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

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.

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)!

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.

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.

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.

I liked the concept of this style of nail set in theory would be slightly more comfortable and efficeint than the traditional style but in reality i find it to be quite the opposite. Less comfortable to use in the hand and functions the same or less efficently than your traditional nail set.

Makes removing doors incredibly easy. Definitely recommend to others

Makes setting nails very easy.

Positives: 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.

At first, I thought it was a bit of a gimmick but at the price, I figured Id give it a try. Ive only used it on oak and pine so far. On the oak it leaves a decent mark, on the pine, It really leaves an impression :).
