What happens here
Immediately after the nail gun drives the nail, a traditional claw hammer is used to complete the fastening. The hammer strikes the head of the partially driven nail, pushing it flush with or slightly below the surface of the lumber. This ensures a secure, finished fastening.
Goal: Fully drive and secure the nail flush with the wood surface.
