nailers
Carpenters use them
Nailers are tools or workers that drive nails.
A nail gun is often called a nailer—pneumatic nailers, electric nailers, framing nailers.
The word also describes people who nail things for a living, or informally, someone who excels at something: She's an absolute nailer at pub trivia.
In sports, a nailer is a decisive shot or play.
