It means to be exact or make a valid point. It is related to "hitting the nail on the head." A good carpenter would be able to swing a hammer and center it over the head of the nail as they hit it. That way, they don't bend the nail nor smash their finger. So just like a good carpenter swings with accuracy, the phrase can be used to mean being exactly correct.
