Starrett 53031 Nail Punch 3/32 in 4 in Oal Steel

Product Description

The STARRETT 53031 is a nail punch designed for setting nail heads below the surface of wood and other materials without marring the surrounding workpiece. Built from steel with a knurled grip, this punch delivers reliable control during repeated strikes with a hammer. It has a 3/32 inch punch tip and an overall length of 4 inches, making it a compact, hand-tool-appropriate size for trim work, finish carpentry, cabinetry, and general construction tasks. Carpenters, finish tradespeople, and general contractors reach for nail punches like this one when a clean, recessed nail finish is required.

This punch is suited for residential and light commercial finish work where nail heads need to be driven flush or below the surface prior to filling and finishing. The 3/32 inch tip size is appropriate for common finish and brad nails. Its compact 4 inch overall length provides adequate hand clearance during use in tight spaces such as trim installation around door casings, window frames, and base molding applications.

Installation Notes

A nail punch is a hand tool used with a hammer — no power tools or special codes apply. Position the tip squarely on the nail head before striking to prevent tip slippage and surface damage. Wear appropriate eye protection when driving any punch. Inspect the punch tip before use and replace if the tip shows deformation that could cause deflection.
