SpringTools 32R12-1 1/32 to 2/32-Inch Combination Nail Set

Ive done carpentry work almost my entire adult life and how Id never seen one of these until a few months ago, I dont know. But as soon as I saw someone use one I bought it. It now has a permanent spot in my tool belt and my regular nailsets havent left my toolbox since.

The sort of thing thats easily overlooked. No one needs it, until they have a protruding brad. Typically, that would result in aggravation or trying to sink the brad by some more complicated means that still ends up hurting the surrounding wood. But I must say, this simple little gadget is perfect for making any brad nail flush or deeper into your wood project. Incredibly simple to use, nice quality, and very sturdy. It also takes literally a few seconds to sink each brad flush, with no need for any specific skills, dexterity, or much accuracy.

One of the tips metal broke off after two days of use while just setting 2” Brad nails on one floor of baseboard. It also gets a little annoying pulling it back if you have too many nails thah didn’t set and can start hurting your fingers. You’re better off with a regular nail punch and hammer if your doing actual trim work, but this works for a few here or there.

Works great for finish carpentry setting nails and pulling hinge pins. Significantly faster than carrying traditional punch and hammer.

I actually bought my first one these at a thrift store for $1. The spring was a little weak and bent but it still worked great for years until I lost it. Found myself doing quite a bit of finish work and decided to order another. Super easy to use, can set 18ga brads or 15ga and bigger finish nails. Spring is super strong compared to my first one and should last a long time. Find a good spot in your tool pouch for it, sucks when it goes missing

just buy it you wont regret

The Spring tool is the fastest, easiest nail set tool that I have ever used. Much easier and faster than a hammer and nailset.

I put all new baseboards in my home during the summer and when using a nail gun sometimes you will need a nail set becuase at times the nails are proud of the surface. I tried this new spring tool and I love it. It saves a lot of time. I do recommend you using leather gloves so you do not pinch the skin on your hand.

As the headline states... I dont use this tool often. But it never lets me down when I need it. It has plenty of spring power. And it is very durable. Add one to your tool collection.

I am a finish carpenter and I have used a a lot of tools, but this nailset is by far my favorite tool ever. As part of my job I install a lot of baseboard, crown, etc, using really hard woods. Most of the time the nail gun will set the nails, but every once in a while I will get a nail that doesnt sink all the way. The reason I love the SpringTools nail set is that it allows me to do all of my work without having to carry a hammer. The Spring nail set doesnt just work as well as a typical hammer and nailset, I have found that it works better. I can more accurately place the spring nailset without having to worry about it slipping off of the nail and putting a hole in the wood. Because of the spring, I fill like I am getting a stronger hit then a hammer can provide, without any added shock. The spring has the same affect as a deadblow. I have been using the same one for years, and it only has a small chip in the metal.
