Nailing For Dummies
I’m a total dummy when it comes to nailing. For whatever reason, be it unseen forces of nature, I can not hit a nail straight in. It always goes in from a slight angle often marring the wood. This concept “nail assist” alleviates that embarrassment.
You insert the nail inside the guide tube. Position the tube where you want the nail to be. The large top makes it much easier to manage a hammer slamming down on it. It also protects your precious and very useful fingers. Once the nail is pushed in, simply repeat the process. Your nail will always go in straight and square into its intended target. Brilliant I say.

nice idea
So much plastic used just to prevent that the (maybe 5.5) people on earth learn how to hit a nail straight in by themselves…

You know, this would actually be really cool, with one small addition. If you could figure out how to add a nail “clip” like a six-shooter (or something in this vein) so you don’t have to reload one at a time, I think this could be really useful.
Wouldn’t that essentially be a nail gun?
This would be very useful for people like my dad, who’s hands aren’t as steady as they used to be.
You could just buy a nail gun.
Not a new idea. I have a device very similar to this - but made of brass and steel - in my garage somewhere. I don’t think I’ve used it much because reloading it takes up too much time, and nailing isn’t really that hard.
You do need a perfect nail to fit this, no good if you need to use a roofing nail or plasterboard nail as they wouldn’t fit.
