What is a punch nail?

Published in Hand Tools 1 min read

A nail punch is a tool used to drive nails below the surface of wood, often used when installing trim or skirting boards.

The referenced video briefly describes its use:

  • A nail punch is used to drive nails in further, particularly when you're close to finishing driving a nail into wood.
  • It's useful for situations like installing skirting boards by hand.
  • It allows you to drive the nail head slightly below the surface of the wood without damaging the surrounding material.

In summary, a nail punch helps you finish nailing without marring the surrounding wood surface, allowing for a clean, professional look.
