to get one and try it in other ways like automotive like stuck rotors and hopefully Skil expands heads for this because it does seem like we are moving away from air tools be nice to have adaptors that could be used for different applications like a chisel head and other head like pneumatic tools had. Don't get me wrong I think as a hammer alone it's great but I try to look at other uses and think other do as well its like before they had a dedicated 1/4,3/8,1/2 impact wrenches we had/have adaptors for impact guns to accept sockets yes their not mid&high torque but for say little panel work before you carried around a sockets and ratchet than you carried the adapter and impact gun it improved work.
    I maybe dreaming a little but I could see this tool being used in many ways or hope it can

      Do you think this or the palm nailer would work on smaller finishing nails? I have arthritis in my hands/wrists and this is an interesting concept to let me do more with less pain, but I need to be able to do smaller stuff not just big framing jobs. (For home DIY type things, I’m not a professional framer.)

      @@TrappedinSLC So I haven't received this one yet(ordered) but I can say the palm nailer that Milwaukee sells from the videos looks biggerand bulkier also many mentioned how much vibration is transferred to the user one. If I remember correctly I think I saw a review comparing them and this had a better collar so it made using various nails easier. But traditionally a pneumatic palm nailer was made for framing nails in tight spots this to me just seems like a better option for me I can still swing a hammer but being paralyzed I figured neat tool to have for dyi use, but I do still own various pneumatic nail guns if I am doing a repetitive job & even though alot of companies have rechargeable nail guns I don't do as much work with them to justify the cost. Like I mentioned above I personally want to test it out on other things as well to see if I can make it work on other projects like an air chisel or air hammer

I had one of them, used it along with getting the 12V compact Drill, and a Nut Driver. I'd have to say the tool line was pretty good over all.

The whole Craftsman Nextec line was great, and they just phased them out at some point.
