DLJZGC 2PCS Dual Head Nail Setter and Hinge Pin Punch Set, Hammerless Spring Nail Set with 1/32IN & 1/16IN Heads, Ultra high 5000 PSI Striking Force Door Hinge Pin Removal Tool

If youve never used one of these youre missing out. I recommend this to anyone that needs to remove a stubborn door hinge pin. In the past I used a hammer and chisel or a screwdriver to remove pins and I was always worried I would mar the hinge or door. These are the perfect replacement, no more marring! Be careful these things can really move the hinge pin and knock it completely out. I just use it to loosen the pins, I dont want the pin messing up the carpet... Great little tool that does the job.

At first, I thought it was a bit of a gimmick but at the price, I figured Id give it a try. Ive only used it on oak and pine so far. On the oak it leaves a decent mark, on the pine, It really leaves an impression :).

I’ve never been good at using the old fashioned type of nail set - steadily hold the point of the punch on the exposed finish nail head with one hand and then tap the punch gently, but firmly, with a hammer held in my other hand. It seems that about every third strike of my hammer happens just as I allow the punch to slip off the nail head … and so I end up with a hole gouged in my work piece right beside the nail head that is still sticking up out of the surrounding surface. Bummer! So when I discovered this spring loaded nail punch I decided to give it a try. The result of my first test is shown in my photos. I short 3 nails into a scrap 3/4” thick board. Two of the nails were slightly proud of the surface and the middle one was just flush. If I were painting this, all three would need to be set slightly down into the surface and filled with putty or filler. Using the spring loaded punch I struck each nail head about 3-4 times as I learned how to use the new type of nail set device. I managed to get the left two set down just below the surface (as desired), but on the far right one I let the punch slip off the nail head and wound up with a divot beside the nail. So although the process seemed strange (since it was my first attempt), this spring loaded nail punch did accomplish its task just as good as the old fashioned type … 2 out of 3 were set nicely … and the third managed to get an extra hole beside the nail head that will need to be filled along with the nail hole. Hopefully I can improve my ratio of good hits with additional practice. As for the door hinge pin removal tool which is included in this set of 2 punches, although I didn’t test it, I think it would perform its task very well and without any risk of scarring a door with a hammer knocking out the hinge pin using a standard punch.

These sure beat the heck out of my normal method of removing hinge pins. Hold in place, stretch, and release. The pins fly in or out of the hinge, depending which way you are going. I tried the nail set on some old trim nails and it set them deeper without any trouble at all. No more nail sets needed and no more finding a small screwdriver and a hammer to get pins out.

Love them work graat

Pros: 1) It only took 3 hits with the hinge pin punch to remove the hinge. Word to the wise, once you loosen most of the hinge, dont fully load a hit or it might shoot the hinge into the air. I think...I mean, Im guessing...I mean, probably dont do that. 2) The hinge pin punch also works to put the hinge back in place - no more accidentally hitting the door casing with the hammer. No more hammer. 3) No more hammer to set nails - again probably good to test out how much pull these actually need to do their job. You could easily overdo it, not that it would be the end of the world, just test a few times to get a feel for it or go easy to start with. 4) I like the two sizes for the nail set, a finer point and a beefier point. I would definitely use the finer point with my pin nails. Cons: 1) I dont see anything wrong with these. Ill keep using them and update if anything pops up.

The long part keeps breaking off

These things work great! I love the variety between the different heads so you can find just the right one. I had some framing nails that were poking up through the top of my banister and this hammered them home quite easily! Now I have to fill and paint the holes but thats to be expected. They are easy to hold onto and easy to use, even kind of fun. Im actively looking for nails that needs to be hammered away at haha. Recommend without reservation

I had seen these things for a couple years now and wasnt too sure if they would work as well as they were advertised. Boy was I wrong. These and great and I couldnt tell you how many times I have made an excuse to use them since I got them in the mail. I have used them to knock door hinge pins out, set brad nails in trim, and a few other things and they have been fantastic, no issue whatsoever. These are a great gift for that DIY dad or friend you have in your life.

Makes removing doors incredibly easy. Definitely recommend to others
