The Compact Palm Nailer. Boarded 3 beavers with it just barely and I will never board another beaver without one.

How does unboarding the beaver work? Easy to pull the nails out?

Some times easy methods for boarding make for extra work unboarding.

Just curious. Not looking for a fight. Thanks.

Would think it would pull out just like hammered nails Nancy. That is really all it is is a hammer for tight places.

Might save the occasional smashed finger! Do they work with horseshoe nails?

Ya it dose save the thumbs. They are the same to pull out as if you were to hammer it in. I would think it would pound a horse shoe nail in.

I don't get it? Tap done, tap done with a hammer. Maybe two taps?

I always used a hydraulic brad nailer. You could easily pull the brads out with a pair of pliers. I never used a hammer and nails. Too hard on the fingers.


Got a gift from my brother. It was 3 AA batteries with a note that said, Gift Not Included.

Always boarded beavers use super fine finishing nails , started using hoops only because of lack of room to store boards. Really like the hoops now drying time better and easier for me personally to put them up

Yep done it that way for years, I'm ok with a little work. When I put up beaver I'm never in a hurry.

I just don't see how a pneumatic nailer that you feed the nail for is going to be any faster. I get that staplers will be faster.
