Most use compressed air, some use CO2 that comes from a little canister. I have a Dewalt finish nailer that shoots finish nails and is part of the 18 volt system Dewalt has. This nailer that was described is similar to a palm nailer but it uses 12 volts instead of compressed air. The most appealing feature compared to an air powered nail gun is the fact that you won't over drive a nail. The sleeve will stop you from continuing to drive far past the surface of the wood. And for those that have a problem making contact with a nail using a hammer it will cut down on those nasty marks on the wood. ----- Original Message ----- From: Betsy Whitney To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, December 08, 2008 1:22 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Craftsman nextec hammerhead auto-hammer Aloha Ray, Glad you're back. I am wondering when a person would use this tool instead of a nail gun? I've never used a nail gun, so maybe that's why I don't understand why one would use this instead. Do nail guns have to be connected to a compresser or some kind of cord? Thanks.
