Stick the nail through a piece of card. Avoids hammering your expendable fingers. |

Maybe the rubber fingers could explode with fake blood if you hit them hard, acting as a timely reminder of what might have happened if you hadn't used them? |

In that case though they'd need to be sold in packets of 3, or in my case 10. |

An old timer taught me that the right way to start nails is to hold the nail between two fingers, the knuckles of which are resting on the surface to be nailed. This way if you miss you are only hitting the meat of your fingers instead of the tip or the bone.
I haven't had to use certain expletives since. Don't get me wrong, rubber fingers are good too. |

Ask for a nail guide (see link). |
