I invented The Nailer (a drywall backer) in 1992 after searching for a better way to install drywall. After 20 years of construction, I had seen my share of wasted wood and labor and had received plenty of busted knuckles installing wood backing. Drywall clips that pinched on to the drywall were awkward to use and could only be hard fastened to the framing- not the drywall. All too often these clips caused serious injuries with their sharp edges and claws- there had to be a simpler way.
