Anyways, a regular hammer is all you need but it should be used in conjunction with a nail set, make sure you prefer I'll where ever you are going to nail with a hole smaller than your finish nail though, you don't want to split the stupid thing. With the nail set set the nails in about, I donno, a 16th inch below the surface of the threshold (assuming that's indeed what it is). If you have any extra flooring get out a saw or a sander and make you some sawdust, mix that sawdust with wood glue into a paste, smushing the paste into the cavity above the nail head, voila, nobody would ever be the wiser
- don't use a framing hammer, look at the face before you start, should be flat no have bumps.

- And what happens when you miss. . . You have a smooth round bruise across the back of your hand in stead of a waffled one lolterry_cloth
