What happens here

Following the first incorrect method, the video demonstrates another unsafe way to set a nail. Here, the user attempts to stabilize the nail by pinching it between their thumb and forefinger, with their fingers still very close to the nail head. While slightly better than the previous method, this still puts fingers at risk during the initial strikes of the hammer.

Goal: Identify another unsafe nail setting technique

Tools and materials

  • Hammer — Striking the nail
  • Nail — The fastener to be driven
  • Wood Surface — The material into which the nail is driven
