   Earl what are you putting down? had some friends driving 60 penny spikes on a deck a while back and they rigged a small jack hammer with a head for driving those 60 penny bad boys on down. Skip

   Skip, I build equestrian cross-country jumping courses- lots of timber retaining walls,
   pole construction, logs, etc. I surfed around some last night and came across the
   Danair line of palm nailers. They claim the 16-70, 16-75 and 16-78 series will sink 12"
   spikes. My question is: how fast? I have driven 12"ers with a 12 oz hammer... but that
   takes some time and elbow, and I'm getting old and impatient! Anybody?

   You would actualy want to drive a 12" spike with a palm nailer ???

   Talk about inviting nerve damage.

   Find yourself a nice short 1 1/2 to 2 pound sledge...

   Any of you fellers ever used a pneumatic spike nailer? I remember seeing a Stanley gun
   sometime back that shot up to 6" ers. Advice? Cheap used guns somewhere?
