don't mean to be a debbie downer - but placing the nail is pretty important. can probably get pretty close but you are gonna need to put your fingers in there anyways.

For most of the history of hammers, nails were rare. The "Cheney nailer" can start single nails. The use of Titanium is ridiculous. Hammers work by weight, and more volume does not help.

He filed a provisional patent. He didn't "get" one. Anyone can file a provisional patent (it gives the filer a year of breathing room). Obtaining the actual utility patent is another matter entirely.

I like the idea and design. It's difficult to market ideas.

Redesign it to use roofing nails and make it from hardened steel. That would be very useful when nailing down shingles on houses but not much else that I can think of. Framing and trim work needs more accuracy in placing the nails than most people would get using that tool. It's an interesting tool though all the same. I can see it being used for roofing in areas that don't have power yet. It would be a little faster than hand setting each nail once you got used to it.

The real problem comes with holding on to the nail to keep it from bending while it is about two thirds exposed. This is especially prevalent in roofing, where the nailing base is very springy. There is a pre-loaded roofing hammer that addresses this.

A great idea that’s just what the Industry needs. Not having to lug my large Framing nailer to several tight spots would be really nice. Titanium is the only way to go since I’ve been using my “Titanium” roofing hammer for years and certainly don’t want to ever go back to a steel hammer. I’d be happy to spend up to 200.00 if this hammer would actually work and not jam.

An awesome tool that may not be for everyone, but indispensable for some. Isn't that what tools are all about anyway? I hope it goes to market.

Cute idea, but, I think a powered nailer would be more effective, and ultimately, probably not a lot different in price.

I want one. Where do I get it?
