Why doesn't the owners of Reconyx make a nail kicker that is a more powerful version of the palm nailer and price it around $100 ??? They would surely sell a lot more of them and they would work better than the kicker that they currently try to sell for $300.

Maybe this tool will appeal to recycle yards like the ones they have in Austin Texas. Jim

Was just a cheapo grizzly one too. Worked just fine. Seems like jsut a palm nailer with a slightly longer barrel, and a trigger... that costs 3 times as much. Fred: This too only claims to drive a nail flush as well. I used a palm nailer for just that purpose last night. Was just a cheapo grizzly one too. Worked just fine.

You are now hitting the bottom of the nail not the top to you want a narrow sleeve so it can’t fall off the nail, or allow it to bend. Joe:

This gizmo seems more like the end on a percussion hammer or air chisel. Joe:
