As an electrician we turn our Lineman’s side wise, put the flat end of the Lineman’s on the head of the nail, hold firmly and then take regular hammer and continue to hammer the head/handle of Lineman till nail is completely seated properly.
Looks like one of those tools I’d buy for one job in particular, forget about it in my toolbox, then one day have a struggle with one nail, then I remember this thing exists and then be so thankful that I got it years ago.
I wouldn't drive a nail with anything with moving parts. Totally insane. Maybe useful pulling sometimes but carpenters carry nail pullers. Nails are driven at the necessary angle.
Crescent isn’t the only one. I’ve had my Craftsman adjustable hammer like this for years. It is awesome. It really helped out when doing my roof and in corners of the house in my attic.
The story is half B S !! That hammer was first sold as a Craftsman at Sears in 2016. It was featured in Popular Mechanics Mag. In November 2016 page 32. I bought one and love it !!
Craftsman released a hammer like this like 15yrs ago or more when they were still in Sears before they changed hands and their prices went through the roof. That being said, I keep Crescents adjustable cats paw in my pouches. If I ever manage to break it, I'm going straight to the store to buy another. For tight spots like this, I keep a 20oz Estwing with the claws cut off in my job trailer. (Was an old hammer with a broken claw.)
You say crescent... but u see a rhino horned hammer... love the application of mass and weight transference to make up for loss of space.... truly an ingenious idea... cheers
Put one of these in my road repair tool bag when that claw helped me change out a fuel pump. Getting those rings off is always a hassle on the side of the highway. This helped a bunch.
Ah yes, the hammer. Growing up in southwest Arizona my friends dad used to call hammers "Mexican speed wrenches". I still, to this day, some 60 years later, get a good laugh out of that. Just think about it.
Yup and I already have a palm nailer. not buying some transformer hammer. Though I'd also probably just turn my framer sideways and get it done like a pro not waste time like a joe.
Dig the California framer, that's what I use and it looks like it has had plenty of work. I remember when guys started cutting off the claw and welding an axe blade on, rigging axe. The nail is obviously pre screwed to make tapping it in easier. You can do this by turning your hammer head sideways or in this case when there is so little room, pin the sides of the stud, block, or cripple
I like when catch-all is used as a catch-all term. Anyway, what you do is turn the regular hammer sideways and hold it so it would look upside down in this video. Then tap like a rabbit on crack.
When I was in the trade over 40 years ago we used a tool called a pee shooter. It was a metal tube and a solid rod that fit inside the tubing. You would put the nail inside the tubing, pull the rod back some, and strike the rod with a hammer. Everyone trying to sell you stuff you don’t need.
Or if you run into an issue like this you can take a length of metal or if hard enough even wood and put that on the top of the nail and strike that near the closest you can get to the space and it will transfer the force to the nail to drive it in.
Right ive seen many framers just use a peice of metal or wood and smack it espcially after the plumbers and electricians make their mess in the indoor walls.
When I have to deal with moments like that, I grab the one of the 2 claw hammers that I melted the claws off with a torch. I attachthed intact claw hammer heads to the other end. It's not pretty, but it works for me.

Only if you only see this as a tool for new construction, I'm a trailer setter and I'm sure our shop guys would love this. When you have rot in the floor for example we only cut back the rot and replace with new joists and studs, this would probably work great for applications like that and other trades I'm sure

If you sequence your work properly, you don't ever get stuck in situations like this
Only if you only see this as a tool for new construction, I'm a trailer setter and I'm sure our shop guys would love this. When you have rot in the floor for example we only cut back the rot and replace with new joists and studs, this would probably work great for applications like that and other trades I'm sure
You do realize there's other applications besides brand new builds right?
@@hirukukun9912 interestingly enough, you can see the difference between the new board and the old boards in the video, almost as if it wasn’t new construction at all…🤷♂️
And yep, those of us DYIers do dumb things as we learn in real-time. We learn as we do the actual task after watching a few YT videos and have enough confidence to jump in. We generally learn sequencing after the first mistake... at least we’re out there doing it with as much self-sufficiency as we can conjure up. This is a great hammer for that person -like me.
What if someone else did the work and you have to fix it? Derp
Take my money. I get into situations like this maybe twice every 2-3 years and I still need that hammer
I've been using a palm nailer for that since the 80s. LOL
I’m an electrician and have had this hammer for about 4 years (different off brand though) anyways I use it for getting nail on boxes and staples in tight stud locations. Pretty sweet
Crescent makes an adjustable pry bar with the same mechanism and I love it
It's my favorite pry bar!
Was the first hammer assemble the mayflower, Good lard. from pre historic to the future. Love the new hammer, the old one belongs in a shadow box.
That's why they invited the 90° driver for screws
For those who don’t know pneumatic palm nailers are great too!
Came to comment that exact thing
This is why tools are great and making them better is always a good idea
As long as you do it right. Otherwise you become one of those life hack idiots. Lol
Another trick we use is to get a sturdy bit of wood an then hit as low on the wood as you can an the piece lower down would hammer the nail
You could find a 1x2 or similar and line it up with the nail, hit the board above the tight space.
now introducing the Angry Cockatoo by Crescent, man the marketing team really missed one hell of an opportunity with this one lol
The brackets that I buy have those nails go through the plate at a angle so you can use a normal hammer
Now that you got me thinking about it that's also a pretty small nail. Idk what he's making though.
