This subject came up a couple of years ago. Check the archives. Also check: http://www.danairinc.com/palmnailer.html We've used a DanAir air hammer for about 20 years and agree -- it's the only way to go. We've had it rebuilt twice and it just keeps going. The head we use is a modified version of the one they furnish to the piano industry. Check with them, they will know what you need. Use ear plugs and ear muffs. It's loud!
