MECHANICAL NAILER

Abstract

The mechanical nailer is a tool that is specially designed to facilitate work involving wood nailing. The main problem that often occurs in nailing is regarding to safety issues. The use of a regular hammer in nailing work often causes injury to the user especially for those who are inexperienced in hammering. Injuries often occur in the hands, more specifically the fingers. This is because their fingers are exposed to the hammer when they want to hammer. Therefore, the objective of this tool is to reduce the risk of injury when hammering by converting the use of a regular hammer to a mechanically functioning hammer and preventing the fingers from being exposed to the hammer. The use of this tool is also easy because the user just needs to insert the nail into the holder and pull and release the rod until the nail goes into the wood. The results of the study were obtained by using the method of questionnaires to the public on the issue of nailing .The improvement made is that this carpentry equipment is designed to prevent injuries to the fingers and the effective design makes this tool small as well as light and easy to use. Due to its portable design, this tool can be easily carried and stored.
