[pianotech] palm nailers?

[Delwin D Fandrich]

I've been using a Danair <http://www.danairinc.com/palmnailer.html> for
about 30 years -- the same one. I have no idea how many pianos I've strung
with the thing. It was even used on the line at Baldwin for a few weeks.
I've had it rebuilt by the factory once. Very nice and helpful people. It's
like they personally have an interest in what you're doing and they want to
make sure their tool is doing its job properly just for you.

Looking for a palm nailer, mainly for inserting dowels in S&S rails, but
perhaps also for tuning pins.

There are some mini versions like this which seem attractive in the not too
much woompf department.

Any experience with these small guys, or are the larger ones controllable.

Anyone looking to move one along, either flavor?
