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

The long part keeps breaking off

Always good to have a pair of these in your toolbox. They work well for their intended purpose though the impact force is not as strong as I expected it to be. These also have straight ridges, instead of rounded ones, and will start to chafe your fingers if you need to use them for a sustained amount of time. I have a few other name-brand punches that are better but for the overall value, I can’t really complain.

Not to easy to use in tight spots

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.

These make life so much easier when you have a door to deal with! They have a good spring on them and they work perfectly to help with door hinges.

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.

I love these things! No hammer needed, keep it in your apron or pocket, pull it out to set nails quickly without having to carry a hammer on odd jobs. Not having to use a hammer with these is the primary advantage, but also, it is good in a tight or delicate spaces when missing the punch, or misjudging the strength with which to hit the punch could be disastrous. This product will save you from both short-comings. Some contractors think they are silly or a gimmick, but they really do work! You hold one end of the punch directly onto the nail head, pull out the other end then let go; a direct hit every time! Ive used other brands of these before and these seem to be totally up to par with those ones, and maybe even better! These are nickel coated, so I think they are going to resist rust better than the ones Ive used in the past. This set has the ideal array of nose & tip styles to handle most nail setting tasks from start to finish on a house construction site. I really like the straight hinge punch tip, its very multipurpose and can reach deep down to set nails without risk of widening the hole. This is a great set to have on hand, even if you already have traditional nail sets (they each have their advantages)!

Last time I had to remove the hinge pins from one of my doors I had to unscrew one of the hinges from the jam to get the pin out. I tried the same pin with this and about 6-7 strikes later it was out! This definitely beats going at it with a hammer and center punch or similar tool, especially for hinges that are in difficult to get to places. I tried the nailset on some 16 and 18 gauge nails and had so-so results. There is no doubt that a hammer and regular nailset is quicker and drives the nail farther, however in places hard to reach with a hammer this could prove invaluable. Besides that, my only real complaint is that the grooves cut into the part you hold onto are kind of sharp dont feel good in the hand during use. Otherwise, theyre worth having in your toolbox.

I ordered this Punch Set with low expectations since it just didnt look like it would have the power to get the job done. I am pleased to report that they do actually work! I was able to remove a stubborn door hinge pin with several cycles of the device without having to resort to a hammer and nail. I also had success with setting a small finishing nail. The ability to punch a drill set point in metal was less successful but it did still make a small indention. If you need a heavy-duty setting tool this may not work for you but for lightweight work its great.

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.
