Nov 23 2007Nail Cushion: If You Suck With A Hammer
I'm well versed in the use of tools because I'm big into home improvement projects. I just love doing stuff around the house. Like yesterday I ran electricity from my elderly neighbor's shed to my house. I’m a regular handyman. But for those of you out there that can't manage to complete a project without hurting yourself, here comes the Nail Cushion. It's a "rubberized plate that holds various nail diameters to allow an easy and safe strike." So your precious little digits don't get all smashed up. But what happens when you get marooned on a tropical island with no Nail Cushion? You ain't building a house like the Swiss Family Robinson, that's for sure. Nope, you get eaten by a shark one morning when you're collecting sea urchins. And all because you never learned to wield a hammer.
Note: I'm not even going to comment on the way the hand in the picture is holding the hammer.

That has got to be the most pussified thing ever invented by a homo grandpa.
Dumb.

I believe the whole point is that it's a cushion for not damaging your wall...the side "benefit" is that you can keep your fingers safe too.
So it's not really a bad idea.

It's gay...even if it had "elastomeric shockgaskets" it still would suck anal pubes.

These have been around for years - I bought a better-designed one (had a ruler etched on there and some nail diameter markings) at WalMart for like 97 cents three years ago.
It's not as weird as it sounds - they're flexible rubber so it can be bent into corners and such. There's some applications where it would be tough to hold the nail and still have room to actually hit the head, so this thing helps get the job done. Although any real handyman would probably just use a pair of angled needlenose pliers instead - I like the one I got because it's a quick diameter gauge and mini-ruler in one piece.
