A nail-hammering apparatus includes a hammer, a first solenoid, a second solenoid and a control device. The hammer can hammer a nail into a workpiece. The first solenoid can be turned on so as to drive the hammer. The second solenoid can be turned on in order to drive the hammer after the first solenoid. The spring tends to bias the hammer to its original position when the second solenoid is turned off. If the nail has not entirely enters the workpiece, the control device turns on the second solenoid so as to drive the hammer one more time.
