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

Positives: Priced affordably enough that even a casual DIYer should get one. The nail set does a decent job setting small nails and staying on the head. The hinge pin driver also does a pretty good job of knocking the door hinge pins loose. This is a well priced and functional set for most people’s toolbox. Less positive/things to consider:I also own a nail set/hinge pin driver made by Ares. There is a clear difference in the two sets. Aside from the slight difference in length, (see second picture) the Ares set feels noticeably heavier. Obviously, in a spring punch set, extra weight is extra force on impact. For most people, probably not a big deal, but if you are doing it all day, one strike is better than two. The slightly longer length also make the Ares a little easier to handle, but again, only significant if you use it a lot. The second thing I was less than thrilled with was the actual design of the grooves. They are milled out straight grooves, which means you are pulling on and sliding a fairly rigid edge when you pull and release against those grooves, they aren’t rounded or smoothed out at all. This makes for a good gripping edge, but it could get rather abrasive in a hurry on your finger pads if you have to use them for an extended period of time. Takeaway: Very decent set for most DIYer toolboxes. Not as heavy or refined as some others (Ares), but at 1/3 the price, they are a much more budget friendly option for most people, and still do the job just fine.

I have a set of various sized nail setters that have seen a lot of use over the years, but have never seen a spring-loaded setter until I saw this set. At first, I decided against ordering it... just couldn’t see how it would work... but decided to give it a chance. After playing around with it for a while, it won’t replace my old school nail setters, but there are applications where this is a very handy tool to have on hand. It does deliver more force than I expected. Additionally, you get the hinge pin removal tool, which actually does a decent job and reduces the risk of damaging a door with an errant hammer tap. For the price, there is no excuse for not adding this to your tool kit.

I hate the old nail sets; they constantly slip off the finish nail and now I have a perfect impression of the nail set in my work piece. But I was suspicious of this style using a spring instead of a hammer. O. K. I was wrong, these things are great. It is so easy to hold the set on the nail head with one hand and snap the spring with the other. These nail sets are well made and easy to use and set the nail at the depth I want first snap. If youre looking for nail sets you should give these a try. And having a hinge pin is a nice extra.

The long part keeps breaking off

These are awesome to say the least. They wont do for putting a deck together, but for proud trim nails, door pins, and general purposes the nail sets work great. The aggressive cuts on the ends give great grip on the tool while you pull back the spring and theres no real impact on your fingers when you use it. Everything works as it should, and as long as you understand its limitations you wont be disappointed by these. They arent going to replace a hammer entirely, but they were made for countersinking and precise work which they do extremely well.

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

Makes removing doors incredibly easy. Definitely recommend to others

Save time with this tool.

Not to easy to use in tight spots

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.
