I think this is the same thing I bought last summer except it seems it was called a hammer head. Maybe they changed the name? Anyway, it is about the size and shape as a cordless screwdriver and uses the same battery and charger. When you press the trigger a motor runs but nothing hammers. When you hold a nail on a piece of wood and put the recessed plunger over the nail head and pull the trigger the motor runs and as you apply downward pressure to the nail it begins to hammer. The harder you press the harder it hammers. I think it is about 10 hits per second so the nail goes in real fast. It does a good job with thick nails. Recently I tried to drive some long thin nails and it tended to bend them over. I haven't used it very much yet so I really don't have the feel of it. I think with practice I can make even these thin nails go in straight. There is no real danger of hammering the wrong nail. It makes a lot of noise and I would strongly recommend ear protectors.
