Anyone try using a pneumatic palm nailer to help get bolts into tight spaces where there isn't enough room to swing a hammer? I'm thinking specifically of the the nose gear mounting bolt. A patient of mine suggested it as a possible way to drive a tight interference fit bolt in a cramped spot, and my local Canadian Tire happens to have them on sale for 20 bucks today?.

Yup, right along with the famous Home Depot aviation section?.

Rivet gun

I tried a palm nailer and it worked ok but the best tool was a rivet gun with a long, offset flat head.

Did the bolt head fit inside the nailer? I'm afraid I don't have a rivet gun.
