Craftsman NEXTEC 12 Volt Lithium-Ion Hammerhead Auto Hammer —

This is a great invention. It is portable and compact and easy to use. With that said it does have some negatives. I am a professional roofer, it comes in very handy in tight spaces like under soffits over hangs valleys and chimneys. It works great on firm solid surfaces such as one byes, two byes and half inch or thicker OSB. It does not however work as well on half inch or thinner plywood. It does seem a little weak at times and you really have to put a lot of pressure behind it. I like the quick charge time and the batteries seem to have fairly good run time.

NEW! The innovative Craftsman 12 V Lithium-Ion Hammerhead Auto Hammer is the first of its kind in the marketplace. This innovative tool removes the need for a hose or cord and uses the power of a 12 Volt Lithium-Ion battery to nail nails up to 3.5-in. in length with the press of a trigger. Because of the compact design and a weight of only 1.86 lbs, the Hammerhead Auto Hammer is ideal for: nailing in tight areas where swinging is restricted, for overhead applications, for a variety of other projects that require nails, for carrying from project to project and for storage purposes. The hammerhead's powerful motor, made with a high speed/high torque design, drives nails quickly and with minimal effort in materials from construction lumber to finished wood. The hammer nails at 3600 impacts/minute and features a retractable nail sleeve that covers the impact mechanism and retracts during use to ensure flush finishes. For assistance in nail placement and nailing accuracy, a magnetic head conveniently holds nails up to 7/16-in wide. The soft-grip handle provides increased comfort and grip and the LED work light illuminates the work area for enhanced vision. The Auto Hammer is a part of the new compact line of Craftsman tools called NEXTEC. These tools are powered by a compact 12 Volt Lithium-Ion battery for enhanced performance and longer shelf life. The Hammerhead Auto Hammer Kit includes: Hammerhead Auto Hammer, 1-12 Volt Lithium-Ion battery, 30 minute quick charge charger with LED charge indicator, nail remover and carry/storage case.
