Do any of you guys have this yet or have used it? If you have, does it actually work. It seems like it could be quite useful for nailing in areas where swinging a hammer just isnt possible.
Hammer drill won't get you very far, since it isn't a drill. They call it an "auto hammer", and it's basically a cordless palm nailer. I'd have to see how many nails it could drive on a charge, and how fast it could drive them. From the video, it doesn't look very fast. I could probably drive the nail with a hammer faster, so the only thing it would really be good for is to have around for those times when you don't have a gun rolled out, can't quite get the nail in with a hammer, and don't want to roll out the compressor, hose, and palm nailer. If you already have a gun rolled out, it's just as easy to swap in the pneumatic palm nailer.
The part where the guy is using it to do roofing is comical though.:thumbsup:
I can see something like that coming in handy when you would want to use your palm nailer to get into a tough spot but don't want to pull out the compressor for only a few nails.
Yeah I dont know why I called it a Hammer Drill. The roofing part also makes no sense. I thought it could come in handy on some siding projects because I worked on one wehre the soffit was at a 45 degree angle two feet over and I couldnt for the life of me get a nail to sit into the J-Channel right.
If you have a gun rolled out, then using a palm nailer will be just as easy. If you do a fair amount of nailing in tight spots, and don't have a gun rolled out, you will get more use out of this thing.
