> 3 dayThese 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.

> 3 dayPositives: 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.

> 3 dayWas actually quite fun to going around punching in finishing nails that my cordless didnt get the whole way in due to a dying battery. This thing works great.

> 3 dayKeep It Simple Stupid! Nice, simple, strong tool set that should be in your tool box. These offer just the right amount of force and delicacy for nail setting and hinge pin removal. A few snaps and you will set your nail head below the wood or remove your hinge pin without marring or damaging the surrounding wood.

> 3 dayIf 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.

> 3 dayPros: 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.

> 3 dayThese 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.

> 3 dayI had seen these things for a couple years now and wasnt too sure if they would work as well as they were advertised. Boy was I wrong. These and great and I couldnt tell you how many times I have made an excuse to use them since I got them in the mail. I have used them to knock door hinge pins out, set brad nails in trim, and a few other things and they have been fantastic, no issue whatsoever. These are a great gift for that DIY dad or friend you have in your life.
