Hi all

if this is the wrong place please move and sorry.

I am after a pin nailer for doing the ship planking. the only one i can find is in the artesania Latina #1 tool kit.
given that the kit is about 20ish pds and freight to New Zealand is way more than that its not a very economical way to get 1 small tool.
is there another name for these and are there any suggestions where i can find them in NZ. i have trued all the usual tool shops and model shops and nothing that even remotely looks like it.

Thanks in advance
Erik

BigGrin hi Erik they are also known as pin pushers and are used for pushing pins into model railway track so it might be worth having a chat with a railway model shop Cool
Hope this helps

A good example on ebay is in the link below and includes two different diameter tubes for different sized pins.
