Compact Palm Nailerby Grip-Rite

    Although most carpenters don't have room in their toolbelt for a conventional palm nailer, they may be able to squeeze in Grip-Rite's compact GRTMP16. Weighing a little more than a pound, the new nailer is one-third the size of a conventional palm nailer, says its maker. It can drive loose nails from 1 1/2 to 3 1/2 inches and sells for about $60. 800/676-7777. www.grip-rite.com
