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 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.

This is a copy of the original SpringTools nail set tool, and like most of the copies out there, it’s a little cruder, it doesn’t work quite as well, and it’s not much cheaper. My SpringTools nail set is over 20 years old and still works fine. It’s made in the US, and the company has a good warranty, too.

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!

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.

Both of these get so much use on the job site. Being able to pop doors off the hinges quickly with one tool and no risk of damage is amazing. and the nail set is so much faster, easier and less likely to cause more work than reacher for the hammer and nail set. and again, doing with 1 tool what usually takes 2. not sure how heavy duty they are but I lose these things faster than I can break them, and I use them quite a bit and roughly, so for the price point this is a great option.

These looked pretty interesting and really require a fair bit of force to operate. They snap back very strong and definitely put some force behind a small nail to set it. Also as a punch yeah it marks pretty well. However the primary reason I saw it was to better set in brad nails for things like framing or trim pieces. In that regard I have to remove a star because the heads are still too large to actually operate in those situations. All the brad nails Ive seen require a smaller tip than any of the ones provided with these two tools. Everywhere I tried to better set a framing nail, the head couldnt even enter the hole the nail was in! Kind of a shame because they produce a heck of a lot of force. So they dont disappoint on the force applied but on the size of the nails you could use them on.

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.
