What happens here

The user places the head of the pneumatic palm nailer directly onto the head of a pre-inserted connector nail. With firm, consistent downward pressure, the tool activates, delivering rapid, powerful hammer-like strikes. This action quickly drives the nail completely into the wooden beam. The video demonstrates this process repeatedly, moving from one nail to the next within the connector plate, including nails positioned at various angles, showcasing the tool's versatility and the ease with which it drives nails into the wood without the need for swinging a hammer. Text overlays during this step confirm 'Each tap is a full-strength hammer strike.'

Goal: Securely fasten connector plates with nails.
