Review on πŸ’ͺ Freeman PMPN Mini Palm: A Ergonomic and Lightweight Powerhouse by Isaac Simpson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Essential for joist hangers and other connectors (and excellent warranty service)

Last month I used this tool to drive a few thousand nails in a decking project. Not a single bent nail, it's amazing and easy. Don't get me wrong, the manly side of me loves to wield a hammer, but for up-close nail hammering this tool is essential. Plus: It just works. So simple that even a child can handle it. (Hey kid: weigh your palm down, it slides in quicker) Not quite so good: a bit messy at first. Mine splattered and leaked a bunch of dark oil the first day I used it. I think it's just factory fitted grease because it dwindles and is almost gone. See photo. For the first day, just cover the tool with a rag if that bothers you. Your pancake compressor may need regular breaks between nails to regain pressure. Surprisingly in my case the magnet was gone so it could still be used, it just turned out to be annoying as it can no longer be used with one hand. I contacted Freeman and they sent me a new one with the magnet intact! I love a company that backs their guarantee. This is a great tool and amazing value. This is not my first Freeman air tool and it won't be my last.
