Clever Design: This Hammer Add-On Speeds Nailing for Homebuilders
The Boss Magnetic Cap
The Michigan-based Boss Hammer Co. makes tools specifically for contractors. By being familiar with what contractors do day-in, day out, company founder Dan Raymond spied an opportunity to speed at least two tasks: Nailing roofs on, and nailing button-cap nails to house wrap. He subsequently invented this thing:
This Boss Magnetic Cap can be friction-fit over the hammer's head. A magnet holds the nail in place, allowing you to drive it with one hand while the other holds more nails for re-loading:
While it won't hold framing nails, you can simply pop the cap off and do those the old-fashioned way.
Runs $13.

Hammers have included a magnetic nail holder for standard nails for ages, and I feel like people rarely use them. Is there a reason house wrap nails benefit from this feature more than other nails?
