December Tool of the Month: Springy Nail Set

Our December Construction Tool of the Month is, in IVHFH Construction Manager Chris Weckmann's terms, the Springy Nail Set​. This is one of the main tools used on the IVHFH construction site to help construction volunteers nail trim work on the inside of the home. Chris explains what a springy nail set is and its use on the construction site. Watch the video below to hear what he has to say!

What does Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity use this tool for?
The Springy Nail Set is primarily used on the site for both interior and exterior work as volunteers install trim, soffit, and fascia. Occasionally, when using an air gun to install trim, the nails may not fully embed. The Springy Nail Set is beneficial for volunteers who may be a little nervous when using a hammer, as they could accidentally strike the fascia too forcefully and dent it. This tool helps drive the nail into the final place to create a smooth surface without denting the material.
