The Americans call them a Palm Nailer not sure what there called here but does anyone know where to get one. DeWalt make on but its 80-90dollars i was looking for a cheaper one.

Got one on Amazon last year deliverd for about 20 euro. Very handy. I use mine for square twist nails.

There are loads of videos on the web. The main advantage is that you can drive nails in places where there isn't room to swing a hammer.

The impression I get from the vids is that they are slower than a nail gun and not much quicker than a skilled hammer arm, but I guess they can drive a nail straight and no chance of a miss.

Thanks lads, i'll probably go the amazon or e-bay route don't think any of the DIY shops sell them.
A friend of mine whose a carpenter has a sore shoulder at the moment and i thought it might help reduce the work load.
