I recently offered to help my cousin wire up his entire new house in the UP, Michigan, Romex cabling throughout 3 stories with many rooms. Having done wiring for 50 years with conduit, Greenfield (BX), and Romex, I was up for the challenge except for the many staples that had to be placed correctly and sometimes in tight spaces. The hammer just doesn't hit the staple just right every time. Having focused on Ryobi tools and collected many over time, I was hoping they offered some portable palm hammer to be more efficient. No one makes such a tool but Skill. I gave it a try and was blown away with how well it worked out. Light weight, well balanced, with a great battery life. After using it for 3 days, up on ladders and tight locations, this has become one of my new favorite tools. Battery life exceeds the Ryobi ones known for long charge life. Makes me wish I spent more attention to the Skill tool products years ago. I would HIGHLY recommend this portable hammer with the right price tag.
