Morphology

nailer = nail (transparent) = nail + er

Instrumental/agentive formation from the verb 'nail' using the productive suffix '-er', meaning 'a tool that drives nails' is directly derived.

Etymology

Nailer can also mean a tool or machine and it uses the same parts: nail 'a small metal spike' and -er 'something that does'. So a nailer in this sense is a thing that 'drives' nails, like a modern nail gun or a heavy hammer for work.
