Micro-Mark Push Hammer for Pins (3/64 Inch Maximum Diameter Heads)

This unit works great. I had ordered two different push nailers. This one from Micro Mark is great, but, it is too small for the brads I'm using.

The 3/64 th inch head nails that came with my wood model ship did not fit the push hammer out of the box. I followed the advice of another reviewer and reamed out the opening of the push hammer with a 3/64th inch drill bit which allowed my nails to fit. It did take some practice to insert the nails without bending them. I found if I guide the nail with my index finger of the hand I use for pushing the hammer, I can get the nails to insert straight without bending the majority of the time. I found it to be a helpful tool that makes nailing a lot easier and faster. I recommend this product, but keep in mind you might have to enlarge the opening for it to work properly.

It is practically impossible to hold a brad and use the tool. It should have a holder of some sort or be magnetic.

I do wish that these tool were made in a variety of sizes for many different nail diameters however that would be a collection of vert little used nail setters sitting in a drawer. Works very well for intent, there is always that rare stray nail or poorly held handle that could drive at the 'not perfect 90' so do not be too harsh on the tool.It works as well as intended.

Care should be exercised on the size nail to be driven as the device only works with a single size nail, which was not apparent to the first time user.

This does not work for modeling nails. Only for straight pins

First, buying this was all my fault. It is designed for nails with heads much smaller than those commonly used. If you use any of the brads sold here, buy a push hammer that accepts 1/16" nail heads, not this one. I'll keep it because it's my fault and because I may one day buy a model that has 3/64" pins.

I purchased to push extremely small brads into the hull of a wooden ship model. Unfortunately the heads of my brads ended up being to large to fit inside the tool nozzel. So make sure to measure before ordering because they charge for shipping. I also ordered this based on the 4+ score on the thirty reviews but I did not look at the reviews before ordering. I have now since tried to look at these reviews and only one is showing up. If I had checked the reviews first and had noticed that only one was appearing, I would have ignored the 4+ ratting and probably would not have ordered this item.
