Crescent CPPS456 Nail Punch Set 6 Piece Steel

Product Description

The CRESCENT CPPS456 is a 6-piece nail punch set designed for driving finish nails below the surface of wood without marring surrounding material. Each punch is machined from steel for durability under repeated hammer strikes. The set covers six common nail sizes, from 1/16 inch up to 5/16 inch, making it a practical all-in-one solution for trim carpenters, finish contractors, cabinet installers, and general construction tradespeople. The punches store in an included plastic case that keeps the set organized and protected on the job site or in a tool bag.

This set is suited for residential and light commercial finish work including interior trim installation, cabinet and millwork fastening, hardwood flooring nail setting, and furniture assembly. The range of punch sizes accommodates most standard finish and brad nail head diameters encountered in typical carpentry and woodworking applications. The compact case format makes the set easy to transport between job sites.

Installation Notes

Nail punches are used by carpenters and finish tradespeople without the need for power tools. Select the punch size that closely matches the nail head diameter to avoid splitting surrounding wood or leaving an oversized hole. Strike the punch squarely with a hammer to drive the nail head below the surface. Inspect punches periodically for mushrooming on the strike end and dress or replace as needed to maintain safe use.
