> 3 daySince moving I have had to remove hinge pins numerous times, as well as hanging pictures, fixing baseboards, etc. This set is great for helping me with these tasks. Start with what I found to be an essential part of this set, the hinge pin remover. The previous owner of my house painted over ALL the hinge pins, so removing them with a punch and hammer was maddeningly difficult and impossible in some cases (some were even rusted). This tool works like a charm: three or four “snaps” and my hinge pins can be removed by traditional means. This has saved me lots of frustration and I can now finish some jobs I had to put on hold. The nail sets in this kit are also extremely useful: first, for setting finish nails in baseboard and crown moulding, where using a hammer and traditional nail set can be difficult. You can set the nails without damaging the trim. The other useful thing these nail sets are great for (and what i use them the most for) is to mark a spot where I want to put a screw or nail, or drill a hole: the indentation they leave allows me to be spot-on and prevents the screw or drill bit from ‘walking’ on me. This is especially useful when installing hinges. If you are trying to set nails that are bigger than finishing nails, this set is not what you want, but for the average home DIYer it is a good set to have at a decent price.

> 3 dayThese 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!

> 3 dayThe 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.

> 3 dayThis no hammer design is great for tight spaces and to keep from smashing fingers.

Greater than one weekLike most home handymen, I have door hinges in tight spaces where I shouldnt be hammering a screwdriver into the door hinge to remove them. This lives up to the promise - pull back and with a few thwangs that center pin pops right out. Yay. Ill also be using the other one to handle that final few mm of driving finishing nails where you dont want to risk the surface to a hammer strike. This should easily drive those. The punch version will also get used in my life to mark the center of a drilling point. A little whack with the pointy one will accurately place a dimple where I can center the bit and not risk it walking while starting the motor. HOWEVER, after knocking out two hinges just in the name of testing, i noticed the plating chrome finish (almost certainly not chrome) chipped on one of them. This doesnt impact the usefulness of the tool, but it does hint that if this is something you need more than a few times a year (I dont) that this may not be a family heirloom to pass through the generations. For $9, set (ha!) your expectations appropriately.

> 3 dayThese 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.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayIve 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
