ACCUSET MICRQPINNER: IN A CLASS BY ITSELF
For those very fine pieces of woodworking or smaller intricate projects we've had excellent success with the 23-gauge A100MP micro-pinner from Accuset. This small tool allows you to apply mouldings and assemble small pieces with barely a hole showing from the nail. While the length capacity is limited to 1", this should be sufficient for the type of applications this tool was designed for. At around $130 it's not a tool to buy just for the heck of it, but we've found more uses for this finesse tool than expected.
