What are the uses for a palm nailer?

Palm nailers are used to nail small items such as doll houses or model toys. For example, they can be used to insert hinges in doll house doors or to attach the tracks for model railroads.

Pneumatic palm nailers can fasten larger objects and are used when a carpenter has little room to work. A palm nailer straps to the palm of the hand, which is how the tool gets its name. Pushing the nailer's barrel against an object activates a spring loader that ejects a nail or brad. Palm nailers are lightweight and depend on palm pressure to work.
