nailer
Carpenter's power tool
A nailer is a power tool that drives nails into wood or other materials, replacing the manual work of a hammer.
Carpenters and construction workers rely on nailers—also called nail guns—for framing, roofing, and finish work.
The term can also refer to a person who nails, though this sense is uncommon outside of historical contexts.
Informally, something described as a nailer is particularly impressive or effective: That last serve was a nailer.
