While a palm nailer only uses one hand, as the name implies it is held securely in the palm which presses down on the tool. The advantages of this tool are obvious, but rather limited. You must load the nails one by one manually. This is their limitation as this tool is not designed for heavy construction use where speed matters. Unless you have sufficient speed, the nailer won’t drive nails effectively. Most importantly, nail driving speed control is essential when it’s about versatile jobs. The shape and size of a palm nailer relate to the comfort of the user. Its measurements play a vital role in limiting hand fatigue. You should choose a palm nailer that fits your hands. If your hands are bigger than average, purchasing a mini palm nailer is not the best decision. For your bigger hand, you should try a bigger palm nailer. It will be a more appropriate and comfortable fit. Ergonomics

However, with so many different palm nailers available on the market, it can be challenging to know which one to choose. Use a soft-bristle brush to remove any debris from the nose of the nailer, the magazine, and any air vents. If the nailer isn’t vibration-reduced, you can’t work with it in the long run. For using it for a long time, make sure you get an aluminum-built nailer. There are several scratch-resistance nailer models which should be prioritized.
