I'm sitting here reading my handyman email and playing with my Hammerhead Auto-Hammer. It works a lot like a palm nailer which is why I jumped on to this thread. It is shaped a lot like the Craftsman power screwdriver which I also have. The batteries look the same although I haven't actually tried to put the battery from one into the other. The business end, which is at right angles to the handle is a hole that looks like something aught to go in there. There is an outer sleeve that is spring loaded. You place the head of a nail in the end of the sleeve, the sleeve is magnetized to hold it. It won't hold it while you drive the nail, it is just to keep the nail from getting lost. You hold the nail and press down and it starts to drive the nail. You take your hand away and it continues to pound, like a jack hammer. It doesn't stop hammering when the nail is in all the way. If you keep pressure on it it will make a slight indentation in the wood. The harder you press the harder it will hammer. It won't drive the nail unless you put pressure on it. It is noisy. If you pull the trigger with no nail in place the motor will run,sounding like a drill or screwdriver, but it won't hammer.
