I would put a magnet on a piece of steel long before i buy this and i would use nedle nose pliers before that so to me this is of no use but it is a good idea

When I was a little kid, an old trim carpenter taught me to never to hold a nail between my thumb and index finger. rather hold the nail between your index and middle fingers with you palm facing up. This makes it easier to to start small nails w/out hitting you hand, and if you do it is much less painful. I have always held nails this way ever since. This technique works very well with fencing staples.

I’m not going to say what I’m thinking. I’m trying really hard to do better.

Fred and JT- thanks for the poultry staple tips, I will give them try next year since we are getting more birds. I think I had more poultry staples in the yard that in the fence!

Needlenose pliers work great for this. I can’t see buying this tool, even though it’s a good idea. It’s just one more thing to carry around in the nailbags. But I agree w/ Cyrano. I could glue a magnet to a stick for much cheaper…

That’s nice, but $20 is pretty steep for a magnet on a stick =/

I usually use a long nose in a pinch.
