Malco TNP3S Trim Nail Punch, Small, Pack of 1, Multi

I dont need it all the time, but when I need it, its great to have. If you have done any type of siding or trim work, there is always a small trim nail that you cant hold and nail at the same time. I used this punch a couple of days ago and it did exactly what I needed it to do.

I used this to set weatherstrip nails in Bronze weatherstripping. Its a little large for that but it does work. Also, this model doesnt have a nail retainer clip so you have to carefully hold the plunger back a bit so the nail doesnt fall out. I pre-drilled the nail holes with some small metric drill bits that I bought at Harbor Freight. Doing that and using this punch made the job go a lot easier.

This is the nail punch you want if you only want one in your bag - this one has almost no slop, excess between bore and punch - whereas the larger versions have quite a lot of wiggle between the punch and bore. The plastic is almost enough to keep it from rolling away, they could have gone a little wider or a little more tactile or a little more vibration absorbing. But still the best punch style tool on the market.

Great tool!

nothing spectacular about this tool. it gets the job done and is the slimmest one i could find. i would buy it again

Good

Makes it possible to drive trim nails without bending them and without hitting thumbs and fingers in spots you never thought possible.

I tried another brand, but the copper nail heads were too wide to fit. This works quite well, and REALLY speeds up weatherstrip installation and takes out all the frustration. And you can pound the nails flush with this, no need to go back with a punch to finish the job. Simple tool, but a game changer for this use.

Broke while using it

works great
