Air Hammer

[Farrell]

FYI, the tip that came with my Danair Palm Nailer has the following specs.
Maximum Nail Head Diameter:  21/64"
Size Penny Nail: 3-8
Model Number: RN 16-8

I find that it would be OK if the tip were a bit smaller - but it is just
fine as-is. It also has a spring-loaded collar that extends down below the
hammering surface to keep the hammering surface on top of the nail/tuning
pin.
