Kiwi PM Key admits 'not adept at woodwork' post 'nail fail' video going viral

New Zealand Prime Minister John Key has admitted that he is not at all good at woodwork after a video of him trying to hammer a nail and repeatedly missing it went viral on the internet.

The footage that has been doing the rounds on social media showed Key trying to help put up a hoarding for National's Northland candidate Mark Osborne over the weekend, reported News.com.au.

Key, with a hammer in his hand, tries to strike the nail but misses it countless times.

After the video went viral, Key said, "All that proves is I'm never any good at woodwork. I did tell them I can't do this very well.
