I use a tool called a Spiralux which is nothing more than                       
a telescopic pusher. The pin is held inside a tube and the                      
handle pushes down a plunger onto the nail, driving it into                     
the wood. 3/4" gimp pins go in quickly and easily.                              
                                                                                
For larger quantities, many tackers/staplers, particularly the                  
electric ones, will drive small nails.
