Holding Down Smaller Nails

Holding Down Smaller Nails

Short brads can be difficult to hold with your fingers in order to start with a hammer, so here’s one solution to spare you a bruised thumb: Just fold a piece of painter’s tape over on itself and push the nail through it. The flap will hold the nail upright for positioning, and you can reuse it for several nails.
