The popular and useful realm of air tools includes nail guns, which have been designed to help with tough and intensive manufacturing, construction, and repair jobs. These guns are able to launch nails at a high speed by concentrating their force into a single blow, which can be quickly repeated. Every time a nail is driven out, the machine loads a new nail automatically. Some nail guns can instantly drive a nail into even the toughest surface, be it a thick piece of wood, concrete, stone, or an even harder material. Pneumatic nail guns are popular form of air tool for both home and industrial use. As their name indicates (pneumatic is a derivation of the Greek pneumatikos, "coming from the wind"), these guns are powered by air. An air compressor typically generates the force necessary for a pneumatic nail gun to operate. The air compressor draws air into a valve and then pushes it out to the gun. Whenever the trigger is pushed, air pressure above a sliding piston head forces an attached blade downward. The nail is then forcefully propelled out of the chamber. Though they might be considered bulky and heavy by some, pneumatic nail guns excel at performing their jobs in ways no other air tools can. Please be advised that because of the extreme power of these air tools, they should be handled with utmost care at all times, and in some cases they may even be restricted by local legislation.
