Freeman PMPN Pneumatic Mini Palm Nailer

In the last month I've used this tool to install a couple thousand nails on a decking project. Not one bent nail, it's amazing and easy. Don't get me wrong, the macho side of me wants to swing a hammer, but for close quarter nailing this tool is indispensable.The plus: It just works. So easy even a kid can use it. (Hey kid: put a little weight on your palm it'll drive in faster)The not quite as good: It's a little messy at first. Mine sprayed and leaked a bunch of dark oil the first day I used it. I think this just the factory assembly lube because it's been declining and is nearly no longer present any longer. See photo. Just hold a rag over the tool for the first day if this bothers you.It's an air hog for sure. Your pancake compressor may need regular breaks between nails to get back up to pressure.The awesome: In my case the magnet disappeared which let it still useable, just proved to be annoying as it can no longer be used single handed. I contacted Freeman and they are sending me a new one with magnet intact! I love a company that stands behind their warranty.It's a great tool and terrific value. This is not my first freeman pneumatic tool and it will not be my last.

I needed to build a foundation for my resin shed and as I looked into things, the general recommendations were to use nails and not screws. I'm not the best at driving them straight and without error, especially larger ones like the 16d common nails a plan I was looking at called for. I saw a similar palm nailer (Rigid) on Home Depot's website and looked to Amazon for a better price. When I did this came up under the suggested products and the reviews were convincing enough and especially for the price. My friend with a truck that volunteered to help me pick up lumber and do the foundation build told me to return it when I showed it to him and to rent a framing nailer. I said I had faith in it and wasn't going to rent or buy a framing nailer, so it's either this or a hammer! I used this with my air compressor (an upright Craftsman model - 10 gallons I believe) and it hardly kicked on for the amount of nails I was driving. The 16d and 8d common nails I was driving were no trouble at all. I did toenailing for vertical boards and that was not a problem either. This was the perfect tool for the job and a great value. I'd recommend it to anyone doing small to medium sized jobs. If you were doing a huge job, it could be cumbersome loading in each nail separately, but those types of loading nails and the tools for them are a LOT more expensive. This was perfect for my needs and preformed flawlessly.

I used this to nail up some beam hangers that were in a spot that would make swinging a hammer nearly impossible.I worked great and drove the nails with relative ease. I found that the magnet didn't hold the nail so well. I also thought that the pneumatic hose got in the way in a couple of really tight spots so I had to drive my nails on a bit of an angle. I probably should have used a more flexible lighter weight air line to avoid that issue.Over all I thought it made a nice addition to my tool collection and will definitely come in handy some time down the line. Happy Hammering!

Drives a 16 D galvanized ring shank nail into a treated 4x4 right out of the box. I had to back off and go at it twice. I suspect it will get better as the tool wears in.

Works awesome! Maybe too well. She drives nails in no matter what the material so you had better hold on. I am happy with the purchase

this is a great tool. It worked great

Smaller nail heads got stuck to the side of the impact piece, inside the shaft of the nailer.Would probably work great on latlrger nails... just not finish nails. Not that you should be using this for any finish work. It will put dents in the wood.

Great bang the buck. I used this for framing in tight spaces worked like a charm.

Cracking bit of kit. Solved to problems on fence builds, one where no hammer would fit, but panels needed securing. On another fence build, helped tidy up the finish and get all nails flush.

Buena herramienta y versátil para trabajos de difícil acceso

Drives nails in effortlessly. Magnetic tip, lots of power. Great for nailing joist hangers

This little nailer is amazing! While building my shed and using large 6" spikes this little nailer made it so easy! Within seconds the spikes were beat in save my hand in the process. It made the whole project SO MUCH FASTER! I love this little thing and use it quite often when nailing a lot!

brilliant bit of kit! makes joist hangers a breeze!
