An essential accessory for anyone in the [**furniture building or upholstery trade**](https://www.nailgundepot.com/upholstery-furniture-products.html), the decorative nailer eliminates hours of hammering decorative tacks into furniture - vastly reducing production time.  Ready to get started? Keep reading to learn how to use a decorative nailer.

![UFFY Deco Nailer](https://www.nailgundepot.com/media/magefan_blog/2017/05/deconailer.jpg) To provide some background, [**decorative nails**](https://www.nailgundepot.com/decorative-tacks20140211154642-products.html) are typically found along the edge or seam of an upholstered piece of furniture. Deco nails look similar to a thumbtack, but have a cupped head (resembling an umbrella) when viewing from the side. Before the deco nailer was an option, decorative tacks were hammered into upholstered furniture one by one; a process both time consuming and tedious.

![Decorative Nails](https://www.nailgundepot.com/media/magefan_blog/2017/05/Deco_Tacks.jpg) Thankfully, **[Uffy Tools](http://www.uffytools.com/index.html)** introduced the **[TH-T-DECO1 pneumatic decorative upholstery nailer](https://www.nailgundepot.com/uffy-thtdeco1-decorative-upholstery-nailer-details.html)**, which eliminates the redundant hammering of deco nails into upholstery trim. What really makes this Uffy deco nailer unique is its operation. Simply add a handful of correct size (7/16" head by 1/2" shank) deco nails into the magazine, and the tool will sort out the rest during operation.

What happens inside the magazine is something similar to a tornado, as the tool aligns each decorative nail into an automatically fed magazine.  No more expensive collated tacks. No manual alignment.  The beauty of this Uffy - it does all the work for you. Just make sure you have an air compressor that can provide 6.72 CFM at 90 PSI. **~ The Team At Nail Gun Depot**
