    If it is used to set nails it is a nail set (go figure) specifically it is an automatic nail set. A similar tool is an automatic center punch, which can be used to mark metal before drilling, among other things. Amazon sells a variety of them. edkerns1

    To nailing system (which new product dose not need, is hammer nailing )
    New hard wood floor are key and slot system and all you need is a piece of plastic for taped to gather usually come with product or you can get one from seller for free. JOHN K

    You are talking about a spring loaded center punch. It doesn’t require a hammer you just push it down and it ’snaps”
    Never seen it used for setting nails but that sounds like a good idea I’m going to try it!! Maybe they now make a spring loaded nail set. If not I’ll race you to the patent office!! Hope this helps!! texasfixit
