A nail gun, nailgun or nailer is a form of hammer used to drive nails into wood or other materials. It is usually driven by compressed air , electromagnetism, highly flammable gases such as butane or propane, or, for powder-actuated tools, a small explosive charge. Nail guns have in many ways replaced hammers as tools of choice among builders.

The colored straws in the tray contain cartridges that are loaded singly into the tool. Also visible are 75 mm hardened steel nails with 8 mm heads. Powder actuated tools can be variously classified: Direct acting (the charge acts directly on the head of the nail or high velocity), or indirect (using an intermediate piston or low velocity)
Nails are made in a great variety of forms for specialized purposes. The most common is a wire nail. [2] Other types of nails include pins, tacks, brads, spikes, and cleats. Nails are typically driven into the workpiece by a hammer or nail gun. A nail holds materials together by friction in the axial direction and shear strength
