Glieskir Spring Loaded Nail Set Tools,2-PCS Dual Head Nail Setter and Hinge Pin Punch Set, Hammerless 1/16″& 3/32″Spring Nail Set, Super Strong Force Door Pin Removal Tool

I mainly got this set for removing hinge pins and it seems to work well for that. It’s pretty simple in that it has 2 pieces which are connected by a spring. You simply stretch the spring then let go of one end so that it produces an impact. I was unsure if it would produce enough impact to remove a door hinge pin, however it moved the hinge pin on the first impact. For this I give it 5 out of 5 on Oilboy’s Slainte scale.

Ive owned and lost plenty of spring punches over the years. Im happy to say this one is just like all the others. Super handy tool to put in a tool belt or even just your pocket. Im a residential maintenance tech and these things are awesome to have from setting nails to popping doors off hinges and I dont need to carry around my hammer to do it either. All said I have owned better versions of these punches but Ive also owned worse. These will certainly get the job done though

These hammers are great to use! Theyre very compact, and provide a sharp strike that is perfect for dislodging things like door hinge pins. They also work great for hammering them back in, or putting trim nails back into place. They offer plenty of force when you pull them back far, and they have nice bands cut into them for gripping the tip that work well. There is also no binding up or rubbing of the springs when using them. All-in-all, a great set of spring hammers!

Like most home handymen, I have door hinges in tight spaces where I shouldnt be hammering a screwdriver into the door hinge to remove them. This lives up to the promise - pull back and with a few thwangs that center pin pops right out. Yay. Ill also be using the other one to handle that final few mm of driving finishing nails where you dont want to risk the surface to a hammer strike. This should easily drive those. The punch version will also get used in my life to mark the center of a drilling point. A little whack with the pointy one will accurately place a dimple where I can center the bit and not risk it walking while starting the motor. HOWEVER, after knocking out two hinges just in the name of testing, i noticed the plating chrome finish (almost certainly not chrome) chipped on one of them. This doesnt impact the usefulness of the tool, but it does hint that if this is something you need more than a few times a year (I dont) that this may not be a family heirloom to pass through the generations. For $9, set (ha!) your expectations appropriately.

These are good quality and have held up well. Makes setting nails easy. Also works well for setting a hole when drilling metal as well!

Other reviews mention the shortcomings well. Plating not great (and not really necessary, black oxide finish would be preferable), points dont index into finish nail head, spring probably a little too stiff etc. But in a pinch these will get the job done. I wouldnt recommend or do it again, but Im not going to throw them away either. They just go into the collection of better-than-nothing tools that I dig through when Im in a pinch.

This is a copy of the original SpringTools nail set tool, and like most of the copies out there, it’s a little cruder, it doesn’t work quite as well, and it’s not much cheaper. My SpringTools nail set is over 20 years old and still works fine. It’s made in the US, and the company has a good warranty, too.

Seems well built to me. Does everything I need it to do. Comes in hand when you need it.
