Palm Nailers (again)

[Greg Newell]

David,
	I am currently using a Senco nailer. It works just fine. I've never
had it bruise the top of a pin. I've never needed any of the extra gadgets
(depth gauge, etc.) of the expensive ones. I don't have the leather wrap
either but then I'm not holding it that long. YMMV.

P.S. anyone know where to get a square socket for tuning pins that fits an
impact gun? I'd love it if it were an impact socket but would settle for
regular chrome steel if I had to. I have a chrome steel one now and it's
split. Must be 1/2 drive!

Suffering from a nasty bout of tendonitis, I'm considering getting a palm
nailer for stringing.  I know we went over this before but I have a quick
question.  Can you just use any old nailer and do you need to do something
to protect the top of the pin from the plunger (or whatever it's called)?
