Hammering on Tight Spaces – What’s the experts’ suggestion!

Hammer and nail, this duo are the most common and easy-to-use repairing tools. But in some cases, like nailing on a corner or on a window frame or between surfaces where the hammer doesn’t fit, it becomes great trouble. But you can solve it by using a supportive tool. We can think of the tool as third-party support in nail-hammer chemistry.

When people ask how to hammer something in a tight space, we recommend using a third tool as support (think of it as daddy’s cheer in a first-stage performance) for the nail and, of course, their hand. This third tool may be anything you want it to be:

1. Piece of wood
2. Pencil
3. Piece of cardboard
4. Simple dolly
5. Scale, or something else entirely.

Step-1: While you are hammering a nail on a curved surface or a flat but confined surface, use a hairpin or cardboard or something like these things, which may help you to hold the nail in an accurate position as well as save your fingers and hammering will be easy.

Using a steel scale.

Step-2: Again, if you have to hammer a nail between two surfaces where striking the hammer is not possible, use a supportive tool like a dolly.

Or a chisel, use the tool as shown in the pictures. It will make your hammer striking easier.

Step-3: Now, on surfaces where striking a hammer is almost impossible, there you can go for this technique.

Use a measuring tool as a hammer. But must use that one which uses air pressure to work.

Step-4: Also, you can use the hammerhead auto hammer for tight spaces. It’s pretty effective on confined surfaces for providing maximum pressure and accuracy.

Palm Nailer can also be an option for nailing in tight spaces. Basically, it’s an air-based tool that uses the pressure of air to drive a nail. It can Strike 3600 times in a shot. As a handy tool, it fits anywhere like tiny houses, lofts, rafters, or in a container.

That concludes our suggestions on how to hammer in tight spaces. Of course, there might be many other techniques. Choose the technique that matches your needs the best. Here we mentioned techniques based on situations that people commonly face.

However, there may be situations when these techniques are ineffective. Don’t worry at all. Simply, think and think some more, and come up with your own method.
