Too bad they decided to make it look like a hammer instead of a palm
nailer. Having your hand directly behind the point of impact would
make more sense. They'll learn.

I saw that on TV and thought it was a good extension of the palm nailer for
decks Joists.
A warning on Li-Ion - they don't like Texas or Az heat. The battery drys out.
Keep them indoors and use them as needed. Pain in the xxxx!
I have a skill wrench (in the metal shop building - dead) - same present - skill
triangle driver. It works fine - sitting on my desk in the house.
Might be Skill - might be Li-Ion. Might be sub contractor to Skill.

Mebbe so, but that depends on the size of someone's mitts. I think to
a large degree the design/marketing people decided that it should look
like a hammer.

Battery operated at 1.86 pounds, it seems unreasonable to even hope for this
to drive a 3" nail, or even a 1.5" nail. Think of the necessary "recoil"!

If it uses impacts, recoil will be very little.

True, but they tout how well it gets into tight spaces. If you have to put
your hand behind it, you won't fit into as many tight spaces. Leverage
versus fit, a compromise.

Suspicious. Reviews were mostly very bad or very good, very little middle
ground. Makes one wonder if some reviews were bogus. Knowing what I know
about Craftsman tools in the last few decades, I'm prone to believe the
negatives.
