Best Tool for Tight Spaces, Palm Nailer: Toolsday
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- A fun tool I forgot all about that is the best too for tight spaces, until I made last weeks toolsday about the joist hanger gun from Fasco is the Bostitch Palm Nailer. This is not just any palm nailer, but big enough to easily drive 60D ring shanks in with easy. A Tool like this might not be needed everyday, but when you have it, and use it, you love it!
Also, did anyone even hear the Hitachi compressor running in the background? It is amazingly quiet.

I bought this nail gun as we were planning to renew all the fencing in our back garden. As this involved 19 double slatted fence panels, 10 of which needed to be cut down in size, we knew there would be a need for a great ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxHQsUrwNr5GQrnx9V4xDdUr56qxwuiBHt deal of re-stapling the wooden slats to the wooden framework. Each alteration required the re-stapling of 62 wooden slats with double staples. Prior to starting the work we ordered sufficient additional staples as per the instructions with the gun.The gun performed fantastically throughout the entire project with no jams of misfires. The adjustable power was excellent allowing the staples to be fired into the 8mm slats to the correct depth. For the price paid this was a bargain and it proved itself to be so reliable and versatile making an arduous task much quicker and professional. I cannot recommend this product highly enough and it will be used on many other projects in the future.
I read the entire Ryan’s ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 Plans and was able to make a shed plan. Using Ryan’s Shed Plans alone, the shed itself is great. Where I wish I knew more is with respect to ground preparation and foundations. Maybe that's beyond the scope of Ryan’s Shed Plans.
These tools are a game changer for truss clips! That was always my job. When I got to use a palm nailer it blew my mind!
I used a hanger nailer and had to re fill it every hurricane tie. I'd rather use a palm nailer for the whole thing
I live in California and my neighbor is under his house using a palm nailer installing earthquake brackets throughout the underside of his house. He has the mini palm. Works great!!
Palm nailer has been one of my best investments. I have actually used mine to shape sheet metal by using a carriage bolt in it.
Now that sounds like a pretty awesome trick!
I love mine. I barely ever use it and when I do it's only for a few nails here and there, but damn is it handy. Especially for those nails in tight spaces where you don't have room to swing a hammer, it's a fantastic.
Hi Kyle. I use my little palm nailer to put on joist hangers ,works great. Thanks for the great toolsday !
I'll second the hanger nails.
I did as well until I bought a hanger nailer.
@@seantap1415 Agreed. I got a Hitachi 1 1/2" metal connector nailer and it's better then the palm nailer because you don't have to fiddle with little nails like you do with the palm nailer. However, the palm nailer excels at driving the prescribed 10 and 16 penny Simpson nails for cross-nailing, etc.
@@user-zz8ln3uh5x Ya I use one to drive 7in ring shank nails when I'm building pole sheds.
I bought mine for joist hangers and hurricane roof clips.
I was remodeling my house installing hangers in the crawl space. After missing a couple nails and getting my fingers a couple times. I crawled out drove to the store and picked up this finger saving tool. Best break I ever decided to take.
So this is good for joidt hanger nails (10D), or do you have to get something different?
timothy callahan it works good on any nail with a head. Meaning you wouldn’t want to use it with trim or finish head nails.
I don't know how long those have been around but I bought one over 30 years ago for the cabinet shop. We used it to apply plastic t mould to shelf edges in 8ft . pcs. It had different types of heads, hard and soft plastic ones, steel for nails like yours , rubber heads and had a little regulator to control the power of the strike. Back then as far as I knew only one company made them but now see many do. They are handy for certain things though, for sure.
Lol I get these on Wednesday’s.
Nifty little thing. I can totally see how helpful this can be in tighter situations, even going from a medium swing to a bigger swing showed how much space you need to hammer something down rather than using the handheld device. 👍
Great vid
Located over seas I assume
This tool saved us on our current large project. We had 4000 lineal metres of weatherboards to face nail with 90mm galvanised nails. Pre-drilled, set a whole bunch of nails and then sink them home with the palm nailer, then punch em home by hand. For someone who has badly broken his hammer arm it was a game changer!
Dude, I'm a roofer for 25 years and I'm just now finding out about this. I'd say you did your part!
I have been a roofer for 18 yrs.an had this in my tool box for over 12. Sounds to me your not much of a roofer. Just my 2 cent.
@@jayisfedup6896 Bet Danny can build a roof faster than you and your fancy palm nailer.
@@nathan87 for 1 i rarely use my palm nailer. 2nd off i have had a lot of people make the same claims. Everyone can out roof me. So...we make beats an to this day i haven't lost yet. Be glad to challenge any1. I'm sure they are out there but I love to see it.
@@jayisfedup6896 don't worry, I was only kidding ;) in all seriousness though, I wouldn't judge somebody for this. There's always one or two random things even very experienced people haven't come across, and you can still do an excellent job with just the basics.
My dad would have loved that tool. Remember nailing nails in tight spots where that tool would have been perfect.
I use mine all the time for joist hanger nails. Works great
I set all my joist hangers and then let my wife drive the nails using the palm nailer. It's something she can do to help and it really saves me a lot of time.
I know you showed a Bostitch strap nailer a week or so back, but this palm nailer is THE tool for joist hanger and hurricane strap installation. Bostitch PN-50 for the small version and PN-100 for the larger one.
One complaint that people have with the palm nailer is the placement of the hose connector. You can install a swivel connector which gives better access in close locations.
My building code required a 1 1/2" .149 diameter nail be used on the hurricane straps. I tired using a few different nailers, but none would center the nail in the pre-punched strap.
I don't make a living erecting buildings, so MY pneumatic tools are staying for a long time. It beats hand nailing. Also, if you purchase the urethane light weight hoses, they don't exhibit your complaint of being heavy.
I have the Milwaukee 12 volt it’s great thing was a life saver for hanging joists hangers in a tight spots. Thank you for the video👍🏼
Aaron Cervantes I got a pneumatic one from Harbor Freight when I did my deck. Next time I have a job where I can really use it I will likely justify the M12 to go along with my rapidly increasing M12 collection.
Over the years have only used it, maybe 10 times but, it has saved my bacon and has paid for itself a hundred times over. I could throw it out and still be way ahead for having owned one. Thanks for sharing. Especially in tight spaces!
just ordered one of these on a friends recommendation. had no idea how they work until i watched your video. i was imagining it being just one "blow" like a framing nailer. this is way cooler than i thought!
I have had my Senco palm nailer for almost 20 years, never lost the magnet redo the video!!! Also they require a ton of lubricant, due to the number of movements when doing mucho hangers the ultimate tool!
bought my Porter Cable palm nailer 15 or 20 years ago. Got it before positive placement nailers were more prevalent and used it for all the joist hangers on my deck.
We used to use the senco palm nailers all the time for hangers and strapping. We finally broke down and got hanger guns after framing a hotel where they required hurricane straps down the exterior walls and both interior walls making up the hallway down the center of the building on every floor... I remember my hand being so sore and numb after running one of these for a couple days strait.
My dad bought a framing nailer and one of these came with it. I laughed at it and said awe that’s cute. Once I used it I loved it! They are definitely handy!
I've used one quite a bit. Haven't really used it much when building a new structure but when remodeling I've used it a ton. I plan on getting a cordless version after my pneumatic finally wears out. It's definitely a handy tool to have when needed but you won't use it constantly so something to think about when considering.
Another thing for toolsday is the air locker, that removes nails. It's great if you're taking pallets apart and need to remove lots of nails. With the air locker and a pallet buster, you can disassemble lots of pallets quickly. You get the pallets for free. You can build things with the pallet wood, like dog houses, and sell them. When I was a kid, my dad and our cousin used to knock down old barns and other buildings. They would sell the wood. The kids job was to remove all the nails, then give the nails to another kid who's job was to straighten any bent nails and put all the good nails in one bucket, and any bad nails in another bucket.
I wish I'd seen this video years ago. I'd seen them on the hardware store shelf and always thought they were a toy. I decided to buy one last year and was blown away with how well they work. Especially good for renovations where you may need to get brackets/hangers/etc in to tight places where it would be impossible to fix them otherwise. Cheap, work well, and can drive any standard nail.
Wow, thanks for showing us the palm nailer,, wish they had that 40 years ago all the tight places I to nail , neat tool thanks again 👍
THANK YOU for making this video! I've been putting off a roofing project for a couple years because I was unsure how to replace the shingles in a tight spot along the house. Heading to the store right now to pick one up. This will work perfect!
Why isn’t your man helping you?!?
I got one about 10 years ago for tight spaces and hangers. Pretty great little tool, but it is loud. Hearing protection is a must.
I had the opportunity to use a palm nailer 10 years ago (?), it was a wonderful tool. Soon after my using it, it Disappeared off of the radar
I just used a mini palm nailer to put the nails in my wood soffit repair on my home. Game changer as I didn't have a nail gun. Picked mine up at Harbor Freight for cheap.
Big fan of the palm nailer! It can definitely be your get out of jail free card at times. They make joist hangers and hurricane ties an absolute breeze. I also once used mine to insert a roll pin that I couldn’t get to go when I was replacing my clutch master cylinder. I would have bought it for that alone. Great video, Kyle!
Jaja, I thought it was Canelo Alvarez. The Mexican professional boxer
Lol I’ve heard that a few times
me too
4 real
Thats the reason I opened this video lol
A doppelgänger of Canelo!
Kyle I own a M12 Milwaukee cordless palm nailer that I use on joist hangers. Found it on sale for $69 for the kit at my local tool store. Works great.
I can remember when my dad got his first Palm nailer and us using it on the job brings back fond memories
I love this thing! When you get over 40, you gotta save that shoulder as much as possible. You forgot to mention the interchangeable tips with this model. Great video regardless. More people need to know about palm nailers.
I have one just like that I've had for over 10 years. It works great for nailing somewhere there is nothing behind it like when a nail and hammer just bounces. the newer ones are about half that size of that one.
not newer....different this is the large size... there are two different sizes
Thanks for posting this. I have one of these but needed to be reminded how versatile it is. Gave me a number of ideas on why I should pull it out of the drawer more often!
I've owned both the Bostitch and the Senco version of this tools, as well as a cheap off-brand version. Nothing's better for hangers in tight spaces. Also, they come with different heads in the box, one of which is magnetic.
Found it useful for Teco nails and common nails when fastening beam hanger or hurricane clips. Especially when they are overhead.
Should have read the rest of the comments first...
I put up a garage last year and used for joist hangers on my rafters, it was great. Small nails tight place, it worked great.
We used them to install fasteners on 737 thrust reverser. About two hundred fasteners per half.
They help with the ergonomics as well so saves the body.
Kyle, So amazing...I'm volunteering at a Habitat For Humanity building project in San Jose and I used one of these for the first time on some joist hangers; didn't even know they existed! It sure beats swinging a hammer in tight spots. Great video.
I just bought a small one from Canadian Tire... specifically to avoid hammering and further damaging my one shoulder and looking forward to using it to nail in pine boards on my camp's ceiling.
Hi;
I nave a Cordless Nail Driver and use it on joist hanger when they are close to the ground. Works great and does not have as much recoil.
I built a fence with that nailer. Love it! And it’s supposed to be magnetized.
Yep . Handy for joist hanger nails . Saves my fingers from getting smashed and the end is magnetic
impacts will ruin the magnetic properties of metal. The shocks may be enough to demagnetize the tool.
@@MascottDeepfriar Then you have to wonder why they magnetize the tool in the first place if that were to happen . Haven't had any problems yet and if I do I'll still use the tool . Beats smashing my fingers trying to hammer in those short hanger nails .
@@henryrodgers3409 Oh I agree when I'm at the top of a ladder reaching into the joists a palm nailer is glorious.
I have the PN50, bought it used. Best $20 I've spent on a tool. It was a must have when framing my deck with 12" on center joists. Not enough room for the air nailer when doing the blocking. Hitting a knot in the wood slows it down but it doesn't bend the nail like I usually have happen with a hammer. Used it to drive 120 16D 3 1/2" galvanized nails and it took no time at all.
Those are great for joist hangers and plates and stuff.
I love my Greg! It comes with several heads for various purposes. Great nailer.
I was surprised that it operated more like a impact driver than shooting it in like a normal nailer. Live and learn😝😀 I like tools but I'm not in the trades so I just didn't know. Thanks for letting us know how it works, Rodney
I used to use something like that for a door company to make holes through a template so we put this plastic molding on top of the door and it reminds me of that tool it's been so long since I work there it was in 19 86 food glue plastic molding on top of the door and send them out to the customers and there are so used on metal doors to but it works smooth skin thank you for bringing back memories for a job I was laid off at it was a fun place to work at take care every Wife and Kids look at your next video
You won't use it everyday but when you need it and you have it,it's worth it's weight in gold
I’d love to try one of those nailers out. One thing I didn’t realize though is that you still have to load each nail. I guess I was thinking it was the same as the other air-nailers. Loading coils of nails into the chamber. But, even having to load each individual nail would still save time for me.
Just received my Husky pneumatic mini palm nailer without owner's manual, PdF, or a turn-on switch. I turned that thing every which a way and still couldn't figure out how to turn it on. Your vedio cleared the air on that problem. Thanks, JD
Thanks, I just found out about palm nailers & ordered one! Hope I save my shoulders, too!
Love my palm nailer use it all the time.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great for teko nails on joist hangers.
great for joist hangers and removing nails from boards
I got a palm nailer when I built my deck a year or two ago. It was perfect for nailing brackets between joists.
I bought a box of misc crap at an auction awhile back had one of these in it. Had no idea what it was. Asked an old buddy of mine and he said its a palm nailer. Haven`t used it yet,still laying on the bench.
I worked for Danair Inc. the company the originally made these from 1999 to 2002 in Visalia California. I probably built like 20,000 of these.
I've seen'em but never used them.
I'll try on my next floor joist set.
Thanks 👍
show starts at 4:00. that's what u came to see boys
Have to admit that I have one of the palm nailers you showed. Bought it years ago for some cape-cod style roof truss repairs and it was amazing in those tight spaces. Also bought one of the little Ryobi finish hammer nailers. Great for quick nails into tight spaces, for repairs, or just controlled fastening to avoid "hammer dimples" :-)
man thanks so much perfect application for clay tile roof nail replacement... definitely going to pick one up
I bet Larry Haun could have met that 'hammer challenge " 😉
it's like the only palm nailer video actually showing someone use the palm nailer lmao thank you
First...by accident but ill take it...but really Kyle keep up the great work watching your build series is an inspiration to raise building standards and really go that extra mile on all jobs
Haha
Hey Kyle love this mate 👌💯 I just bought one of these to fix metal tie downs i reckon all this tool needs is a long extension adaptor call it to get into tight spaces love it great invention 👊
I dont have one yet...that will change. I can see it useful nailing over my head, upside-down, tight spaces attics, electrical boxes,soffits. Noisy, though.
bought a compact palm nailer from HF to put in joist hangers on a tucked header. worth every penny. there was no way i was getting a hammer up in a ceiling joist space and only had to cut about 8 inches of drywall out which was more than i needed anyway.
is toolsday where you go threw all your old tools and send them too me to fill my shop up ,, lol great video ,, you can store the palm nailer with a magnet stuck too it and it should become magnetized maybe only temp but would help ,, magnet in the tip would break there mostly made of a soft material .. keep up the great videos .. love watching them ,,
If you'd get a gel glove, that vibration wouldn't get to your hand anymore. I don't know that they make them anymore, but i think Bosch had some? Anyways, they are old tech that was used with jackhammers before they started putting those air ride handles.
Nice thanks
A palm pile driver 😮 lovely stuff 👍
We used to use those on H1 hurricane ties for Habitat For Humanity. Nailing the short fat nails through truss tie plates was extremely difficult by hand. You'd smash your fingers constantly because the nail was so short and the angle was hard as you are right up against the wall. Alternative was to use slip joint pliers to hold the nail so you could take a good swing at it. Palm nailer was best though, until they bought a Bostitch gun that shot those nails on a strip. Palm Nailer is also great for great for nailing upside down.
Wow never seen that! Other thing is this thing isn’t limited to tiny subset of nails like 99% of nail guns. Woot blew my mind 🤯
all nails!!
Thank you Kyle. Good point about shoulder
Crazy cool tool
How did canelo learned English so fast,congrats man,arriva inglis
I also thought it was canelo on the thumbnail.
Lmao
Exact thought
Te la mamastes
😂😂
👍🏿😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
I use my palm nailer on joist hangers and love it!
Thank you for real 👍🏽 did not know this was a thing love videos like this definitely subscribing
Canelo alvarez is a handyman in another life and this is it
They are great for running your 3in 45 degree nails on you joist hangers
I've got a two story house Im ready to build, gonna use the palmer to build the entire
thing
😂😂😂😎
Used it back in the day for low to the ground soffits where you can't get a hammer or a gun, the only tool for the job. I bought one a few weeks ago at Lowe's for $50, didn't come with the glove that yours has. Will be using it for teco nails for brackets on high posts that have no real support yet
lol The hammer hand go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I have a cheapie palm nailer that I do my hurricane ties with. I never have to use TWO hands. A cushioned palm glove can be helpful. Mine goes ZZZZip. Did my palm nailer comment from last week trigger your memory?
Good job,OK I need this palms nailer .
Hey Kyle of subject but have you seen the new vest for the diamondback tool belt ? I’m going to wait for summer to end to wear in the fall & winter months. If you get one you should do a toolsday on that . Keep up the great work bro . Thanks !
That is a cool a$$ tool for $100.00 , NICE !!!!!
Never seen this tool before, pretty cool!
Cool tool!
that is one of those tools when you need it its great to have it but im defiantly going to try the hammer a nail
Larry Haun is shaking his head in heaven right now.
I couldn’t do that challenge. I can barely hit the nail with the face of the hammer. LOL
I'm with you there!
I would call that an impact nailer
Pretty cool tool Kyle.
Gotta hand it to ya. (sorry, that needed to be said, hopefully just once)
Never seen one before great job
I always saw those but figured it was a gimmick now i want one tnx
Pretty cool tool
Ha! I have never seen one of those before. How amazing!😯😯😯😜
