I believe that is called a brad push.

For those wee small nails (aren't they called brads?) I had a gizmo which you put the brad into and then hammared the pushrod which in turn pushed the brad in. Sure was a whole lot easier on nerves and fingers. Since I am a massage therapist I am even more cautious with my poor hands and fingers.

I can put in ten nails with it, while I would get one in with the hammer. It is wonderful when installing base board and other trim. The fingers come away much happier as well. Yours Truly, Clifford Wilson Ps. The language barrier is broken much less frequently as well. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5394 (20100824) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
