Air hammers/palm nailers revisited

[Farrell]

Hello Isaac. Please explain more about the "window to go around the coils". I am not aware of any such device and not sure exactly what it is you are referring to. Please tell me more. Thanks. I just have the plain steel tip "that Baldwin uses" to the best of my knowledge.
