How to learn to hammer nails and keep your fingers whole

Many people who have ever driven nails constantly think about this issue. This is a fairly common problem for beginners that needs to be addressed. Professionals have long learned how to deal with this and now want to give you several working ways to protect themselves that will help you in this difficult task.

1. Of course, a slightly ineffective, but still common way is to use a linen clip as a clip. If you beat your fingers with random misses on the subject, then it will allow you to reduce the chance of "hitting" to zero. A little practice and you will even like this method. It is worth mentioning that it works with: pliers, a comb, tweezers and many other things that are at your fingertips;
2. Purchase of a “magnetic hammer”. Yes, such tools are more expensive than conventional ones, but they negate all your mistakes, due to the fact that the hammer itself is attracted to the head of the clove. Also, this thing is not found in every store, and you will either have to search well or order on the Internet;

3. Well, the best way is practice, practice, and practice again. Do not be afraid to make mistakes, because every professional has come a long way to learn how to hit with a hammer. You can talk about this method forever, but let's just give you some tips:
   • Find the right, and most important, convenient place on the handle, in which you will hold your brush. The right grip is the key to success, if you find how you will hammer a nail, then more than half the way has already been covered;
   • Learn to swing your brush correctly (not conveniently, but correctly). You do not need to do a huge swing with your hand, the main thing is to try to beat with one brush, but hard. This way of hitting is much more accurate than the way beginners score. It is also worth keeping the brush straight, for this you need to practice.

Perhaps if you don’t like holding a nail with anything, just take a drill that will be similar in diameter to your nail and drill a small hole. It will help you solve the problem easily.

Try one of these methods and understand which one is the most convenient for you. Thanks for reading!
