This item is great for installing trackwork. Works well & is better than using a hammer as nails sometimes get bent if hit slightly off center & also is a much quieter way to place nails.

Should of bought one sooner...easy to learn how to and use. Made adding little 1/4 inch nails to the ship kit a breeze.

I used this for mounting N scale track directly to a plywood base board. The wood was dense so I pre-drilled holes. The tool works like a charm! Not only is the top magnetic, I also found that the handle was too, allowing me to “store” extra track nails there. Tool is comfortable to use and I like that you can set it up to prevent it driving a nail deeper than you want. Handy when doing an initial setup of track (it allows you to set it to leave the nail head up off the surface of the track to make pulling them out easier if needed).
