[pianotech] palm nailers?

What do you use for an interface between the palm nailer and the tuning pin.  I have tried one direct to the pin and tend to get some flattening of the tops of the pins.  I would like to eliminate that "feature" if at all possible.

If you're planning on driving tuning pins, the little one won't get it. You need the power and mass of the big one. I bought one from Harbor Freight figuring I'd try a cheap disposable nailer before upgrading to a better class tool, but have been using the cheap one just fine ever since. I bought a little Grip-Rite mini a couple of years ago to play with. It won't drive tuning pins, but may do rail dowels okay. Don't know.

FWIW,
