Glieskir Spring Loaded Nail Set Tools,2-PCS Dual Head Nail Setter and Hinge Pin Punch Set, Hammerless 1/16″& 3/32″Spring Nail Set, Super Strong Force Door Pin Removal Tool

I mainly got this set for removing hinge pins and it seems to work well for that. It’s pretty simple in that it has 2 pieces which are connected by a spring. You simply stretch the spring then let go of one end so that it produces an impact. I was unsure if it would produce enough impact to remove a door hinge pin, however it moved the hinge pin on the first impact. For this I give it 5 out of 5 on Oilboy’s Slainte scale.

The hinge pin tool has a nice longer hammer to help get a lot of energy for removing stubborn pins. I tried it on a door with stiff pins. It took a few hits to get it to budge, but then it came right out. The nail setter has equally sized hammers on each side so I can use whichever point I prefer. Its great for knocking down nails without having to worry about damaging the surrounding work with a full on hammer. They have nice grips so its not slipping, and good strong springs that feel like theyll last. Overall a great kit. Highly recommended.

Got this for various reasons, from driving something down in a tight location like a hinge pin to marking the spot i need to drill. The quality is superb, and they are so easy to use. Ive already had several uses for them, driving some hinge pins down, which worked better than i could have imagined. These are a definite must in any tool box.

These hammers are great to use! Theyre very compact, and provide a sharp strike that is perfect for dislodging things like door hinge pins. They also work great for hammering them back in, or putting trim nails back into place. They offer plenty of force when you pull them back far, and they have nice bands cut into them for gripping the tip that work well. There is also no binding up or rubbing of the springs when using them. All-in-all, a great set of spring hammers!

This review is for Glieskir Spring Loaded Nail Set Tools,2-PCS Dual Head Nail Setter and Hinge Pin Punch Set, Hammerless 1/16″& 3/32″Spring Nail Set, Super Strong Force Door Pin Removal Tool, Glieskir Item model number PinPunch-1 (ASIN B0BXWTV29D). The tools arrived very quickly and were packaged in a heavy reclosable plastic bag. I confess that at first I was confused about how to use these tools. All of the other nail sets Id ever used required a hammer, but theres no way to use a hammer with these. When I ordered these tools, in my minds eye Id pictured something which operated like a spring loaded center hole punch -- push down slowly and after an inch or so of travel it would impact the pin internally. But thats not how these tools work. To use the Glieskir tools, place the tip of one end against the nail to be set and PULL the other end away from the nail. Stretch the spring for an inch or two and then release. The spring retracts and hammers the nail in a bit. It works remarkably well! I gave the hinge pin punch a try and found that it works just fine. Use the narrow end to remove a hinge pin or the wide end to insert a hinge pin. I doubt that Ill have much use for this tool, though. I wish theyd put a center punch (a sharp pointy tip) on the opposite end of the hinge pin remover, Im sure Id use that much more often than a hinge pin inserter.

I work at a woodworking shop and the boss came in with a set of these. Once trying them out I knew I had to have a set of my own. These seem just as nice as the ones my boss had. I am happy with them so far. The spring seems nice and over all they seem sturdy. These will come in handy.

Seems well built to me. Does everything I need it to do. Comes in hand when you need it.

Other reviews mention the shortcomings well. Plating not great (and not really necessary, black oxide finish would be preferable), points dont index into finish nail head, spring probably a little too stiff etc. But in a pinch these will get the job done. I wouldnt recommend or do it again, but Im not going to throw them away either. They just go into the collection of better-than-nothing tools that I dig through when Im in a pinch.

Ive owned and lost plenty of spring punches over the years. Im happy to say this one is just like all the others. Super handy tool to put in a tool belt or even just your pocket. Im a residential maintenance tech and these things are awesome to have from setting nails to popping doors off hinges and I dont need to carry around my hammer to do it either. All said I have owned better versions of these punches but Ive also owned worse. These will certainly get the job done though

This nail set hinge punch set gets the job done, but I am not sure how well it will hold up. To use the nail set, you position it over the nail you would like to set below the surface, pull back on the spring, and let it snap down and drive the nail. To test it, I drove two 4d finish nails into a piece a fir board, leaving the nail heads slightly proud. I then used the nail set to drive them below flush (see the photo with a before and after for one of the nails). The nail set did the job, but I noticed that the tip of the nail set was slightly damaged after this simple test. It developed burs and it appears that the plating is beginning to flake. This is more damage than I would expect after setting only two nails. Time will tell how well this will hold up, but I am not confident that this will be a long lasting tool, so I give it 3 stars.
